A drawer full of running gear and you keep reaching for the same tried-and-true pieces; meet your next all-time favorite, the Women's Rapid Run Knee Tight from Columbia Sportswear. This rock solid running pant has all the performance features youd expect: gusseted crotch, elastic waistband, internal drawcord, flatlock seams and an internal tuck pocket for a credit card or key. Stretch mesh at the back of the knee gives you that cooling sensation that can ease a little bit of the pain during a grueling 8-mile tempo run. Reflective hits along the side of the legs mean you can safely endure your workout before dawn and bask in the endorphin-afterglow for the rest of the day.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Columbia Rapid Run Knee Tight for Women is available through Altrec.com.

Gets the job done
I generally like to wear capris to run in, and when I needed a new pair, I bought these on sale. Honestly, they're not my favorite, but they'll stay in my "workout capri rotation" until I get something better. I think the main problem is that they're really big. I normally wear a Large, and these are really long--it just feels like there's a lot of extra fabric. I'm 5'4" and I can pull them up past my belly button, and I could, in theory, pull them down almost to my mid-calf (and this is after washing and drying them). I prefer my capris to hit just below the knee, and luckily the bottoms of the legs are tight enough so that I can scrunch them up to where I want them and they stay there during my workout. I might have a better review if I had sized down, because overall I like the pants and they seem durable and high quality, but even then I think they'd be too long. They're comfortable to run in though because they don't bother me while I'm actually moving around.

good quality but fit for slimmer legs
These tights are great. The midweight fabric is sturdy, stretchy and soft except for the mesh vent at the calf. My calf muscles are well developed and I found the fit in the lower leg to be somewhat small and uncomfortable. For simmer legs, I highly recommend these tights.
