Women's short tights & leggings

Short Running Tights vs. Short Running Shorts

For long running pants, it often makes sense to choose tight-fitting tights, but for short running pants, you have the option of short running tights or short running shorts. Short running tights have the great advantage of being very aerodynamic, while short running shorts are lightweight and very breezy! Many competitive runners opt for running shorts because they want to carry as little extra weight as possible. If you run mostly recreationally, the choice between tight running tights or loose running shorts depends largely on your personal preference.

Features of Short Running Pants

Many short running pants for women are made of elastic material, ensuring a comfortable fit that hugs the body well. Additionally, many short running pants have breathable properties, which wick away sweat to the outside and allow fresh air to reach the body. Wearing breathable short running pants helps keep the skin dry and fresh, enabling your body to regulate its temperature effectively, reducing the likelihood of feeling too hot or cold.

Tip

Do you often suffer from chafing legs while running? Make sure your running pants are long enough to prevent your legs from rubbing painfully against each other.
