Men's running tights: warm, snug and chafe-free

Cold legs at the start, shorts that chafe over long distances, a phone that slaps against your leg with every stride: the right tights solve all of it. In this collection you'll find long, short and half tights for men — from winter tights with a warm lining to compression tights with pockets for your gels.

Long, half or short: which suits your runs?

• Long tights — keep your muscles warm in the cold and protect against wind, branches and nettles. Ideal from autumn through spring.
• Half tights — ending just above the knee: support and chafe protection with more ventilation than long tights.
• Short tights — fit snugly without shifting, perfect for warm days and tempo sessions, on their own or under shorts.

Winter tights: warm without feeling heavy

For cold mornings, choose tights with a brushed or thermal lining, such as the Ronhill Tech Winter Tight or the Fusion Hot Long Tight. They hold in the warmth while still wicking away sweat. That way you'll keep running comfortably, even in January.

Pockets that don't bounce

Good tights double as a storage system. Half tights such as the Bandit Striped Cadence and the Ronhill Tech All-Terrain have pockets around the thigh that hold gels, a phone and keys tight against your leg. Handy on runs without a vest, and in races your nutrition is always within reach.

Fit: snug, but not restrictive

Tights should fit close to the body, otherwise the fabric wrinkles and chafes. At the same time, they shouldn't dig in at the waist or thighs. Torn between two sizes? Check the size chart on the product page or come and try them on in our store on the Maasstraat in Amsterdam.

Frequently asked questions

At what temperature should I switch to long tights?

Most trail runners switch to long tights at around 10 degrees, especially in wind or rain. Below 5 degrees, winter tights with a warm lining are highly recommended.

Are short tights better than shorts?

Short tights prevent chafing between the thighs better than loose shorts and give your muscles some support. If you want more ventilation, 2-in-1 shorts with an inner tight are a great middle ground.

Can I wear shorts over my tights?

Absolutely. Many runners pair short or long tights with loose shorts on top, for extra pockets or simply because it feels more comfortable.
