Amazing half tights

Used these for Chester marathon and they were great for storing enough gels for the race. The key clip in the rear pocket is really handy too. They felt great on, with no sagging after 26 miles and kept everything in place too! Fabulous product. I’ve ordered the full length tights now we’re getting into winter running season.

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! Great to hear the half tights kept your gels secure and stayed comfortable all the way through the Chester Marathon. Hope you love the full-length tights for your winter runs too! They will be shipping very shortly. Keep on getting it done 👍

Thumbs up for the half tights!👍

I wore my new half tights for the Great Eastern Half Marathon this Sunday, just a couple of days after receiving them. They were so comfortable and offered a noticeable amount of compression as well. I can't see myself wearing anything else for the foreseeable future.

Hi Stewart, we're thrilled to hear you loved the half tights and that they performed so well during your half marathon! Congratulations on your race. 👏 Thanks for sharing your experience. Keep on getting it done! 👍

Comfy, practical and looks great!

Material is super comfy, no chafing, and pockets were so handy for things like gels etc! Just beat my half marathon by 13mins wearing these (with my BenParkes socks!), would recommend for any distance/speed, felt snug and is a replacement for my running belt

Hi Peter, we're thrilled to hear you are enjoying the new half tights and that they helped in your race. Amazing to get such a huge PB... Congratulations!! Keep on getting it done! 👍

So happy

What a buy! Perfect fit, so useful with all the pockets, and superb quality. Can’t wait to train and race in them as I build up to the Barcelona Marathon. Thanks team!

Thanks so much, Charley! We’re thrilled you love the fit, pockets, and quality. Best of luck with your training and the Barcelona Marathon, you'll be amazing. Keep on getting it done! 👍

Damon L (GB)
Superb!

Love the fabric - the ribbed soft fabric is much nicer feel than the typical spandex type compression fabrics in many shorts.
Fit is also great and while tight they are not super tight compression fit. Stay put 100% and you dont notice them at all on the run.
Then the pockets - finally a pocket setup that ticks all the boxes. 2 legs big enough for a phone or gels/gloves etc, and the rear waistband pockets with zips and the key clip. Brilliant.
Hoping you do a full tight version with the same details.

Thanks so much, Damon! We’re thrilled you love the soft ribbed fabric, comfortable fit, and pocket setup. Great to hear they stay put and feel barely noticeable on your runs. Our new full length tights are about to launch very soon. Keep on getting it done 👍

Excellent Marathon Half Tights

Finally, half tights with enough secure gel storage for a marathon! Excellent quality, easy zips. Had to size up, but will be wearing these for my next marathon in 3 weeks, along with my Ben Parkes x Soar vest. Highly recommended.

Hi Ross, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with your half tights and that they'll be joining you on your upcoming marathon! Glad we could get the right size to you in the end. Wishing you the best of luck in your race. Keep on getting it done 👍

I am absolutely thrilled about these shorts as they are the final missing part of my Ben Parkes raceday kit. Comfortable, somewhat light and with plenty of space for gels. Absolutely love them since the first run.

Hi Michael, we're so glad to hear you love the new half tights and that they complete your race day kit! We wish you many happy races in them coming up!! Keep on getting it done! 👍

Quality Half Tights

Impressed with the design and comfort of these excellent half tights. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into this product. A lovely ribbed material which is very comfortable with excellent storage in both leg sleeves and 2 zip pockets at the back. Would love to see an option with a kangaroo pouch all around the waist band or at the front for drinks and gels storage. Love the navy colour. Recommend the product 👍🏼

Hi Mark, thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you love the design and comfort of our new half tights. Your suggestion for a kangaroo pouch is appreciated and we'll consider it for future designs. Enjoy your runs in navy! Keep on getting it done! 👍

Great quality, good fit.

Never bought half tights before, because I never like the feel, the pockets, etc. Decided to give these a go, and I love them, to the point that after buying the navy version, I also bought the black version straight after. I really like the material, and the pockets, especially the one at the back. I bought a t-shirts and a singlet in the past, and also liked those. I might have to give the socks a try too soon. Well done Ben and Sarah!!

Hi Ivan, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you love the half tights and have enjoyed our other products too. Can't wait for you to try the socks next! Thanks for your support and kind words. Keep on getting it done! 👍

I look forward to more colour ways in the future!

Great fit, great quality

I shop around and have to say these are very comfortable compared with typical brands out there. Just right for the cooler mornings and pockets where you need them.

Hi Lee, we're thrilled to hear you love the fit and quality of the new half tights! Thanks for sharing your positive experience and enjoy those colder morning runs! Keep on getting it done! 👍

Great

I think these half tights are great. Zipped pockets are a must have, I don't understand why many brands skip on zips.
Length is perfect.
Phone is well secured into leg pocket. Just I would suggest facing acre outward because heatbody will wet your screen
The price is correct considering the touches that big brands don't put
Wearing small like the normal short. Not too tight.
A minus, that doesnt impact on my vote: I would have like the mesh pocket like in the short in the back.

Thank you for your detailed and positive review! We're glad you love the design and features of the new half tights. Your suggestion about the mesh pocket is noted, and we appreciate your feedback as always. Wishing you many more happy runs in the tights. Keep on getting it done! 👍

Comfortable Half Tights

Really good quality, very comfortable with useful pockets for your phone, gels and keys. A really nice design and I’d say true to size. Testing them in my local half marathon.

Hi Michael, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the new half tights! Wishing you an amazing time in your half marathon coming up. Let us now how you get on!! Keep on getting it done 👍

Designed by runners for runners

Quality out of the packet felt better than anything I’ve worn to date. Usually I opt to protect my dignity, by wearing shorts over tights, but there is support and coverage to ensure you’re not sharing too much! Really comfortable, highly supportive and in no way constricting. I will be getting more of these, as well as the longer version now winter is around the corner.

Hi Peter, thank you so much for your fantastic review! Great to hear how well the new half tights are working for you. Wishing you many more happy and fun runs in them! Keep on getting it done 👍
