It's so hard to find thicker, higher quality tights these days.  Every department store I seem to go into will have super thin or medium thickness tights.  Nothing like these.  I wasn't sure how thick these would be so I bought a pair, even though I don't need the thickness for my daughter since we live in Southern California.  But it does get cold...low 30s sometimes...and my daughter loves wearing dresses ALL the time.  These are actually warm enough to wear in even our coldest climate changes (but probably won't work in Chicago or New York in the winter).  These are awesome and nothing like the thin tights you find in most stores.  Of course, it's not going to keep your daughter's legs warm in freezing weather or anything but this could even double as a pair of thermos under a pair of pants in extremely cold weather.  They are true to size and definitely worth the money. I'm going to buy more colors!
