    Plenty of pockets to carry gels and even a softflask. I put these suckers on and just instantly feel freaky fast.

    Jamie Hunyor, Ultrarunner & field botanist

    My favorite pair of half tights. I use them for track workouts, long runs, and for all my races-basically anytime they're clean (enough), they're on my legs. No chafing ever, but make sure to buy a brief liner (I recommend AsWeMove's Dominate brief)
