I have now ridden in these tights a few times. They have guts without being restrictive and are definitely not flimsy. The sticky bum provides security when riding my big moving Friesian X and the rise is perfect for me. I am over 50, just under 52 and have the standard soft middle and these tights are great. To assist others, I measure 33 waist and 38 hips following the measuring guide which is size 14 but have purchased size 12 and they are still comfortable and I dont feel the need to remove them as soon as I finish riding (even on a hot day). The size 14 would have been even more comfortable. I may have added to my collection ??. Stick with the size chart and you cant go wrong. Cant wait to try the breeches at my next comp.
