    Review: Hind Munich running pants

    I just got these from TE. http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=22010

    First off, they look a little different than the picture; there is no annoying "HIND" logo on the hip.

    The fabric is soft and warm and light. I tried these on with bare legs and with my Medalist tights, they are great. I think they'll be warm enough most of the Seattle winter without the tights underneath. The fabric has a brushed feel to it but not overly fuzzy. The pants don't seem to be picking up any dog hair, and believe me there's plenty of loose dog hair in my house! Nice and stretchy, no binding/tightness when I move.

    The tailoring... ah, let's talk about the tailoring!
    I'm 5'8 and 145lbs. I ordered the Large in Long length. Hot Doggies! The length is perfect! No cold ankles for me!

    The ankle zippers need to be OPEN to get these on or off, but I have no fear that the legs will catch when I run or snag my chainring on the bike.

    Nice zippered pockets. Shallow (why do women's pockets always seem to be shallow?) but nice, and the zippers are placed along the seam in a way that doesn't bulk up the hips.

    Elastic waist with an inside drawstring. I like the fact that the drawstring isn't one of those slippery little woven things that comes untied the second you take a deep breath. This puppy stays tied! The waist is that perfect low rise (on me anyway) that is so hard for me to find: below my belly-button in front, but just above my hipbones at the sides. Very comfortable and doesn't feel like it's gonna slide off.

    And maybe best of all: the way these pants drape, they make my butt look SMALLER!!!!

    These will work fine running, biking, lazing around the house, and I'd even wear them out in public. <cuz they make my butt look *cute*>

    KnottedYet "there is no annoying "HIND" logo on the hip."

    shouldn't the HIND logo be on the b*tt?
