What reviewers say

  1. Named the Boreal (men's, $138) and Aurora (women's, $128) its best insulated tights: very warm thanks to the fleece lining, with two zippered leg pockets. The Boreal adds a wind-blocking front panel.

  2. Named the women's counterpart, the Aurora Fleece Tights ($128), its best fleece-lined tight: warm, stretchy and breathable, and it stays up well, though in fewer sizes than its top pick.
