    Personally, I like the look. Each to their own, right? The only thing I don't like is the media calling them "meggings." They're "leggings." Men have legs too. Enough said.

    And for the record, I wore pink tights when I ran 10k in the Tokyo Run for the Cure in December.

    Just for the record, HG World Champion, 2012...Matt Vincent often wears screaming pink tights under his kilt for the warmth factor. He also usually wears blue Rehband neoprene foam knee joint supports/warmers to it breaks up the "tights" look and it appears, mostly, that he's wearing screaming pink kilt hose. When Matt and Mike Zolkiewiecz formed a team to compete for the Team Champs at Pleasanton, Mike wore the pink tights, too.

    There's lots of video of Scottish champion, Gregor Edmunds throwing in tights under his kilt. ...but then, that's because it was bloody cold that day.

    My two cents.
    Below 18 degrees F I tend to put some black leggings on for the warmth. Usually some compression bike type shorts over that to keep the coin purse warm. Thats what I run in on the streets. When out in the woods its the leggings and my running kilts. Yes I have walked into my grocery store after a trail run in my kilt and leggings to grab some dinner items and beer but they are practical not a fashion statement. It has to be below 20F for me to consider them.

    Sounds also like a Seinfeld episode could evolve along with the "Manzier" the "Brao" and the other names they used for the male bra. Now the meggins. Hmm wonder if you could get a bunch of guys into the woods with sticks and canvas bags calling up meggings like you would hunt snipe???? :buttkick:
