Ran in running tights for the first time today. I have seen the light!

You clearly do not live in the northeast winters, try a long run in 6 degree temps with just tights.

He probably wore a shirt too.

I also use the Sporthill pants. The original for cooler temps and a thicker model for colder times. Fantastic. I just bought a pair of Northface underwear that are semi compression to wear under the Sporthills. Love them.

I got sporthill tights for Christmas and I feel the same as you. Big improvement over baggier pants, which weren't all that bad to start with.

I’m pretty sure you are the unofficial Letsrun’s spokesperson for Sport Hill. At least you got me interested.

I bought some Saucony tights on close out for $20 as a low cost of entry to the world of running tights. Intended to use them for races, but took them out on a training run to test out. Not bad, not bad at all.

haha... if you are a world class runner or slender metrosexual then go with tights, otherwise spare us all and select a running pant from sporthill...

fyi I'm not a spokesperson for sportshill, just a runner who discovered them years ago. their products seem overpriced but everything I buy from them lasts 10-20 years.

are they compression tights?

To all the people talking about your junk being very visible in tights, every time I see these threads I don't get it. Wear running briefs underneath. Then you just get a not-too-revealing nondescript bulge, rather than your sausage plastered against your thigh, which can't be that comfortable anyway, regardless of it being revealing as well. I wear running briefs with shorts, too - who the hell can handle their junk flopping around?? It seems crazy to me. Don't you want everything snug and in place? There's lots of companies that make really nice, form-fitting and light running briefs, too. FFS, they make them out of dri-fit material. Try them out, you weirdos running around with flopping junk or it plastered against your leg in briefs.

You might not have meant that to be funny, but that was funny!!!!!
