Long running tights & leggings

Why Choose a Long Running Pant?

A running tight, also known as a running legging, is a tight-fitting running pant made from breathable material. The advantage of a running legging over a loose pant is that it lets in less air and barely allows any wind through. The running legging fits snugly around your legs, reducing muscle vibrations, which helps decrease muscle soreness and fatigue. As a result, you can run for longer and perform better! Additionally, a running legging helps retain body heat more effectively and quickly wicks away sweat. Another benefit is that the running legging prevents friction, preventing irritation.

A Long Running Pant for Winter

A long running legging is mainly worn in cool or cold weather. As the weather warms up, a three-quarter running tight or a short running pant can be a good option. It is essential to keep your muscles warm to avoid injuries. We recommend opting for a long running legging when temperatures are 15°C or lower.

What Should a Good Long Running Pant Have?

It is important to choose a running pant made from material that breathes and quickly wicks away sweat. This helps keep your body dry and warm. Brands such as Nike, Asics, and Brooks offer long running leggings that incorporate special technologies. For example, Nike uses Dri-Fit and Stay-Warm technology, Asics applies MotionDry technology, and Brooks uses Brooks Equilibrium Technology. These technologies ensure that sweat is quickly drawn away, keeping your body dry and warm.

Long Running Pants for Women and Men

At Plutosport.nl, you’ll find long running leggings for both women and men. These leggings come in a range of price points and colors. In general, the leggings are made from breathable, moisture-wicking material. The price difference is mainly due to the special technologies used. Many running leggings also feature a small hidden pocket where you can store a key, for example. Some leggings even have reflective elements to ensure you're visible in the dark.

Tip

If your running legging doesn't have reflective elements or if you want to be more visible in the dark, complete your outfit with additional reflective items.
