----------------Note - it SUGGESTS for undergarments and SHIRTINGS. Yes, it's lightweight, but the version I use is no where near lingerie weight. Polartec makes a slew of different PowerDry fabrics. Each one is a little different. I actually ordered swatches and samples of the different types of PowerDry to figure out if any would work for riding tights. Most wouldn't have worked due to them being too thin. But one of them turned out to be just perfect for summer weight riding tights. I've done A LOT of demo testing fabrics for riding gear over the years. This stuff really is the best performing and yet most practical thickness for summer weight riding tights. Everyone feels a little different about fabrics and what's comfortable for them. Some people want thicker materials because they like the feeling of being "held in". But most of the folks who've ordered these, whether they like the "held in" feeling or not have been very happy with how they fit and feel on. Dawn Bruin-Slot, northern Michigan Fuzzy Logic Equine
