Winter Tights

[wheezing donkey]

Nike 'Dry Fit' 3/4 length 'capri' tights - come just below the knee. No clammy wet material flapping round your calfs and they dry mega-quick. Around £25/28 at Pete Bland's

Any suggestions?

This is an important thread (thanks, Stef F). I do hope it gets lots of replies.

Most of the time I settle for Nike Dry-Fit 3/4 length "Capris" ( no wet / cold material clinging to your calfs ) in conjunction with Helly Hansen wind panel Y fronts (helps stop the tortoise from hibernating ) and long(ish) ( almost top of the calf ) length SealSkin socks. I used them on Thursday night for a 2 hour 'head torcher' around Clougha Pike in 3 cm of snow ( on the shooting tracks ) and quite a 'bracing' breeze - must have been around -3*C. For really dire conditions I have a pair of full length tights by Callange ( a small Stockport company ) in Malden Mills' PowerStretch fleece; most of the time they are only suitable for walking, far too hot to run (fast) in; would probably be ok for something like a full-on winter BG in arctic conditions.

it'd have to be really cold for my standard issue running tights not to be warm enough, but if it was I'd just stick helly hansen lifa leggings underneath - better for wicking sweat than having thick tights on

Love my Gore BikeWear bib tights for when it's really cold and there's going to be some deep snow trudging... although they're meant for biking, they don't have a pad in and are great for long and steady stuff in the cold.

i use my Lycra bib tights quite often as well.
in this snowy weather also used a pair of cheap running bottoms from Aldi. they have been fine

If it's really cold and there's a chance I'll be running through deep snow I wear a pair of North Face thermal long-john type tights. I don't think they're meant for running, more thermo-nuclear undercrackers, but they're dead light, warm and dry very quickly. A snip at £15, though they might've been on sale. Interesting to note that they are "Fly/Odour resistant". Useful if you're plagued by flies in that department. A link to the men's version below... I'm sure they'll do a women's too.

Pretty sure my girlfriend uses some Craft leggings. Pretty cheap and she swears by them.
