Product Reviews

Version 1 was better  JacobMarx, Addington
Bought 2 pairs of these 18months ago really liked them but zips started to go so decided to get another set. How ever I now find the new Med's are very baggy compared to the old med especially around the ankles. They are also very slippery on the saddle compared to my old ones find myself sliding around often, no such problems with my old pair. Please go back to the old cut/fabric T7 it was a better mix.

Great  WilliamBlakemore, Paekakariki
All the positive reviews are true. So comfortable and warm, didn't want to take them off.

Warm and comfy  AmyP, Auckland
Overall pretty good for the sale price...Warm and comfy and fit really well from the sizing chart. The reflective bits are really good and bright too. A couple of annoying things though - there is no coin/key pocket and they are loose around the ankles so keep riding up. Other than that quite pleased with them!

Pretty good allrounders  LorenChibnall, Hamilton East
These tights are really warm and keep your body temp well regulated in the cold. I am fairly short so they are a good leg fit for me but I can see they would be a problem for taller people. The Route 7 writing does peel off though which is a bit of a bummer really. Overall really good as they keep you warm and look good too!

Good, cheap and warm  GregHormann, Mornington -Dunedin
Really good value for money. Nice and warm, but not too hot either....used them on the Tekapo Run79 race in June this year over the top of my padded chamois cycling pants, and they were great. The waist drawstring is a bit basic, but seems to do the job....but what do u expect for sub-$30 tights?
Sizing according to chart was pretty good too. Thanks T7!

color transfer  LukeBISHOP, Devonport
fit well and warm enough but they transferred color to my white seat on my first ride even after a wash before wearing. Maybe wash three times before wearing if you have a good quality white saddle

Baggy ankles  MattW, Auckland CBD
I'm 5'9" or so, 70kg and the mediums fit well, except the ankles are too loose and baggy.
I have some Route 7 leg warmers, and they are definitely tighter, so would be better if the lower legs were the same cut as the warmers.

Route 7 Full Length Tights  RachelHarris, Christchurch
These are great tights! Not a huge fan of drawstring waists, but they feel very comfy. No problem with the leg length (170cm tall and bought a size small).

Full Length Tights  MichaelK, Canberra
These things are the shizzle. I use these around Canberra for walking/jogging at night (under shorts) and mountain + road riding. Great fit, and the draw string means you can adjust tightness for your activities.

Ok for the price  PeterSnell, East Tamaki
I am 6' and slim. I purchased a medium. Great for the money when on special but I have found they are short and have had to add elastic to the bottom to hold them down. Reflective lettering coming off after using once or twice.

route 7 full length tights  MichaelTapealava, Ravensbourne
This is a great product for the winter riding, once you work up a sweat your really warmed up. The route 7 logos are excellent reflecters for that extra safety.

Very comfy  LaviniaG, Richmond
Wear these commuting - snug as a bug - lovely and warm but not too warm, great fit, reach well past my ankles so no gaps - very happy with them.

Full length tights  KazBerry, Kaiapoi
Very comfortable warm tights. I am 165cm tall, size 8, so purchased the xs size. Great fit but slightly short in length.

Route 7 Full Length Tights  KenLaurie, Hastings
Good product, can use them for running too as they have no 'nappy' in them. Therefore have to wear cycle shorts inside or out for padding. Route 7 reflective lettering came of after first wash - not great, but...hey !

Too Short  RJames, Wellington
I sized up to a medium for length, comfy fit, warm but loose ankles, at least 4 inches too short. $10 courier fee and took 6 days to arrive.

Not Bad  EvanFerguson, Redwood -ChCh
Seem like good tights for the money, but the sizing is too far out to use regularly.

I'm 6'2" 78kgs, skinny legs but most of my height is in my body - Large were a little short (kept riding down at the waist) and the ankles are very loose so sit around mid calf.

Will sit in the draw as a spare, glad I got them on special, may in the future try another size if they come on Special again.

Good Value  TrevorWhiteman, Pakuranga
Probably didn't need XL, L would have been OK.

design has been changed  mikede Jongh, Parklands
I bought some of these last year in XS and they were FANTASTIC loved them so much I was really quick to buy 3 more pair this year - What a disappointment the design has changed! They are about 3-4 inches shorter in the leg, the fit is baggier but the crutch is shorter and the waistband has narrower elastic and a thicker drawstring so not as comfortable. 1 pair had the reflective writing hanging off. I love the fabric but please go back to the original cut and features.

Full length tights  SueBooker, Takanini
Stoked with the leggings I bought them for my daughter who is cycling early on these cold mornings for another layer and she is really pleased thanks. The only small issue is that they could be a bit longer in the length

True to description  SteveSouthall, Birkenhead
Good riding tights - appreciate the zippered ankle. Note that as advertised they don't have a chamois insert. Warm and comfortable for coolish weather.

Great value  MichaelEtheridge, Hamilton North
These will suit for most winter riding but a little light for the real cold days.
I'm 5'11" and they fit great, they looked a bit small out of the packet but stretch very well and length etc is spot on.
Material is comfortable and are also very usefull at the gym under shorts to hide those white winter legs....!
Can't beat them for the price.

Route 7 Full Length Tights  DavidChisholm, Waverley -Dunedin
Good length in legs. Go up a size, normally use XL shorts but needed a XXL in these tights. Back could be a little longer. Good and warm have used in Naseby over the winter OK. Zips are handy. Very good value for the price(on Special).

Route 7 Full Length Tights  PaulineHealy, Palmerston North
These tights are great quality. They fit perfectly and are extremely comfortable to ride in - no rubbing at the knees and are not tight around the waist. Highly recommended.

Quality and comfort  ChrisSullivan, Dunedin
Excellent value for money. Nice and warm for the chilly Dunedin rides, comfy and a good fit. I ordered large for my 5'10" size and they fit perfectly. Superb quick delivery and service as well. Thanks T7.

Full Lingth Tights  GregLineham, Nelson
Got these for my wife - she loves them, very warm and comfy - in fact with the weather warming up they will soon be to hot, but really good for the cold days, biking or walking - used the sizing tool and the fit was spot on.

Route 7 Full Length Tights  KellyJames, Havelock North
Sensational - went out cycling yesterday morning at 6.30 (!) on a brisk Hawkes Bay day and my legs were toasty!!!! Wish I'd bought these sooner.
