Having read the thread about Tracksters, I feel a little embarrassed to wear mine any more now.

Seriously though, I've been wanting to ditch my Tracksters for some time because I find it harder to run up hills in them - they seem to restrict bending at the knee. However, they do keep me warm and I don't look like I've got skinny chicken legs when I've got them on.

So, I would like something similar to keep my bandy legs warm on the hills when running on cold windy (and wet/snowy) days, but which are not so restrictive. The only other (preferable) requirement is that they don't fit like a second skin as those make my wife and daughter fall about in fits of laughter (did I mention my bandy legs?).

So, any recommendations for me - other than trading in the wife and daughter for versions who admire men in tights?
