Under Armour Wind Stopper Tights Review

Easy to adjust the waist tie. No complaints. See on AMAZON HERE Gore Windstopper tights by Under Armour Review

Under Armour Winter Running Tights Intro
I just got some new winter running tights with reflective panels and Gore WindPro lining for water and wind resistance. I’m hoping to be able to run in these along the Wasatch Front of Utah (Utah and Salt Lake Counties) in temperatures between 10 and 40 F. They’re compression fit, but I got them a little large since I don’t like that squeeze feeling. More in the video. Under Armour Winter Running Tights Video Intro
