Running tights and leggings for comfort and performance
A good pair of running tights or leggings can be essential for runners of all levels, offering a great combo of comfort, support and functionality. Whether it’s pounding the pavement, hitting the trails or sweating it out on a treadmill, the right pair can make a massive difference in your workout experience. At MEC, you can find all sizes and styles of running tights and leggings from brands like Kari Traa, Salomon, MEC Label and more.
The benefits of running tights
One of the main advantages of running tights is their ability to provide a snug, second-skin fit. This design reduces drag and prevents chafing, making them ideal for long-distance runs or high-intensity workouts. Many tights also have compression technology, which can improve blood circulation and reduce muscle fatigue, helping you recover faster after a run. Breathability is another key feature of running tights and leggings. Most are made from moisture-wicking fabrics that keep sweat away from your skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable. Mesh panels or ventilation zones are often incorporated to enhance airflow during intense runs.
Extra features
When choosing running tights or leggings, think about the current climate and your specific running needs. For colder weather, thermal or fleece-lined options provide warmth without adding bulk. On the other hand, lightweight and breathable tights are ideal for warmer conditions. Some tights even come with UV protection to shield your skin from the sun. Pockets are another practical feature, perfect for stashing essentials like keys, gels or a phone. Look for options with zippered or hidden pockets to keep items secure. Adjustable waistbands, flatlock seams and reflective details are additional features that can enhance comfort and safety during early morning or evening runs.
Caring for your tights
To ensure your running tights last, wash them in cold water and avoid fabric softeners, which can break down moisture-wicking properties. Air drying is also recommended to maintain their elasticity. Investing in quality running tights or leggings is a step toward enhancing your running performance. They’re versatile, durable and designed to keep you comfortable and supported, mile after mile.
