Running Tights Frequently Asked Questions

What is the point of running tights?

Running tights offer a few advantages compared to looser clothing. They create a streamlined profile, reducing friction with air as you run. This is a minor factor for most runners, but for competitive runners or those striving for personal bests, it can make a difference. Some studies suggest that compression tights may improve circulation and reduce muscle fatigue and soreness after a run. The close-fitting nature of tights can help prevent chafing. Running tights aren't for everyone, though. Some runners prefer looser fitting clothing for comfort and air circulation or freedom of movement.

What tights to wear for running?

Running tights made with performance fabrics will wick sweat away from your skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable and reducing chafing. Avoid cotton tights for running, as they tend to absorb sweat and can become heavy and uncomfortable. Running tights should fit snugly but not be restrictive — you should be able to move freely and comfortably. If you like to listen to music while you work out, look for tights with a pocket for your phone. Visit the adidas blog for more intel on choosing athletic leggings and tights.

What's the difference between running tights and leggings?

Running tights and leggings are basically the same thing. For running, make sure whatever bottoms you choose are made with technical, sweat-wicking fabric. Look for performance features like flat seams to minimise chafing, mesh panels for ventilation and integrated pockets for storing essentials like keys or gels. Leggings that are designed for streetwear or studio classes like yoga have more of a focus on style than on durability and comfort in motion.
