OMG ive been running with other brand leggings BUT....now they sit in my draw and I wear these in freezing cold or on a nice day 10 degrees. Great breathability and all over regulation. I havent worn in summer but thats not why I bought them. I run mountains and in rain. Yep I wore these in rain and inside was nearly dry...unbelievable. I felt like a wooly sheep but without the bulky wool....majic.

Have 2 pairs now best purchase ever use them for running on those really cold mornings & used them in the snow kept me toasty and warm highly recommend

This is my 2nd pair. I don't see myself as a leggings bloke so wear shorts over them. Perfect for recovery, camping, bush walking and around the house. Woll on the skin works for me.

Big fan!!! I bought these to wear while snowboarding. I’m finding that I’m a little more sensitive to the cold the older I get. I’ve got a few other pairs of compression tights, but find I get cold in them if the temps drop below -5c. While the compression isn’t quite as good as my other compression tights, these are definitely the warmest and equally as comfortable. Will be buying a couple more pairs before my next Japan trip.

Possibly the best thing I’ve ever done to my legs is put these leggings on!

I’m relatively new to compression garments but a long time user of Merino wool and I am very pleased with the way these tights combine the advantages of both. I’m a cyclist and am most impressed by the quality of these. On cooler days I wear these over liner shorts with either a long bike-friendly pant or shorts over the tights. They appear to be very durable and offer very good compression which effectively reduces soreness and recovery time. As a cyclist in my mid-60s I appreciate them as an excellent investment.

I have been a long time wearer of compression gear from the start of skins onwards. I need them more and more for sore knees and back but discomfort is always a factor. My new Merinos are fantastic as they are so much more comfortable without any loss of support. I will find it hard to take them off this winter and am already thinking about a second pair!

I primarily wear tights to help support a knee issue, plus the benefits of compression are real, most of my tights are spandex / lycra (shiny) or polyamide / elastane which is cloth-like.
I needed something warmer, but not "long-john's" because I don't wear baggies or shorts over them. I use an inner comp short. Finished Wool tights for guys are hard to find.. most are made like underwear.
Be very carefully putting these on, I tore mine in the calf area, however I was able to repair it.
Since we are having a mild winter, I have had these out for my morning 6 mile trail runs in 33 - 37 degrees and felt comfortable in them. They handle the sweat by pulling it away and evaporating, even better than my polyamide Ruhn tights and it doesn’t soak it up like spandex or lycra. I recently ran them 25 miles in the forest with a temp range of 35 - 50 and I hardly noticed they were there. Did not have to adjust or pull them up, they just become part of you. Compression is just right, not rubber band like 2XU, and not flat like UA. For hard climbs and steep descents and everything in between I was impressed with the fit and performance.
My issues are:
The waist band - Even though it wasn't a real problem, it just doesn't look finished, it should look like outer-wear.
No pockets- An outside patch pocket or inner key pocket would be great.
Overall:
My goal was warmth and compression and these IO hit the mark. Aside from minor details, they are great performance wear for a relatively light garment.
I am a lot rougher on my other tights and never had a tear or problem, so the durability is in question. Since there is little or no competition in this category: Mens Wool compression tights, Im inclined to give them 5 stars.

I have worn my compression leggings a few times since they arrived and have been very impressed. Just the right balance between compression and comfort. (Not to mention a great local company)

the compression pants are absolutely fantastic. On cold mornings for cycling they keep you warm and don't allow the sweat to make you cold when you stop. They don't stink either. Great fit.
You also don't get too hot.

The weather here has been pretty varied lately. I wore these on three different runs this past week: One (14KM) high humidity at 50 degrees, one (10km) at 40 degrees, and one () in 31 degrees. These were comfortable at all three temps, and I barely even noticed I was wearing them. I'm comparing them to a pair of Under Armor leggings that don't do as well at the upper or lower range of those temps. Very pleased with these and I'll definitely be getting at least one backup pair.

I do wish there was a lighter color choice (like some of the other leggings come in gray). Fully black leggings without much in the way of reflective markings are a safety issue running at night. While I can just wear a light colored shirt and shorts, ideally I could also grab a different pair of leggings if the shirt I'm wearing is dark. That said, the black really looks fantastic, sooo ...

I was looking for compression tights that were suitable for cold temperatures and preferably made of natural fibres. These are perfect! The merino is the best quality I've worn and the synthetic mix provides good compression and durability. They fit well and feel so comfortable. I won't be wearing pure synthetics again. ioMerino is a highly ethical business and I love to support them.

I also have pair of IceBreaker leggings, and there is simply no comparison. The ioMerinos actually fit, they don't ride down when running, and they don't threaten to tear when I put them on. And they feel better.
I'll still keep my Skins though.

Arrived on time. Fit like a glove. Feel good on. Warm as toast. Doing the job I bought them for. All 5 boxes ticked. That's a 5 star rating. I'd give you 6 Stars if we had a colour choice.

I absolutely love my Altitude zip top and compression leggings and wore it them a second skin on the 34 hours travel to Halifax Canada and then in the -13 degrees over Christmas,
Boston and New York were not as cold but the garments seemed to adjust accordingly,
Fantastic and shared my pleasure with some fellow Aussies whilst OS
