Runners often use running tights in addition to running pants or running shorts.
Running tights are meant to lend further support to your legs by helping absorb some of the muscles' energy impacts from pounding and stretching.
And of course, running tights are also intended to keep your leg muscles extra warm so that they remain supple and loose. But if you wear running tights, you of course need them to be of the highest quality so they are not constrictive on either your legs or at your waist.
They also need to be made of very durable material given the wear and tear a regular wearer of them is going to expose them to.

ASICS Thermopolis XP Tights are made of a well-formulated polyester and spandex hybrid material. These really do deliver superior levels of comfort in tights. Other top features of these runner tights include reflective lower leg zips which make it easy to put the tights on or take them off quickly without removing your shoes, an outer stow pocket, and ankle gripper elastic.
ASICS also makes a superior Inner Muscle Knee Tight. These are polyster/DOW knee-length running tights which feature ASICS' patented Inner Muscle™ technology. These are intended especially to help in training and strengthening the psoas muscle to more effectively support the spinal column, enabling you to have better posture and form for all around better health and performance. These tights focus on what has emerged in sports medicine and physical fitness science as the all-important "core". This means improved stride and decreased risk of injury for you. In addition there are flatlock seams to eliminate or reduce chafing for your total comfort.
