I too have monster calves but have never needed tights so haven't had an issue...but good to be aware of. I am short so it is hard to up a size in order to fit the calves in...the rest of the seams seem to be all out of preportion

I have looked at the firewalls....looks like a good tight!

Has anyone tried the Performance Illuminite warmers? Hey TrekHawk...how are those illuminite pants working for you?

Any tips on jackets are welcome too...already got yours cali

Thanks...off to TE sale site!

OHOH...Denise...post your winter clothing guide post again...can't seem to find it (looked in the search but i must be missing it...sorry)
