How Do You Pick The Best Tights For Winter Running?
Winter running in cold climates can be a challenge, but runners live by the old adage, “there is no bad weather, only bad running gear.” Runners are fanatical about their running gear and opinions between them will differ, so knowing which features you want, need and like is key when choosing new gear. The best winter tights fit well, keep your muscles warm, your skin comfortable and dry, and fit your budget; features beyond these can mean the difference between the pair you grab for every run and the pair that goes to Goodwill. Buy running-specific tights made from moisture-wicking fabrics and avoid cotton. Look for lining. Those who run in temperatures below freezing should look for tights with a thermal lining, such as fleece. Check the length. If you’re taller than average height, chances are your ankles will be left out in the cold on winter runs; look for manufacturers that make tights in “tall” or “extra long” lengths. Find a comfortable fit. Winter running tights should be snug
