It Really Begs the Question (Running Tights) (Read 947 times)

    What do I get for $130.00 that I am not getting for $22.99?

     

    I am sure there is a substantial difference in quality, but come on.

      You're comparing a pair of long johns to a pair of wind stopper sub zero tights but point taken.

       

      A Mercedes AMG S65 sedan is sweet but is it really $180,000 nicer than a Honda Accord?

      Runners run.

        Maybe the more expensive ones make your junk look more photogenic.

            CW-X thermals for the sub-0 days up here. Worth every penny.

                Name-calling.  Oooooooo, that's cold.  HA HA HA. Get it?  COLD.

                 

                And you guys are right, but looking stupid is a small price to pay for finding a nicely-priced pair of tights! Baby, it's cold outside!


                Not in Chicago

                  Yeah because you're bound to not look stupid in those tights.

                  You suck. You should just quit. Jackass. Welcome back.

                    Does anyone like Windstopper fabric?  I hate the stuff...sure, it's warm, but It doesn't stretch, which requires going up at least 1 full size, then they are too baggy on top to stay up without cinching the waist drawstring really tight to keep them from pulling down.  I've had at least 3 different brands of tights for running or cycling (NB, PI, Gore) with Windstopper front panels and they ALL do this.

                     

                    Totally not worth the $$.  Sugoi SubZero tights are, though.

                      Yeah, I totally hate when the windstopped front-panel doesn't stretch.

                            Second time I've read that.

                              I love the underwear with the wind stopper panel in the front, covering my junk. Hell yeah.
