Winter running for some runners means continuing right on with their shorts wearing determination (yup I’m looking at my Colorado bad ass friends). But for me winter running tights ensure I get out the door and enjoy the miles a great deal more! Let’s look at some different weights and fits to find your perfect pair.
Moving to Colorado in 2015 from Florida, my gear closet quickly grew to now handle all the seasons.
Since then I’ve run in a ton of different styles and have narrowed it down to my top picks to help you out.
What am I looking for in a good winter running tight?
- Wicking – we don’t want anything that holds on to our sweat
- Fleece or wool that helps with the warmth and wicking
- Sometimes wind protection
- Stays up and doesn’t sag
- Bonus when it has a pocket
