    Looking for a second pair of tights and I can't decide between the two:
    http://www.runningwarehouse.com/Sugoi_Wom_SubZero_Zap_Tight_Black_MD/descpage-SWSBZT3.html

    The one above is $100

    http://www.runningwarehouse.com/The_North_Face_Womens_Winter_Warm_Tight/descpage-NFWWWT.html

    These are $85

     

    I personally really like the Sugoi ones but I like the pricetag on the North Face ones...... help me!

      I have a lot of Sugoi stuff and it's really great quality. I'm also bias because it's a Canadian company. But yeah, the price is high. Can't you get some sort of discount on your Thanksgiving black Friday? It's like in a week or two?

        Hmmm... it is on the RunningWarehouse site, do they do Black Friday sells? I've never paid attention and I do not go shopping on Black Friday.

              Buy them both and try them on to see which ones you like better. I had my heart set on some CW-X tights and bought them and the fit was TERRIBLE.  I have some sugoi shorts that I really like.

              I think runblog10 code still works for 10% off.

                I have Sugoi sub-zero tights, and they're really good.  My butt gets all kinds of frigid when it's cold out, and the tights help.  Doesn't fix the problem, but it helps.  If you're not prone to getting really cold, though, the Sugois may be overkill.

                When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run.  The only thing that matters is how we have loved.

                  I'll wait (try to wait) until we get closer to Black Friday, see if they have any sells on those particular tights.

                    My butt/legs get pretty numb and icy cold and I am more concerned about frostbite and stuff and comfort....

                      Then yeah, you'll want to spring for the Sugois.  FWIW, they also hold up really well -- my oldest ones are a few years old, with weekly washing, and I also throw them in the dryer.  They were just beginning to show signs of falling apart when I sort of fell apart myself and quit running.

                      When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run.  The only thing that matters is how we have loved.

                        The Sugoi warehouse sale is coming up, but I guess it doesn't help if you're not in Van. Should I go line up for you?

                          FWIW Amazon has the Sugois for 86.99

                           

                          I have no feedback on this as I'm typically a "hot" runner and get by with Nike DriFits down to about 20 degrees.  NYC rarely gets too much colder than that.

                            I have the sub-zero and the mid-zero Sugois. They're alright.  Honestly I can't tell much difference between the two except the sub zeros seem slightly longer (the mid-zeros leave my ankles exposed).  I like my Lululemon Runder Pants the best but they don't sell them any more and they really aren't very warm.

                                I have the SubZero tights, tried them on and liked the fit but haven't actually used them yet - they feel warmer than my other tights though. I got them for $67.99 on Amazon, check there!
