Oh, buuuuuuuuuurn.
How about 0:18.07 for the 100m up a hill?
I just want them for my longer runs though. Full black tights for sprints!
From a performance perspective, they're perfect: covers up the knee and no one ever feels cold on their shins so why bother with full tight. Thing is only they look really really girly-ish when you're just jogging along. If you go fast you can get away with anything.
Don't snicker at the knickers!
Some call 'em knickers, some call 'em manpris. I call 'em half-man tights and they are great. Got some packed in my bag right now for a little xc-style workout in spikes on the grass this afternoon.
I think I'm going to go cheap-coast and hike my regulars up when I get hot.
I approve of these. They aren't pants, but they're still long enough to cover up your vagina.

I'm a fairly open-minded girl, but when I see a man wearing capris, ESPECIALLY running, I can't help but laugh at how silly he looks! I have nothing against homosexuals, but even the GAYS wouldn't wear those running!
you've never been around any "GAYS", have you?

If you're as cool as me you can go for the black 3/4 tights with white compression socks combo.
3/4 >> half >> long
I can see the "Peter Pan"*** look as being useful for the warmup on a slightly chilly day where you want the socks for the workout, but with regular shorts. Full pants or tights over the socks would be too hot. Just rock the capri tights over the shorts and socks for the warmup and peel them off when you're ready to roll.
***Disclaimer: It would take a very confident and secure man to willingly dress like this.

You're wrong. Gays would love them.
Any straight guy who wears capri tights is either a huge dork or a huge douche. I know you don't have to be a douche to wear them b/c I have friends who either do or would. However, they are dorks.
I started this as a joke, but with all the responses I'm seriously wondering about capris. So, now two serious questions:
Can a male wear capri running tights without negative judgements? Are they that polarizing of a garment?
From what I've seen it is ok to wear them if you are gay or "fast".
We have a guy on my college team who wears 3/4 tights on occasion. When he does, the rest of the team likes to remind the Coach that 3/4 tights guy has to leave early to pick up the kids from soccer practice.
Get them. They will keep your vagina nice and warm
Thanks for the input. What about visors? Are visors also lame? I think they are lame. The let your hair get cancer.
I've seen pictures of hesch wearing them on a couple of races, i guess theyd be good for cold races but why not just wear tights instead? I've seen plenty of gaylords in west hollywood so i don't think he looks gay but that could up for debate
