What it is
A high-rise training tight in a 240 gsm double-knit with 24% elastane. The weight matters here more than anywhere else in the range: light tights go sheer under load, and 240 gsm is where that stops being a problem in most positions. The face of the knit is matte, so it does not pick up shine under gym lighting.
Waistband and pockets
The waistband is 3 inches deep and bonded rather than sewn, so there is no seam line pressing across the stomach and no drawcord to knot. A drop-in pocket runs down the outside of the right thigh, deep enough that a large phone does not lift out during a session. A second, smaller zipped pocket sits at the centre back for keys or a card.
Construction
The crotch is gusseted with a separate diamond panel, which removes the four-way seam junction that normally sits exactly where the fabric takes the most stress. Leg seams are flatlock and run down the back of the calf rather than the inside, so they stay clear of the other leg.
Care
Wash cold, inside out, and hang them to dry. Elastane loses recovery faster in heat than in water, so the dryer is what shortens the life of a tight, not the wash.
