Expensive but worth it.

I bought these in October for winter activities in New England. Although the cold is only starting to set in (Review written on 11/4/24) I can already tell these tights will be great.

First, the fleece lining feels fantastically warm and cozy.Im pretty slim and they fit very well, although Im not sure how a person with more curves would enjoy them. They are incredibly comfy, but because they're more insulated than normal tights they have less stretch that a curvier person might want. Def try a pair on at REI.

Second the pockets are perfect. The wind stop fabric makes more of a difference than I expected, and on those windy winter days will be wonderful. I especially appreciate how comfortable the thigh pockets are, because I've never found a pair of running shorts / tights where my phone didn't bounce and annoy me. These tights are so well engineered that True Story, I looked for my phone for 20 minutes only to realize it was infact, in my tights.

They regulate temp well, which is crucial for winter activities. There;s nothing worse than something that keeps you warm but makes you sweat.

Lastly, they look good, and for someone who was always a bit hesitant to wear tights, I wear these all the time.

Strong work, Janji.

Awesome winter running

Wore these on a cool night run. Great fit. Great pockets. Looking forward to wearing when it is cold to see how they go then. I’m not concerned cuz all the Janji gear is awesome. I am between sizes with Janji tights. Either M or L are fine.

Ideal for Sub-freeze & Wind

Love, love the wind block shields and slightly thicker fabric for these running tights. Absolutely ideal for below freezing temps and/or winter winds. My first experience in these was in 30° with a windchill of 22°. Will definitely be my ‘go to’ running tights throughout the winters ahead.

Great tights

I absolutely LOVE these! Very warm and the print is great! I'm in between on sizes so I probably can go down a size but that's on me. I'll definitely order some more as needed

So warm!

These will be great for sub-freezing runs. They fit similar to the Groundwork Tight but the addition of the large zippered pockets is a great improvement. The fleece lining is soft and warm but doesn’t add much bulk.

Almost *too* warm

Bought these tights for easy fall and winter running in New England. Fleece lining is soft and feels great next too skin, almost too warm for temps above freezing. Took these on a 4-miler and the pockets carried light gloves, a buff, headband, and iPhone--no bounce, with plenty of room to spare.

Mixed feelings....

I have a love/hate relationship with Janji gear. Love the gear, but I find the sizing problematic. My problem: I am not a wafer-thin ultra runner. I typically wear an XL in men's bottoms. In most brands that is perfect. I am not sloshing around in them, and I am not squeezed in like a sausage. Unfortunately for me, Janji runs small by comparison and doesn't offer an XXL. So, I generally find myself either sized out completely or in sausage mode. Alas, these fell into the sausage mode category.

It seems to me that Janji took their regular tights and added fleece to them inside without consideration of the extra space that fleece takes up. I barely got into them. I am still contemplating returning them. Any additional winter weight and I am not going to get into them at all. I am hoping to God that these will stretch out a little bit, like my regular trail tights have. That would be pretty close to perfect.

With sizing whining aside, these are really nice. Hence my determination to attempt to squeeze into them. I have not worn them on a run/hike yet, but they feel like they will be toasty.

Great tights, but if you are on the tight (no pun intended) side of an XL, you might want to pass on these. There's a good chance you'll be returning them.

Great pants but kept sliding down based on my body type maybe

Amazingly comfortable and warm leggings with nice pockets BUT they keep slipping down my thighs, which introduces resistance with every step because of the compression. Tried it on several runs, different tricks, nothing helped. I think these pants are a better fit for runner with more slender thighs than mine. The pants are also a bit too long for my waist. I swear I am not overweight, I am a 3:29 marathoner, 24h:48m 100-miler, M55.
