Description
The Women’s ¾ Tights have been designed for those relaxed rides when you want the support and performance of tights but don’t want the inconvenience of bib shorts. The tights are made from a comfortable, high-stretch Fabric, with extra length in the leg for a flattering look. The front of the shorts have a v-shaped waistband so they won’t dig in and a high-rise back to ensure an excellent fit in the riding position. Flatlock stitching throughout guarantees the tights won’t chafe, while the legs are held securely in place by soft gripper elastic. The tights also feature a signature polka dot tab and a tonal, gloss Rapha logo. Reflective details on back of the legs ensure visibility in low light.
Reviews: "The nylon/elastine blend of the fabric is luxuriously soft on the skin. It is thinner than most competitors’ three-quarter tights, which means riders won’t overheat when wearing them on mild-to-warm days. The flat-lock stitching provides a nice, chaff-free finish too."

Just Right
I am not a fan of knee warmers, but I like to have my knees covered in cool weather and sometimes when it is warm. I wanted non-bib knickers that were made for multiple seasons. I tried and returned several other brands that would not stay up at the waist or stay put on the legs or had poor chamois. After taking the plunge and ordering the Rapha 3/4 tights, I knew right away they were perfect. The chamois stays put. No chafing. The rise is perfect for completely covering my biker backside in any riding position. The length is flattering for my not so young legs. Everything stays put. I am a curvy 5' 4" and 135 lb. Medium fits perfectly.

Classic Look as Usual!
The 3rd 3/4 tights and got the blue for matching the classic blue jersey. Soft and comfy fabric. Size runs OK.
Compared with all my 3/4 tights and found that the back of the Rapha 3/4 tights are extremely too high, almost reached to half of my back. The length of the tights is also too long that can be reached to my lower shanks.
Surprised and a bit disappointed with the workmanship that this tights is Made in Italy. Position of the pad slightly shifted sewn and the stitches came off a bit on both sides of the thigh.
Black - the best
Navy - so so
Slate Grey (Discontinued) - the worst

So flattering
Brought one pair and was so impressed that order a second as they're so flattering and justified it with the temp drop and length of our winters. I'm a medium, so find short leg knicks aren't terribly flattering but the 3/4's look amazing. I heard that the chamois was bulky and gets sweaty after long periods in the saddle but have a pair of 3/4 Assos which are even bulkier and still love them as happy bum, happy Mum also I love getting outside but I hate being cold. Another thing the lycra in the Rapha Tights is buttery smooth like Lululemon yoga leggings, they feel amazing.

Love the higher waist
I had a hard time deciding between sizes, but based on my experience with the classic shorts having a low waistband, sized up. The waist on the 3/4 tights seems higher than the classic shorts, so I'm thinking I could have gone with the smaller size. At any rate, the fit is good--no cold lower back or tummy. Chamois seems the same as my classic bibs. Fabric seems a little thinner, but this might be a good thing as it will extend the range of when I can wear these tights. Overall very happy with this purchase.

Fabulous!
Fabulous fabric with plenty of stretch - texture and colour are classy and a little more special in navy. The fabric feels so nice next to the skin I think they would be very comfortable for a long ride - will update this once I have put them to the test! Gives a streamlined look for a size 14/16 - I tried XL and had to size down to L - even better!

Expensive, but a lovely treat.
Despite normally being a medium, I went for small in these after reading the reviews. ( I'm normally a 10/12). They fit nicely and the fabric is lovely, if a bit delicate. I first wore them on my first ride with a new saddle ( Specialized Oura pro ) and the pad rubbed on the somewhat exposed areas of the rough carbon rails, which led to a little fluffing of the fabric, which upset me a bit, but that was the saddle's fault... always road test a new saddle with some old tights! (Some electrical tape over the saddle rails was the answer.) Super nice tights to wear.

Light Weight and Great Fit
These 3/4 tights are silky soft and lighter weight than my full-length Rapha padded tights for winter rides. These tights in size XS fit perfectly where the full-length tights are better in size S. The 3/4 tights are great for a spring day ride and for transitioning into summer. The seaming is elegant and flattering. I love the subtle labeling. Classy!

Great fit!
Same fabric as classic shorts. Comfy. No problems. Highly recommend.

I'm only 5'1". Will these knickers will be too long for me? I like them to hit about mid-calf...if any longer, then they look like tights that are a little too short. Also, the women's classic short fits well in XS so should I order XS or XXS?
The XXS inseam is 49 cm and the XS inseam is 50 cm. I think they would hit above the ankle depending on the length of your legs. I would think an XS in the 3/4 Tight would fit well if you wear an XS in the Women's Classic Short.
As always, you can purchase both sizes and return one within 30 days with our free returns policy, which you can read here: https://www.rapha.cc/us/en_US/returns.

Hi, Are these tights appropriate for warm weather? Thanks!
These Tights are appropriate for warm weather rides as are made of a lightweight stretch-fabric and not the fleece backed version used in our Winter Tights.

I'm between sizes - go up or down? I.e. Waist 31 length 27 .
Hi, we suggest that you try the size down, medium in your case. We do have a free 90 return policy if you need to exchange.

Are theses tights padded or are they to be worn in addition with bib shorts?
Hi, They do have a High-grade Cytech pad as listed on the webpage so no need to wear bib shorts underneath.
Date published: 2017-03-01
I fall between an XS and S. Should I purchase the XS? I have the shorts in small and the legs ride up just a bit.
Hi, we would suggest you try the XS. We do have a 90 day free returns period so if they do not suit you can of course return them for exchange.
