Running leggings and tights

High-waisted for support, moisture-wicking technical fabric and often pockets for your phone and gels. For winter, a thermal or wind-blocking tight at the front of the thighs; for compression, a model that supports the muscles (2XU).

Shorts and half tights

For heat and speed: light running shorts, 2-in-1 models (short + built-in anti-chafing liner) and half tights that offer support and moisture management on long runs.

Summer or winter: what to wear?

Summer / heat: a light short or a quick-dry half tight.
Mid-season: a breathable 7/8 legging.
Winter: a full-length thermal tight, wind-blocking, with reflective details.
