FAQs
Are these tights suitable for cold weather running?
These Karrimor Run Tights are primarily designed with breathability in mind, making them ideal for warmer weather or indoor training. For very cold conditions, you may need to layer them with warmer base layers or opt for insulated running tights.
Do these tights have any pockets?
No, these tights are designed for a sleek and minimalist profile and do not feature any pockets. For carrying essentials, we recommend using a running belt or a jacket with secure pockets.
What is the fabric composition of these tights?
The Karrimor Run Tights are made from a blend of 76% polyester and 24% elastane, providing both durability and excellent stretch for freedom of movement.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
This particular pair is a UK Size 16. For future purchases, we recommend consulting Karrimor's official sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for waist, hips, and inseam to help you find your best fit. The elastane content does offer some stretch.
Can I wear these tights for activities other than running?
Absolutely! Thanks to their flexibility, breathability, and comfortable fit, these tights are also great for gym workouts, yoga, Pilates, and general fitness activities where movement and comfort are key.
How should I wash these tights to maintain their quality?
Machine wash them on a cold cycle with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Crucially, do not use fabric softeners or bleach, and avoid ironing. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat to preserve the fabric's integrity and moisture-wicking properties.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel too tight or uncomfortable during wear.
Ensure you have selected the correct size (these are UK 16). While designed for a tight fit, they should not feel restrictive to movement or cause discomfort. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or style. The material will conform slightly after a few wears.
The material seems less breathable or less effective at wicking moisture after washing.
This often occurs due to fabric softener residue. Always avoid using fabric softeners when washing athletic wear. Ensure you are washing on a cold cycle with a mild detergent and air drying or tumble drying on low heat. A re-wash without softener might help restore performance.
Waistband rolls down or sags during exercise.
The elasticated waistband is designed to stay up. Ensure the tights are pulled up fully and sitting at your natural waist. If the issue persists, your body shape might require a different rise or a waistband with a wider band. While these are UK 16, individual fit can vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Karrimor Run Tights is straightforward:

- Yoga & Pilates: The flexible material allows for all poses and stretches.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Karrimor Run Tights:
- Washing: Machine washable. For best results, wash with similar colors on a cold cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's integrity and breathability.
- Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners. They can clog the fabric fibers, reducing its moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, tumble dry on low heat. High heat can damage the elastane and affect the fit.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The polyester/elastane blend is designed to be wrinkle-resistant.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
