Tights - On sale

Men's tights are a type of sportswear. They are pants that fit tightly around the legs, which makes them resemble leggings, but they have fundamental differences.

Men's tights – what are they for?

Tights made their way into men's wardrobes relatively recently. This type of sports pants was invented at the end of the 20th century. Initially, the men's version of leggings was worn mainly by athletes. Then form-fitting pants became popular among runners, cyclists, fitness trainers, gymnasts, boxers, and people into yoga, martial arts, skating, and gym training. Today they are worn not only by professional athletes but also by amateurs.

Unlike regular sweatpants and leggings, tights fit the leg more tightly and apply light pressure to the soft tissues (compression effect). This provides support for muscles, ligaments and tendons, improves blood circulation and oxygen supply to the muscles, which is extremely important during intense physical activity. Wearing such pants during workouts minimizes the risk of sprains, muscle overload, and other injuries. With proper support, muscles get tired less, so the workout can be longer and more effective.

What materials are tights made from?

There are summer and winter compression tights, models for running and other sports, men's leggings for outdoor and indoor training. Depending on the type of product and brand, different kinds of fabric can be used for sewing. Manufacturers most often use:

• elastane;
• polyamide;
• spandex;
• polyester.

These fabrics create the proper compression effect and allow good moisture transfer, which is important for sports. Models for professional athletes usually use combinations of materials with different properties, while football and running variants often have mesh inserts to remove excess heat and moisture.

What models of men's tights are there?

Those who want to buy men's tights for sports should know that there are several models of such pants:

• tight shorts – men's short models, usually to the knee, suitable for high-intensity training with lots of movement (running, CrossFit, cycling races);
• cropped tights – men's leggings reaching mid-calf (for fitness, dance, running, cycling training);
• long – classic ankle-length (for boxing, running, aerobics, football, yoga, pilates, dance).

There are also lightweight and insulated models. The former are made of lighter materials, have many ventilation inserts, and are suitable for indoor training as well as outdoor training in warm weather. Insulated ones are made of dense, wind-resistant materials that provide good thermal insulation even in cold weather.

• size – if chosen incorrectly, the compression inserts will not be positioned anatomically correctly;
• length – depending on the season and type of training;
