[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think men are super comfortable wearing essentially “tights” as pants in public. Unless they are bikers or speedo wearers, there is no equivalent item they would wear. [/quote]

No equivalent?  What about sweat pants?  If the purpose of the legging is to provide warmth, why not wear sweat pants instead of shorts?[/quote]

Have you ever tried to run ten miles in sweatpants? Chafing city, ouch! The leggings provide support and sometimes compression; the shorts on top are for modesty and sometimes also pockets or other benefits.[/quote]

I guess my confusion comes from the newness of this trend.  Guys ran and worked out for decades in regular sweatpants and I wasn't aware that sweatpants caused so many issues (though I might have been ignorant to the issue).

Either way it's just a funky looking style that seems to have popped up in the last couple of years.  Plus most of the time I see guys doing this at the gym and not on long distance runs.

RE: modestly.  I might be totally missing the point but as long as a guy is wearing underwear under those tights, what is the modestly concern?  Wouldn't underwear "keep everything in place?"[/quote]

OP, do you wear bulky sweatpants when you go running?  Why do you care what someone else wears?[/quote]
