Mello Tight
$59.99 $74.99
Mello Tights are built for long days outdoors — the kind where you’re lunging up ridges, squeezing past boulders, or scrambling high on crags. Supportive, soft and shaped for comfort, they stretch with you and stay put—wherever your adventure leads.
Go Far. Feel Free.

Made to Move, Built to Last
From big hikes and hill days to airy ridge scrambles and surprise detours through the undergrowth, Mello Tights are made to handle it. The four-way stretch fabric gives full freedom of movement and a “barely-there” feel — whether you're lunging for a hold or hiking hard uphill.
They’re high-wicking and quick-drying, so you stay comfortable in changing weather or high-output effort. And the tailored fit hugs without compressing, holding shape and staying up without a fight.
Thoughtful Where It Matters
The deep waistband sits high for coverage and comfort under packs or harnesses, and the fully opaque fabric means no see-through surprises when you’re crouching, climbing, or stretching post-walk. They're also tougher than they look — the soft nylon knit resists scuffs, snags and the odd bramble ambush.
Tried, Tested, Trail Trusted
“The fabric is very stretchy, soft and light, and fits a more muscular build well. The length is perfect for me… high waistband is comfortable under a harness.” – Kirsty Pallas, The Great Outdoors review
“They’re a durable and hard‑wearing pair of leggings that have a great price tag and size range.” – Kirsty Pallas, The Great Outdoors
Lower Impact by Design
Made by sweat-shop free factories with practical, long-lasting fabric and minimal trims, Mello Tights are built to last—and repaired or recycled through our Continuum scheme when their journey ends.
