How cold do you wear shorts??

Who's down for male capri tights?!

Race = shorts

Otherwise below 30 the tights come out. And I wear shorts over them, I run with a lot of women and I feel like they are always checking out my junk. I'm a happily married man.

First, they are not. Second, Ok and what is the problem if they are?

I used to wear shorts no matter what back when I was in high school and college. Now that I am older, I grab a nice pair of comfortable running pants when it is under 40. I don't wear tights. I've never found them comfortable. But the running pants are quite nice.

Don't worry, we're not checking out your junk.

I wear shorts until it's below freezing unless I'm going for some long slow distance, then I might wear tights if it is below 40.

For real men, tights are an abomination. They look fine on the ladies, though.

And you are in highschool

I will go with shorts over tights if it is pretty windy or below ~40. I'm not the type to just run around in tights.

I could give two craps what a bunch of dicks think I look like either.

And no, I haven't been in high school since the 90s.

I'm guessing people that are talking crap about it are under the age of 20 though, because it's pretty immature.

maybe pants under 10 degrees. I'll wear underwear under my shorts if it's under 30 or so

I am 27, you don't have to care what you look like, but at least know that you look ridiculous. If you were on a team your other teammates would tell you not to wear shorts over your tights.

I am just trying to help the young guys out, If you show up to your first run in the cold weather as a freshman in college with shorts on over your tight you are going to get made fun of.

and deservedly so...

60+ degrees = shorts or half tights

40-60 degrees = half tights

0-40 degrees = full tights

I usually don't care what over people wear - but I'll go full diva and say don't ever wear shorts over tights. What is the point? Do you have a particular fondness for your 1992 middle school basketball team?

I hope you're a chick...60 degrees and it may be too cold for you?!

32 degrees is a general threshold for me, although if it's cloudy or windy I'll wear thin ($20, but great) tights for a handful of degrees higher. I'll almost never wear them 40 degrees or above. Occasionally I'll wear shorts in the high 20's if it is calm and sunny.

I tend to go lighter on the upper body clothing than most people, but I have trouble wearing shorts under 30.

I don't want to pop your little beta male bubble but I could smash half these chicks any given day. The cute emails, the over the top flirting, the looks I know where the freindly line ends bro I've crossed it many times. The problem is i'm a faithful partner and I'm trying to stay that way.

So by wearing shorts over your tights you are staying faithful??

Not following at all.

-60+ - Shorts and no shirt

-50 - 60 - Shorts and t-shirt

-40 - 50 - Shorts, long sleeved shirt and gloves which will be removed at some point

-30 - 40 - Running pants (cross between tights and pants...tapered but not tight), long sleeved shirt, gloves and hat...gloves and hat will be removed mid run

-20 - 30 - Running pants (cross between tights and pants...tapered but not tight), jacket, long sleeved shirt, gloves and hat

-<10 - Running pants (cross between tights and pants...tapered but not tight), jacket, long sleeved shirt with t-shirt over it, gloves, headband and hat

- Extreme minus 0 cold I'll wear another layer of leggings and a balanclava too

My record was -35 with windchill...

In Texas you can wear shorts year round.

I have run in shorts even in single digit temperatures and it really has not bothered me as long as I have an extra pair of underwear on. But once the temperature is below freezing almost everyone I run past tells me I must be freezing or something similar so if it's below 30 I generally put on long pants.

FL, it gets cold enough for tights mid-January through mid-March. The rest of the time we are good with shorts.

whats a real man again?

I wear shorts for runs as cold as -10°F.

Of course when it gets below 45°F, I'm smart enough to put a pair of sweat pants on over them.

As far as tights, they are really just glorified long underwear and I don't see anybody wearing those without shorts or pants on the outside.

(except this guy)
