I bought these tights literally a couple of weeks ago from TE. I should have returned them, but thought I might could make them work. Wore them for about 1/2 hour this morning before my ride, and realized they are not for me. The front is mid-to low rise--I need more support. I paid 129.95. Asking $65.00. I can probably dig out a receipt.

I would post a picture or link, but as I'm woefully non-techie, I can't figure out how to do it. You can find them in the TE apparel section.

Perhaps this will work

You might still be able to return them. That's a lot of money to lose. Do you still have the packaging and tags? Call the customer service line. TE is very helpful in that department.

Hey! I am in atlanta :) How do they fit? A little on the tight side, or true to size!

Thanks Zen for the advice about talking to TE. I feel that since I wore them (only briefly) and they will have to be washed, it's my loss this time.

Sorry, Kacie, I sold them already.

But as to the fit (for future reference), all in all they are a true medium. However, for me, they were a little tight in the legs (quads) and a little too loose in the hips. I'm one of those short curvy girls. I would have been able to tolerate those fit issues, but there just wasn't enough support for me through the mid-section. I've never quite gotten used to low-mid rise anything.
