First Run In the New Pants
This morning I went on my first run wearing my new Hind Munich pants. It was kinda chilly, enough that I should've worn gloves and my ears and nose got cold.
I wore the Medalist tights under the Hinds, just because I didn't want to get too cold. My legs stayed very warm, and really I probably would've been just fine without the tights underneath.
I *REALLY* like the Munich pants for running. Not one complaint have I. My usual running pants are a pair of Adidas with a similar cut. I like the Hinds better, they don't swish around like the Adidas and the fabric isn't clammy like the Adidas.
And the Hind Munichs make my butt look smaller.(hey, I have my priorities!)
Post-run I did my stretching on my carpeted livingroom floor, and once again the brushed fabric of the Hinds failed to pick up lint or dog hair.
Pants that don't announce my appalling housekeeping shortcomings to all and sundry! gotta love that!

Are they a tight fit? Tight like or more like athletic pants? Are they made from a swishy material?

Have you considered the possibility that your butt actually IS smaller, and it's just that other pants make it look bigger than it actually is?

They are a cross between a tight and a pant. Snug at the hips and buns, then looser (but not LOOSE) at the thighs and legs. It's the snugness that makes the butt look smaller and gives it a certain perky quality.
And I do think it's the tailoring, and not my butt shrinking. I look just as flabby-cheeked as always in my Levis today. Darn.
The fabric isn't swishy or slippery. It's a very soft brushed knit, kind of like a cotton t-shirt but much cozier. Or like an Ibex wool t-shirt. Yeah, I guess the closest comparison I can make is that the fabric is like an Ibex mid-weight shirt or boxer."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
