What I Say:
Waiting until February to post a review on winter related apparel
may not make the most effective marketing strategy and for that I offer my
apologies to my friends at Saucony who in the fall provided me with a pair of Nomad Pant and the Tech Training Pant. But I am hopeful folks are still considering
winter related purchases and, if not, will read this review next fall when they
are considering their options.
Okay, there are often few additions to a runner’s gear that
impacts the joy of running more than a really decent pair of shoes, the Saucony
Kinvara being my favorite. But accessing the Nomad Pant and the Tech Training Pant have resulted in a similar feeling of joy. These two pants have done so
much to not only enhance my joy of each run by adding warmth and comfort but have
more generally provided the motivation to increase my winter time runs by
allowing me to run in lower temps than I have in prior seasons.
I truly love both of these options. Honestly, the
similarities are so great that I am unable to distinguish the two from one
another and therefore rate both as wonderful solutions for winter runs. They
both provide wind break protection and are lined for warmth. And neither
produces a buildup of sweat even when temps climb during a run. The elastic in
the waist band is snug allowing me to ignore the drawstring ties. Each has a small
pocket for storage of a key or gel or two. The Nomad includes a small pocket in
the back which I like to store my house key.
Pants are pants? My experience with the Saucony Nomad Pant and the
Tech Training Pant has proven this to be untrue. I have permanently stored my
sweats and other running pants. The Nomad Pant and the Tech Training Pant are just a wonderful solution. One that makes this runner enjoy each run
more with warmth and comfort and also enjoys challenging myself in colder
temps. Highly recommend!
