Beginning to see half tights become more and more common throughout runners of all distances. Curious to race in a pair but don't know the best kind. Anyone know of some high quality pairs for mid-distance runners that are comfortable and don't ride up when running?
I prefer Nike half tights...
I've got a couple pairs of the Nike Fundamental half tights. Their fit is perfect and they don't ride up. Also the fabric is thick and quite durable.
They got replaced by a cheaper (same price tho) version called the Nike Fast Half Tight. Though, they the front looks goofy like underwear.
I also have a pair of the Adidas Supernova tight short and they are OK. They don't ride up and are comfortable. Just I don't think they will hold up as long as the Nike.
I must've spent 3/4 of my running career wearing half tights, 3/4 tights, and full length tights. Including speed suits. So I'm quite familiar with running tights. Only time I don't run in fitted clothing is primarily during the summer (unless I've had too much sun).
Now since it's cold, that's all I'm forced to wear is 3/4 or full tights. Only time I put on my running shorts is on the treadmill. Even then, I prefer fitted shorts.
Also, I wear running briefs under all my tights. Like my go-to are the Asics ASX brief.

Yes, they are nice to wear in Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Iowa this time of year!
Nike filament half-tights. Not sure they make the OG anymore and if they do I can't find any in a normal size

closed minded view is oblivious to what the actual conversation is about lol
Bumping this old thread. I need some new half tights and don't know what to get. I use these year round (not just in the cold). Ive got an old pair of Tracksmith ones that are OK (looks like the design has changed a bit since I got these), and another pair from Jaanji that is pretty good (like the pockets, looks like they have increased a lot in price since I bought them). What are some other options that are good?
For what its worth, I don't wear undergarments under them. Haven't ever had any issues and frankly, didn't even know that was a thing until I saw that you can order the Tracksmith ones with or without a liner.
What's the running equivalent of Tadej Pogacar riding ~7 W/kg for 40 min?
JACOB and YARED, why won't either try to emulate Hicham's 1500m tactics?
Can we talk about how crazy hard this Olympic marathon course is?
