The upcoming Fall 2023 Patagonia Maipo 7/8 Stash Tights are designed for comfort and mobility.
Editor’s note – these are the upcoming Fall 2023 version (and are not out yet at the time of this review) Kate has been testing these out so you can put these on your wish list!

I typically wear a size medium in tights and base layers, so I was surprised when the size small was recommended to me. When they arrived, my skepticism remained; they looked impossibly small. As I held them up, I looked at the waist and sighed that I would never be able to fit into them.

Gamely, I tried them on and was pleasantly surprised that the Patagonia Maipo ⅞ Stash Tights actually fit. Not only did they fit, but they were not constrictive as I feared. In fact, they were wonderfully soft and comfortable.
It’s just too cold outside to wear them right now, but I like wearing them for indoor workouts and on my indoor bike trainer.

The amazingly light fabric makes you feel like you’re not wearing anything. They move easily with even the most extreme body stretches and stay in place. Also, the HeiQ® Pure odor control keeps the funk at bay during tougher workouts.
As with all things Patagonia, there is more than meets the eye.
While the Patagonia Maipo ⅞ Stash Tights appear thin and small on the hanger, the thoughtfully included features include a wide waist band (no muffin tops here!), two deep stash pockets along the sides, and flatlock seams to prevent chafing. I also found that the ⅞ length was just right (no turning up cuffs as I have often done).
I suggest the Patagonia Maipo ⅞ Stash Tights for indoor workouts, jogging, and easy hikes in warmer weather.
Constructed from 80 percent recycled nylon and 20 percent spandex knit, the Patagonia Maipo ⅞ Stash Tights are available in a wide array of sizes (XXS to XXL) to fit all body types.
