CW-X tights

Can anyone comment on what the waistline/rise is like on these things? And is the full-length a heavier warmer fabric than the 3/4 length?

Rise is at "natural waist", not low-rise. The full-length is the Insulator (warmer) fabric. The 3/4 is the regular (lighter) weight. In the spring, I think we'll have the tight in the lighter weight as well, but went with the insulator weight for the winter.

Thanks as always for the straight dope. Natural waist I can live with. Verging on the ribcage... not so much.

What's funny is how "subjective" alot of this is.

I am most assuredly not a low-rise kind of gal. Just about every pair of bottoms I own covers my belly button. It's what I'm used to. To alot of women though, especially women in their twenties, covering one's belly button is akin to wearing something up to the chin!

I have no problem with *other* people wearing low-rise bottoms. But I feel like they're falling off of me when I try them on.

He, too true! I find I've got such a short straddle that a lot of stuff rides too high. It's not so bad when I'm standing up, but if I'm bending over at the waist while on a bike it definitely cuts into my digestion. I frequently just roll waistbands down if they aren't cut low enough to begin with. I know it ain't pretty, but me puking on the side of the road ain't too pretty either! Maybe TMI, whoops...
