For me, comfort is the most important thing when it comes to running tights. A good pair of running tights should fit perfectly and move smoothly with your body, without chafing or feeling too tight. This becomes especially important if you're running longer distances. Comfort is absolutely key for running tights.

The material is crucial for a good pair of running tights. I prefer tights made from technical, quick-drying material with the right amount of compression that also breathes well.

A fabric that wicks away sweat and keeps your skin dry makes a big difference when you're out running. So, make sure to choose running tights that breathe and help your body maintain the right temperature.

Pockets are incredibly useful in running tights, especially if you want to carry keys or a phone. For those of us who run year-round, weather-adapted running tights can also be handy, like tights with insulation for really cold days.

The Bäckaryd Men's Tights are the best running tights I’ve ever tried. First of all, they have an excellent fit; they stay snug without being too tight.

Additionally, the material in these tights is top quality – it breathes, feels soft, and is comfortable on the skin, whether it's for shorter training sessions or long-distance runs. They also have both an elastic waistband and a drawstring, so they stay in place. Really versatile running tights!

YMR Track Club has really thought through the details in these running tights. The pockets are smartly placed and spacious enough for both a phone and an energy gel, but they’re positioned so you hardly notice them while running.

Plus, I really like that they are ÖKOTEX-certified and have a design and quality that make them last a long time – an eco-friendly option that feels good to wear.

My best advice is to try a few different models of running tights and see what works best for you. Focus on comfort and fit, and make sure they have the features you need. And as I mentioned, if you’re looking for really good tights, I highly recommend YMR Track Club's Bäckaryd Men's Tights – they deliver on all fronts and are the best running tights I’ve tested.

Choosing the right running tights can really enhance your running experience and help you get the most out of every session. With Musse’s tips in mind, it’s easier to find running tights that meet your specific needs.
