Unless you're seriously packing, most runners have far too linear a profile to look good in half tights. Save it for race day.
Does wifey know you be checkin out men's packages?

Did you not have leg hair or you shave it? I never understand how people run in loose fitting pants and still have any leg hair left, doesnt it chafe and pull the hair? I am legit curious. I only run in shorts or full tights in the winter.
Ha interesting. I've never experienced or heard of that.

If I could find black, drawstring, 9-inch half tights under 45$, that don't cut the blood supply off my normal sized ****, that aren't so thin you see the outline of my ****, I'd buy 5 pairs and throw away my running shorts.
As yet, they don't exist.
No offense dude but I'm not wearing those, they look like sh*t and don't have a drawstring. Bezos can keep his pantyhose to himself.
i look freaking good in tights
i might look good in short shorts too, but i generally have some absurd contrast tanlines
Shirtless with halftights is a bad look.
Running shorts double as a swim trunks
I don't care how fast he runs, this is the most asinine look ever, king of the dorks:

I made the mistake of running a full with short tights once.
Once.
Horrible chafing.

The one thing properly-fitting tights do is prevent chafing.
Not once you start sweating.

Dork but both of them look good in their half tights. Peel the sleeves off and he'd be looking just fine.
My an us and penile area bother me if I wear anthing but a way too big skirt... but I wear Scottish looking socks and play bag pipe music from a small speaker so people think it's a kilt, but it's really a women's skirt... but the socks and music fools everyone so I keep my street cred.... anyway my an us and penile area thanks me for it repeatedly at night....
It also makes peeing much easier.... Texas catheter endorser as welll
Perhaps because we don´t want to look like women.

If this is your concern I suspect you have more to consider than half tights vs shorts...
Shorts are way better than tights. I love feeling the breeze and staying cooler wearing shorts.
> 45 F: Shorts
32-45 F: Half tights
< 32 F: Tights
I like tights for a little extra warmth when needed, but if I can wear shorts then that's what I want to do.

He's landing waaay in front of his center of gravity. He'll never get anywhere till he learns proper footstrike.
A few years ago there was a post that explained that many of the top Kenyan runners prefer half tights. When asked why they rarely wore them in races, they explained their clothing sponsors only gave them shorts as part of their kit. That has changed and more top athletes are wearing half tights in competition.
Half tights are best if you are only running and running fast. If you are socializing or doing something else pre and post run half tights are less functional. Its just not socially acceptable for men to walk around in a store wearing tights. Standing around in half tights during the recovery phase of an interval workout can be concerning, especially in mixed company. Same with lingering at aid stations in ultras. If you run fast enough no one will have time to be able to see anything outlined under half tights.
Some people just do not have the shape to look good in half tights. Semi loose fitting clothing, including regular running shorts, can hide things. Clothing can be sexier than nudity.
For men running in the cold, shorts provide extra dead air space down their to protect their units.
Sh********T ... I wear my half tights to work half the time

Too many people are obsessed with "feeling" light and fast. It's all psychological.
Why shouldn't people wear what makes them feel fast? A psychological edge is a real edge.

Ha! I absolutely can't imagine doing that myself, but then, it was only very recently that I gave up the necktie at work.
Years ago I had a couple pairs of half-tights that were made with a thicker, soft, fleece-like material. They were very comfortable for training and racing in cool weather.
Now I train in $5 cotton drawstring shorts from Wal-Mart, with boxer briefs underneath. In cold weather, I wear $9 cotton sweatpants. Comfortable enough, and suits my pace.
