Nike Stride

I was a little worried when I first tried these on due to them feeling smaller than what I needed. After wearing them for a couple jogs I felt like they really started to "form" better. They are super lightweight and the fabric is perfect for the hotter times of the year as these really breathe well. The pocket in the back makes them so much better to keep your phone or media player so you can enjoy your music/podcast while you're on a workout. For any of my peers that are active, I would definitely recommend these for training.

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.
