Nike Element Thermal tights? (Read 72 times)

    Random question.....

     

    So my birthday is coming up, and I was planning on asking for some more expensive running essentials that I wince when I have to pony up the money for...namely, shoes and winter tights. But when I was searching for a link to send to the important present buying folks, my favorite warm weather tights, the Nike Women's Element Thermal are nowhere to be found. Roadrunnersports.com and runningwarehouse.com don't have them anymore..... Nike.com has them on sale only in large (I would wear medium). Anyone know if those were discontinued?!! Or is it just too early to be buying winter gear?? If they ARE discontinued (noooooo!) does anyone have really good winter tights recommendations? I also have Under Armour ColdGear ones but I don't like them even close to as much as the Nike Element Thermals.

        Haha.... just was trying to think of things I need/want that I don't want to have to pay for. Summer running clothes are inexpensive and I am SET for summer and fall temperatures clothing wise. The tights I like are $75 and the shoes are $115, figured those were good items to seize the opportunity of having someone else buy them for me.

        Love the Half


          If you can find them in stock, I honest to goodness love the Champion C9 Tights from Target.  They're $20-25 and I like them much better than tights I have costing three times that much.

          Short term goal: 17:59 5K

          Mid term goal:  2:54:59 marathon

          Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life.  (I started running at age 45).

            Oh yeah another Target C9 fan here. I wear pants rather than tights, but C9's are the only ones I own.

              I actually like the Under Armour ones, but rarely wear them... I'm a total CW-X devotee.  Love, love, LOVE them.

                I like the Moving Comfort Endurance Tights.  They don't chafe, and they're substantial enough that even I don't feel like I need to wear shorts over them.

                  I love my Mizuno heat gear tights for super cold (they warm up with your sweat), but most of the time I wear my Brooks Utopia tights. They are like wearing a hug.

                    My thought as well


                    Will run for scenery.

                      Ooh, I have it real bad.

                       

                      I saw this thread, started looking at tights online, read some reviews, and my head began to fill with images of chilly Autumn weather.

                       

                      I clicked "buy".

                       

                      CW-X Men's Pro Running Tights on the way.

                        I like my CW-X tights a lot.

                          OK, so not to derail, but how is the sizing on the CW-X tights?  I usually buy my pants based on who offers tall sizes (cw-x doesn't).

                           

                          I think I might have asked this before and was advised to buy the men's version.

                            How tall are you?  I'm 5'8" and they fit ok - the pants come to right above my ankle.    I'm in a medium and that has the right amount of compression too.   Then again, I'm not the leggiest of tall women...
