It is summer in Florida, and it is hot. However, a few weeks ago I saw a guy running in a pair of full-length compression tights. My first thought was that gotta be unbearably hot but he seemed to not be suffering at all. So I put on a pair I had for the few cold runs I do and ... BAM, did that feel good. Wasn't hot at all and I just love the extra support my thighs and calves get during the run. I'm hooked.

I wondered that last night as I was running in the heat index of 112 degrees and I saw some people wearing long running tights. Good to know it's bearable.

I think you gotta be a bit careful about the fabric your tights are made of but I have a pair of Skins and a pair of 2XU and honestly, I am not hot in them at all.

Thanks for posting. I looked into long compression shorts and read how the legs don't up on heavy women. Yea! Ordered two pairs. Cool and covered, can't wait to try them.

Totally depends on the fabric type and purpose - for UA products they have Heat Gear, which keeps you cooler, and Cold Gear, which keeps you warmer.  In hot weather I can't imagine wearing the cold gear anything, much less full-length tights.  The Heat Gear stuff I could see, as it also has some SPF protection.

I'm sure there are similar differences from other manufacturers...I just know the UA stuff.
