In our testing of the best winter running tights, the competition was tough, but none of them nearly tickled all the boxes like Lululemon’s pair. For starters, they’re made with a poly-elastane blend fabric, infused with a four-way stretch that increases mobility, so it’s easy to do your warm-ups and loosen those muscles before hitting the pavement. It has a very soft touch and wicks away moisture, keeping you from breaking a sweat. Thanks to the internal drawcord, the tights remained in place the whole time, no matter what distance we were running.

We were relieved to discover the drop-in pockets on the sides, which safely secured our phone and keys. Warmth wasn’t an issue either; the tights are lightweight on the skin, but offered enough coverage. Our editors have rocked them solo, but we’d be remiss to not acknowledge how easily the tights layer underneath your gym shorts. When testing winter running gear, this pair came remarkably close to perfection, making it tough to spot a single shortcoming. While it doesn’t have reflective details—a potential drawback for those running in low light—it’s hardly a dealbreaker if your routes stick to well-lit areas.
