Bjorn Borg Studio Workout Women's Tights

This is Björn Borg's full-length women's training tight from the Studio line — close and compressive down the leg, cut for gym and studio work rather than technical running. Fair weather or foul, Perugia gets seen first, and one stop is below the street.

Perugia, Italy

Stop one

the Etruscan Arch, huge blocks laid dry beneath a later loggia

Bjorn Borg Studio Workout Women's Tights: Arrr, these tights stand before the Etruscan Arch, where great stone blocks were laid dry as if the builders distrusted mortar as much as I distrust landlocked towns. That later loggia perched above it looks like a captain’s balcony for a ship that forgot the sea.

Stop two

the Fontana Maggiore, twenty-five carved panels around its lower basin

Bjorn Borg Studio Workout Women's Tights: By the Fontana Maggiore, I count twenty-five carved panels around the lower basin, and not one of them tells me where the tide is. Fine craft, though—enough stone storytelling to keep a sailor occupied for half a day at sea.

Stop three

the Palazzo dei Priori, bronze griffin bolted above the fan staircase

Bjorn Borg Studio Workout Women's Tights: There’s a bronze griffin bolted above the Palazzo dei Priori’s fan staircase, guarding the place like a quartermaster with trust issues. I’d salute it, but any beast that high and dry has clearly never hauled rope in a squall.

04

Stop four

the Rocca Paolina, buried streets of a papal fortress underfoot

Bjorn Borg Studio Workout Women's Tights: Down in the Rocca Paolina, the old streets lie buried under a papal fortress, which is about as cheery as storing a dinghy in a cellar. Built for Pope Paul III after Perugia’s rebellion, it still feels like three days below deck without a breeze.

Bjorn Borg Studio Workout Women's Tights

Written for this world alone.

I have been at sea long enough to know when somebody is guessing, so I will not do it to you. These are the Studio workout tights: Björn Borg's full-length women's training tight, from the Studio collection, which is the brand's own line for gym and studio work rather than for technical running.

The fit is close and compressive through the leg — that is what the garment is for — and the fabric is a quick-drying knit that moves sweat off the skin rather than holding it against you. That much is plain and that much I will stand behind.

Björn Borg publishes a full composition on their own listing for each colourway of each garment, and I do not have that page in front of me for this one, so I am not going to invent percentages to fill the space. What I can tell you is the shape of the thing and what it is honestly for.

What I will not do is read you a fibre breakdown I have not seen.

It is a training tight, not a compression medical garment and not a weather layer. If you want something to keep the wind out on a January road, that is a different item in the range, and any chandler who tells you otherwise is selling you rope for an anchor chain.

It has no membrane, no fleece backing and no claim to either.

You will get use out of these everywhere from an indoor session on a wet day to a warm-up on a court back home in the spring, and by the way, they are also perfect for a long climb through Perugia, which is a town built on a hill and then partly buried. The Etruscan Arch is huge blocks laid dry, no mortar, under a later loggia.

The Fontana Maggiore carries twenty-five carved panels around its lower basin. And under your feet at the Rocca Paolina lie the buried streets of a papal fortress — a whole district roofed over and walked through underground, which is the strangest deck I have ever crossed, and I have crossed a few.

"A whole street with a roof built over it, still walkable. Below decks, and the town above has forgotten it is there."
