Hi All, this is one for the lads. I've tried RH DXB's but prefer tights to leggings. What are the best TIGHTS around for the soon to come wet & windy winter nights. What do you think?
Not got a pair, but you could try Helly Hansen Lifa Windbriefs;
"With the same properties as Lifa tights but in a brief, the Windbriefs also have a windproof patch on the crotch to pevent wind chill when running or cycling! they also wick moisture away and help prevent nasty sores."
I hate tights man - if youre a skinny git like me you look absolutley ridiculous. What are my options, what are these trackster thingies and where can i get em.
Another thing , assuming you dont mind your legs getting cold, then theres nothing wrong with running in shorts in the winter??
Tracksters are a 'style' of running trouser made famous by Ron Hill. Tights have more lycra, rubber ankle cuff grips and zips on the calf. But what are the best wind/rain proof tights!!
Ok. So tracksters are running trousers made by Ron Hill but not really skin tight. Whats the difference between tights and leggings then? What are GAYOMETER tights? Is that a brand?
I can't believe this fuss about Tights, Tracksters and Leggings, Surely its better to wear stockings, that way you don't need to remove them when you want to go to the loo! They are also much more hygenic.

I've only just started with tights myself so can't really answer properly - sorry.

I certainly can't remember anyone at my school doing a cross-country in leggings! The stick they would've got!

But then tehre were occasions when it was snowy/ icy when I just didn't bother going out, but that's only cos it was dangerous underfoot!
Tracksters are the brand name and you can get them in pretty much any decent running shop.
On the GAYOMETER tights are right up there with Tri crop tops and speedos....
Leggings dont register quite as highly,
and Tracksters barely register.
Using this scientific method If you want to cover your legs best to go with Tracksters :-)

What are GAYOMETER tights? Is that a brand?
What on Earth is "american tan full gusset"?
Are they what our colonial cousins wear for running?
Tracksters -> tights -> shorts -> racing -> event t-shirt/medal
maybe this will help
Hope this helps
