Think you can run in these pants/skirt?

Or these? (I don't quite understand the difference in the two...)

I know skirtsports has one, but they are more expensive and the capri length usually fits me like a pant length since I'm so short. I'd have to alter the skirtsport one...

Hard call. They are cute- I can't tell the difference either, but maybe it's the materials?

I bought the track pants that are on clearance at Nike. I like them, but they are long. I've worn them out and about, but it's been too hot for running in them. I tend to be nervous if it doesn't say "Running" but I'm new at this cold weather exercising thing, so I don't know if that's a valid concern or not.

Can you try them on at Phipps or some place? I ordered the same size shorts and pants from Nike. The shorts may have to come out after a few more LRs or with a very long shirt , but the pants are almost big- irritating! Oh, and I'm sure it's colder there, but I've been fine in shorts in about 45 degrees as long as I layer on top.

Best of luck, clothing scout!

It looks like to much material for me. I don't like to much 'stuff' and the skirt is to much for me. I wear a pair of tights when it's cold, and usually that's good enough. I did buy a wicking pair of 'long johns' at Sam's and will try them under my tights if it gets really cold.

I think that the clothing companies go to far with 'fashionable' attire for exercise clothes. I don't need fashionable, I need FUNCTIONAL !

Hmmm, tough to say Shan. Cute for yoga, but all of that around the waist, plus a waist pack for your water bottle might be a bit annoying.

I've learned to get over how I look in running tights because, well...they are just the most comfortable thing ever. I'm not sure how cold it gets where you live, but at the end of the day I find tights to be the most comfortable in cold weather running. I agree with Beth, function over fashion!

You won't know until you try though!

Hey,

I have seen women wearing clothes in races that look like those. I sometimes wear a skirt (but they don't have spankies) over running tights and it doesn't bother me at all. I really like to do that for trail races, ....uhm, when nature calls and there isn't anyplace but nature to go....well the extra bit of skirt is handy. It's a neat trick I learned training on my country roads.

Anyway, I have seen them in races! If you like the extra coverage go for it. Afterall, it isn't about fashion, it's about your comfort!

Hey Leana, I've been meaning to tell you I got some Sugoi tights on your recommendation & love them! Thanks a bunch! Sorry to be OT!

I guess I need to just go try some running tights on. I have a leftover tummy that I'm very self conscious about and I thought these would cover it up. (I love my skirtsports cause of this.)

I bought two pairs of Champion pants at Target that are capris and fit me like pants, but they are already fading out after just a couple washes.

I don't think I could. Plus, the sarong(sp?) part would probably emphasize my spare tire too much.

Yay, I'm so glad you like them Stacey!

Can you tell me which style you guys recommend? I'm looking online...

Shan, I got these, and used the WISHD discount. They have been great so far. I go out whenit's been about 25 degrees & I've been okay. They do seem a bit long, so the leg might be a bit bunchy for you.

 

[lenshanem]

Thanks Stacey. I just don't think I can do tights.
I tried on a pair of Nike tights the other day and given I'm so short I had to really bunch them up, plus I felt like I looked like a frog.

I was looking at the Sugoi Energy or Nebula pants. I'm wondering if these can be hemmed? Does anyone have either pair of these?

I love wearing tights, but because of some extra fluff, I forgo wearing them.
With the sarong type skirt covering I will be able to wear tights and also cover up the fluff!!!
I tried a pair of tights under my gym girl and loved the way my fluff was concealed. I will be keeping an eye out for some ready made skirt tights to try!!
