The Patagonia Women's Speedwork Tights. The wind-resistant Speedwork Tights, made of a stretchy nylon/polyester/spandex double-knit blend, provide great coverage and the strategically placed quick-dry mesh panel behind each knee increases breathability.

I normally love Patagonia but these pants are going back for fit. Calves are too loose, but legs are too short. Waist/Hips/Thighs ok but seems like would loosen up and stretch out after just one run. Knee vents don't sit behind knees. Main problem is the lack of flat-lock seams and gusset, and scratchy insides which prevent these from being used next to skin. I liked the idea of windblocking but will go back to the Icebreakers.
