Running tights for New Zealand roads and trails
Running here means hills, wind and the odd four-seasons-in-one-day morning. A good pair of women's running tights needs a waistband that holds, somewhere for your phone, and fabric that copes once you warm up.
What to look for in running tights
- A waistband that holds. The Performance Tight has a drawcord and extra elastic, and it's one of our roll-resistant styles.
- Pockets. Most of our running tights have two, so your hands stay free.
- Fabric that breathes. Performance fabric is cool and silky and resists pet hair. Lola is quick-dry and moisture-wicking.
- The right length. Full length for winter mornings, 7/8 or 3/4 for warmer runs, and bike shorts for summer.
Our running range
- Performance Tight in full length (black or camo), plus 7/8 and 3/4 in black camo. Our go-to for running. Most people size down in these.
- Tilly Compression Tights if you like a firmer, held-in feel. See all compression tights.
- Hold and Lift Compression Legging with a seamless waistband.
- Lola Bike Shorts in 4 and 8-inch for hot days. Quick-dry, moisture-wicking and double phone pockets.
- Reversible Thermal Leggings for cold, dark mornings.
Top it off with our High Coverage Multi Functional Bra, the sports bra we recommend for running.
FAQs
Should I size down in running tights?
In the Performance Tight, most people do. For our other styles, start with your usual size and check the size guide.
Full length or 7/8 for running?
Full length is warmer and covers more on cold mornings. 7/8 finishes just above the ankle, so it's cooler once you get going and sits clear of your shoes.
Can I run in Alexis tights?
You can, and some of our customers do. Alexis is our softest brushed fabric, though, and it's happiest on low-impact days. For regular running, we'd point you to the Performance Tight or Tilly.
What should I wear running in winter?
Our Reversible Thermal Leggings. One side is brushed and warm, the other is smooth, and there are phone pockets. Add a long sleeve top and you're set.
