Or running tights in general. Girls, boys, let's hear it; do you? Could you? Would you?
I wear tights all the time in the winter*. Typically with a wind blocking compression brief underneath. I do have a pair of manpri's that my buddy at the LRS gave me. I wear them with compression socks in winter occasionally so it kind of looks like I'm wearing tights.
My personal opinion is that I don't really get the functional need for them otherwise. It's either tights or shorts for me.
*while running. I don't think they would go over well if I wore them to work.
Mmmmm...beer
Same here, shorts or tights/pants, nothing in between for me.

I own one pair and if I wear them I usually wear track pants over them...strictly a warmth thing. Being a cyclist, I have no problem wearing full length spandex with nothing over it.

No tights (so far), only running pants. I get cheap ones from Target, and they've seemed to work for me in some pretty brutal winter conditions. Haven't had any problems with legs getting cold, but the aforementioned wind-blocking undies are key for the more critical regions, plus an extra layer of compression shorts when really cold.

I am speaking of full length running tights by the way which I stupidly refer to as manpris, mostly because I'm stupid.
Manpri's are 3/4 length tights.
Manpri's on the left (with appropriate shoe/sock color combo for St. Pat's run) and tights on the right.
ICYMI - I ordered a pair.
See, told ya I'm stupid.

Cheap Asics tights all winter. No Manpris.
Come on show me some manpri love!
I have to be honest, the first time I tried tights on I was laughing hysterically at myself. I dunno what's gonna happen when I don the manpris. I guess I better not look at myself
Just recently bought running tights from local store. So glad I wore them in sub 30 weather for training runs and races. Of course I'm not brazen like some dudes, I wear running shorts over them.
