Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: Got these for Xmas...wore them out on New Year's for a snowy mtn run in Bulgaria with a buddy. 2 hrs into our run, got attacked by a hunting dog....significant laceration on thigh. Compression tights show no wear/tear at all!! Couldn't believe it... I needed stitches, but my pants are unscathed.
Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: Initially I was very impressed by this product. Out of the packaging it seemed to be well constructed and the sizing (I'm 5'10", 180 lbs and medium fit me nicely) was right on. My only complaint is that the ankle zippers don't have any kind of backing material, so the zipper rests against the back of my ankle. After five miles this resulted in a bloody raw spot. For a few more cents, they could have sewed something in to prevent skin-zipper contact. Once again, thanks to RR for hassle-free shipping to an APO (an increasingly rare thing). Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: The large tall inseam is listed wrong here. I took a chance and ordered 2 pair. They are great - AND LONG. I'm 6'3" and the LT fit me great! I typically wear 34X36 in slacks. Great tights as well - fit & material. Pros

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: Great, cost-effective article of clothing for your running wardrobe. Very comfortable in all pertinent areas: crotch, waist, inner thighs. Looks to be made of durable material... I've worn my pair consistently on my morning runs and have not been let down. Highly recommend.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I used this product once so far - for a 1/2 marathon run. Though Februarys in Minnesota can be bitter, this run took place on one of the "warmest" days of the winter. Temps were in the mid-40s that day and the tights felt great. I had worn them one other time (right when I got them) when the temps were in the single digits BELOW zero. I could feel the cold through the tights then. But, I can only imagine that they would have been sufficient or near-sufficient had I been running. Wearing the tights on race day proved to be more than I needed for warmth. Nevertheless, they felt great. They were tight enough to provide a great deal of support but not too tight to be constrictive. The ankle zippers were a nice surprise and frankly speaking, the complaints I had read previously about the zipper chafing the ankles are moot if one wears reasonable socks (a little above the ankle).

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I bought two pairs and on each one I have the same comments and issue. The stitching comes together at the base of the crotch in an open diamond shape with cloth sewn over it. When running you don't notice it. When you jump in the shower after six miles, it will grab your attention immediately. Happened to me three times, now I use Body Glide in that area.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I bought these primarily for running in the cold and rain of Northern California winter. After wearing the Velocity tights for a couple of runs, I can vouch for their warmth, lightness and non-chafing qualities on a 12 mile run.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: These are mostly everything I expected; warm, comfortable, don't get in the way. I've noticed that the draw string is pretty short and as I'm putting them on, I've lost it into the hole once or twice - was a pain to get out. Not a huge deal, since you don't need it to hold them up if you've sized them right. Also, it took a few tries to get them hiked up and "in place" so to speak. They want to sit low in the crotch by default and I had to work a little bit to get them all the way up and "situated."

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I bought these tights for my husband who is 6'3" and usually wears a 32-34 or 32-36 pant. I bought these in a Med tall and they are plenty long for him. He loves that he doesn't get hot in them and they seem to massage his legs while running. I'm getting ready to buy another pair.
Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: RRS Velocity are the Best Tights for the money, fit like Pearlizumi, 30 inch inseam is perfect on the LT, this is a standard fit for tights....great buy!! Thanx RRS give them a try, you won't be sorry!! MO Trail Nerd! Pros

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I'm 175 pounds, 5' 11" with a 35 inch waist. Ordered the XL and it fits perfectly even though it says it would be way too large for me. Tights seem to always be this way!

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: Found these in my local road runner store and have really enjoyed them as the weather has turned colder. They fit just right and are very comfortable. In low 30's temps with wind chill factor my legs have felt warm even prior to running. I would recommend these pants for casual to serious runners.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I'm 5'11", 175 lbs, 33" inseam, 15+ miles per week…"Large" tights were a little long in the leg and higher waisted than I'd like, "Mediums" would have been a better fit. Several wash/dry cycles have helped, the tights are no worse for wear and are holding up well.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I have bought this tight before, but since then they have obviously updated the pattern. Both times I purchased a medium-long because I have a 34 inch inseam. Previously they had been adequately long. The current version is very long, so much so that I'm wondering if the regular length might not work. Very happy.
Pros

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I bought men's medium tall and men's large tall. Both fit because I am just on the "cusp" between the two sizes. The large fits a tad better with my current weight but will still fit as I lose some pounds.
Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I am 6'2" with a 34" inseam and a "medium" sized waist, these fit perfect, in fact I could probably even have a bit longer leg. I got these because running in Northern Arizona in the winter gets chilly and these are a bit warmer than wearing shorts. I do wish they would offer these made in a Gore Windstopper material, that would be really ideal for my needs.
Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: These tights are sufficient to wear in the slightly below freezing temps in southern New Mexico early morning winter weather. I haven't had to purchase any in 5-7 yrs and I was pleasantly surprised to see they now come w/ zippers in the legs like the looser fitting running pants. The only feature that doesn't seem useful is the shallow pocket under the waistband on the back of your butt--I wouldn't trust my car keys to that pocket when I'm concentrating on sprinting to the finish line.
Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: Got these for a gift. I am 6'0" 185 lbs with a 35" inseam. Pretty leggy, so it's hard to find tights that don't leave a big gap between my shoes and the botoom cuff of the tights. I have the medium tall which fit me perfectly, excellent tights for long-legged people and I applaud RRS for offering that option.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: 6'2" & 170#. Medium tall are perfect. Plenty of length. No issues with the ankle zippers. Ran in 35 degree morning and very comfortable. Back pocket perfect for door card.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: I am an avid runner and these tights are perfect for brisk Colorado mornings in the winter. I'm 6'8" and the XLT fit great. My first run with these was a 9-miler and I didn't have one complaint. The zipper rubbing was a non-issue. Great for bike rides too. Highly recommend, especially if you are a tall guy like me.
Pros

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: Very good quality and very comfortable. I'm on the tall side so having the tall options in sizing is awesome. The size variety allows for finding the perfect fit. Vent panels are great. I have used these down to 30F and they have functioned perfectly.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: The bottom line is that I bought the cheapeast pair of tall-size tights I could find. I should have held out for something more expensive. The zippers in the back of the leg are always riding up; the drawstring in the waist is constantly falling through the loophols; and a very strange clothe pad under the groin feels just downright... well, strange. Buy something else. Don't waste your money.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: Needed last minute gear in case in rained. It did not rain but was great with the changes in temp from the cold morning, a little sun shine to to a windy finish. Wore it at the 2012 L.A. Marathon and feel it improved my performance overall. No chaffing and wore them without breaking them in which I was afraid of. Highly recommend it.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression Fitted Tights: Tights fit and feel great. My only complaints are with the drawstring. 36" waist 36" drawstring ? as soon as you go to put them on, drawstrings gone. I just pulled it right out and don't use one. Also the rear pocket stretches open with the tights. can't trust it for keys or such. I can only recommend for us tall folks because tall w/o clothes are hard to find.
