My favorite pair of running tights were damaged last year in a brutal December race They have a hole in the knee and I was thinking now that winter is here once again I should probably buy a new pair (these ones are also 3-4 years old) The problem is this ones have a zipper near the ankle to make it easier to put them on then zip up for ultra form fitted tights ☺

What are some of your favorite brands of running tights and do you know of any deals?

I've been using CW-X recover tights, on and off, for about two years (I've only been running 2 ½ years) and I think they help. No complaints about them.

Based on the recommendations here:

I just ordered the 2XU Elite Compression Tights from Amazon

My reason for trying running tights is that I'm in the process of upping my weekly mileage (25 to 35 or so) and I want to stack the odds in my favor.


I'll toss in another thumbs up for this product:

I wore it today (in the rain) and I think it helped keep me warm — even though the shirt is skin tight and very thin, it retains a tiny amount of water and that very thin layer of water kept me warm during my run.

Also, I originally put the 2XU tights in my Amazon wish list a few months ago (I was being too cheap to buy them). I checked back in a few weeks ago and the price was just over $100! Grr.

I opened an account at camelcamelcamel.com and set a price alert to $100. I got an email yesterday about the price drop and picked up a pair at $92.xx

Just thought I'd pass that along.

No idea about availability outside the UK, but my favourite brands are Ronhill and Odlo. They stay put so I don't have to keep hoiking them up mid run, unlike a lot of sports brand attempts of running tights...!

my saucony wintry tights have a zip near the ankle, what is that even for? they are nice but unusually for saucony come up a bit big, I wondered if I got man ones by accident but label definitely says womens

they have nice orange bits on them and some reflective detail and are from the 'vizipro' range and are WARM, I love them

I just have a pair of Nike Capri tights. They stay put and are just the right length for me. Seeing as I am "Vertically Challenged" (read: short) the Capri tights are like long tights on me I don't wear them often, though. Too warm for most of my Mississippi Winter. I usually run in shorts.

My favourites are the 2XU Elite Compression tights (I'm thinking of trying their thermal tights for winter running).

if you're in the US, Old Navy compression tights are only $30. I just bought two pair, tried them out on a cold run (33*) and they were perfect. Right now online there is a code for a 30, 35, and 40% discount. I bought 4 more pair for $84.

I love the fit, they're not super thin, not overly stretchy, and the rise isn't too low (important in the winter...brrr) also, I'm 5"8 so having the rise not be too low is awesome, and the regular length was perfect, too.

Score! I have a couple pairs of running capris from Old Navy and I *love* them. Now that winter has arrived in Canada I'm going to need full length tights. Thanks so much for reminding me what a great deal Old Navy workout clothing is.
