Umm, thanks for sharing Jen. Thank god it's winter; you may have spoiled a weekend picnic with that image.
I hate wearing tights, so I don't do it. No matter the temp outside us guys look like it is really really cold out when wearing tights...I didn't say they looked good, I said they were reasonable attire for men running in hot weather. I HATE HATE HATE men (ok women too) in tights, I know I am in the minority, but if there is a tighted man running at me I will turn around and run the other way, or close my eyes, make a face, or pretend like I am looking at birds! If you must wear tights put a kilt over them, is my feeling anyway. Or put a loin cloth on over your tights! I think a discussion of buckskin leggings would be interesting too. Come to think of it; those actors in The Last of the Mohicans did not look bad in loin cloth + leggings.
I imagine the rednecks look at you and go, "wow, that guy has some brass nuts to be running like that, I'm not messing with him..."Seriously though, just a gimmick or costume. Not that great for performance and I would never wear them in my redneck valley. I'm riding a fine line of not getting beat up as it is.
BTW I just Googled "loincloth runners"...hoping for more traditional pictures...and your pics from your event are in the second row in the image search. That's some publicity!
