After having to rub nappy rash cream into unmentionable areas of my partner I persuaded him to try some running tights, he reluctantly agreed and the humbly priced Tribesport Running tights seemed as good as any to start out with. The running tights are made from a stretchy, sweat-wicking, polyester which doesn’t restrict movements, they are designed to fit closely to the skin to naturally reduce chafing and to keep you warm whilst strategically placed mesh helps allowing the skin to breath at the same time. The advanced seam placement prevents certain parts from being crushed whilst on the move (or so I was informed) and the small zip pocket in the back keeps other precious items safe too. The pocket is a good size and will accommodate up to an iPhone 6 and sits high enough on the back to be comfortable so you can use a fitness app or listen to your music whilst you work out. There is some silicone material on the inside of the ankles to help keep the tights from riding up and a draw string on the waist to prevent builders bum, one issue my partner had was that there are zips on the ankles to allow for a quick change but they clashed with the design of his running shoes and dug into his ankles whilst he ran, to remedy this he only had to unzip them an inch so they didn’t rub, so not a deal breaker. They wash up really well and do not lose the elasticity, for such a reasonable price these are impressive, high performing tights and have even won my partner over, even if he does insist on wearing shorts over the top for the sake of modesty.
