Magic Tights?

By Ranked #128 - Men's Performance Tights January 5, 2010

Are they magic? I am not sure of that, but I was coming off a hamstring injury in my left leg as well as ITB syndrome in my right going into Ozark Trail 100 mile run and while I dropped at 68 miles, it was not because of either of those 2 leg issues (oddly enough if you don't eat enough during a 100 mile race things go bad). My legs felt good the whole time. These tights also seemed to breathe pretty well. The temps jumped close to 80 during the middle of the day and I did not one time feel overheated. I do not know how much the stabilization of the tights played into all of this, but they felt good to wear. The crotch area is a little low so I ended up folding the waist band over and it worked. I like these a lot and wear them a lot more than I thought I would. Though I am not usually the sort of person to wear tights (for modesty purposes) I tend to reach for these a lot because they just feel good to run in. I have ordered the full version for winter running.
