Nike Stride

I would say the tights run tighter so would recommend sizing up if you don’t like super compressed shorts. The design is perfect. I like that the fabric is light and dri fit. I like that there are strings to tie however I would I would make the band thicker and make a seamless version.

The Nike Stride Men's Dri-FIT 1/2-Length Running Tights are a strong performer in the running apparel category. The material delivers a smooth, midweight feel and Nike's Dri-FIT technology effectively wicks moisture away from the skin and dries quickly. The Dri-FIT in these tights make them well-suited for both high-intensity runs and as a compression style liner for underneath shorts in the gym. The design is clean and functional. I really like the two side pockets and a zippered rear pocket capable of securely holding essentials like a phone, gels, or keys without bouncing. The brief liner adds an extra layer of support and helps minimize chafing during longer workouts. When it comes to fit, the tights offer a supportive, locked in feel that stays in place throughout movement, with an adjustable drawcord waistband that allows for some customization. I have more slender legs and even I find them to be a little tight. I would recommend sizing up and using that drawcord to your advantage. If I could change one thing, it would be to add a little bit more room in the quad area, I think sizing up though would eliminate most of the issues I see with these though. Overall these are a pretty good running tight with high quality materials that just are a little too tight.

I have these in light blue, and I love them. The running tights are comfortable and help keep you dry during runs, walks, or any other workout. The hidden pocket in the waistband is a major plus. They fit true to size, but keep in mind that they are designed as running tights. If you prefer a looser fit, it’s best to choose a different option.
