M's 8" Trail Half Tight

The trail half tights are hands down my favorite piece of clothing for running. I have many pairs. I'm 6'2" and 185 and can fit either the M or the L.

I never wore men's tights before and was kind of on-the-fence about if I'd feel comfortable or appropriate in them, but I really loved the pattern and length. I wore them for the first time and got 2 complements from other runners, and I was surprised to not be given a hard time for wearing tight shorts around some friends that generally give each other a hard time.

I was skeptical that the pockets would actually hold a large phone without an annoying bounce, but I was actually able to completely forget that I even had a phone after just a couple minutes. I normally sweat a lot, but these were very cool and breathable, and I didn't want to take off after the run. Will probably get another pair in the future.

Wasn’t a big tights person… until now. I list about lived in my AFO shorts, bought these on a whim seeing all the other reviews and I’m sold. The fit is perfect, tons of pockets and now my regulars for my long runs. Even able to give up running with a waist bag on most runs thanks to these tights.

These fit just as well as the Groundwork Tights I have for colder weather. The pockets are excellent and hold things securely.

The platform is top-shelf among half tight designs: External draw string (so no chafing); 4 big pockets; smooth fabric that never rubs.

Comfortable, breathe well, and can carry so much gear in the pockets without any slipping or bouncing to affect your run. Goodbye, annoying water belt.

6’5” and ~215 lbs and a large fits like a glove.
