Would these pants be good to wear of tights for running in the cold? Would they restrict my leg movement? Is there a built in chamois?

There is a thin layer of padding, but not a full chamois. I'm not a runner, but I don't think these pants are suited for that purpose. They're loaded with padding down the front of the leg, which is good when cycling (due to wind) but could be restrictive for a runner.

I have used these on hikes of 10 miles and more and on the treadmill and have never had chafing. They do get your calves warm in a hurry.

I have always worn with long pants or jeans. I think just because they are rubber, its actually cooler to wear some sort of pants because rubber doesn't absorb sweat but yes I wouild imagine they would cling to your legs a bit if it were against skin. However, it is a thick rubber so less likely to stick hard, you actually roll them down your legs anyway to take them off. But I love mine I use them quite frequently.

Yes/No.Yes: They keep me covered temperature wise on my ride to work, but I'm in sunny socal, so the whole climate is wind resistant. It's a thin outdoor/breathable material.No: These are shorts, with a breathable material.Would I use these to bike on a cold Chicago day, maybe, I'm a sweater, so it'd keep me balanced; but once you stop riding/moving around, the punishment would ensue. Hope this helps.

You might want to go to their size breakdown. These are compression tights. They are for running so muscle and joint support. No idea about veins. I am 5' 3" 109-110 lbs and wear XS.

I wear these below freezing without too much trouble. They're cold for the first mile, but fine for the rest of the ride. I'm surprised anyone can stand to wear them in the 60's as I find them unbearably hot above 50 or so. This just goes to show how differently people perceive warmth.

Depends on what you plan to use them for. I have used them several times when there were frost warnings here. They have very nice drawstrings and are easy to install and remove. For my needs they are perfect. However I live in Ft Lauderdale area and MA has much colder temperatures so can't vouch for freeze conditions. JR

I believe they would work well for skiing, they are thicker than standard thermal underwear, without being bulky. I think the activity statement pertains to construction or building trades.

They are thin enough and compression leggings, but not sure they bring warmth other than them being another layer. The compression will help with the hiking and may keep you from getting cold just because it is another layer of clothing.

No, they're a lightweight, durable hiking/climbing pant. Tights or long underware under them makes them a good bet for the shoulder seasons.

Just plan on going up a size of your usual tights. These are made to be TIGHT. They are supposed to be for supporting your muscles and prevent injury.

I haven't worn these outside while running in the winter. I have worn them in the winter (because I ran out of regular socks) for regular day activities and my feet get pretty cold if I'm outside.

I wore these under trousers and jeans in winter in Australia so it's not usually colder than 9-10 Celsius in the morning outside.I would say 3-4 perhaps but I bought them as a buffer against cold not as a thermal. I really liked them .They are not something that will do the same as thermals 100% but for taking the chill off they're great.Keep in mind the quality is not long lasting sadly and they after 6 months had to be thrown out but they're long in the leg and higher waisted than others.

I'm an EMT in South Carolina. As far as these types of pants go, they are alright in the heat... they are much more lightweight than some. However, none of them breathe particularly well. I have to wear dark blue ones, maybe a lighter color pant would be cooler.

zippers and the boots go alll the way up to right under your butt cheeks ... i have had these like 3 months i was running on 30 when i talked to my sister that has used these or like these she said she uses hers on number 10 &lt;they go to 100&gt; the 10 -15 ish is far more effective then the 30ish 40 i was using also i wear leggin pants when i use them that way no "extra fabric " gets in the way pressing deeper into my legs ,,u can email me if u like kwilder@va.metrocast.net if u would like

I wore the Propper lightweight men's pants when I was working in 30-90 degree (mountains) Fahrenheit weather. Ideally they are comfortable in the spring and fall (50-80 degree F). If you are going to wear them in constant cold weather (close to or below freezing) I would wear thermals underneath to provide protection from the elements.

If you clip them on your leg good and arent too wild you should be ok. I use mine for skiing and have no problems.
