Are you looking for something that protects your modesty?<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> <\/section> Will you be running in the dark? If so, you\u2019ll want to opt for a garment that helps boost your visibility to other members of the public.<\/p>\n Answer all of these questions and you\u2019ll have a greater idea of what type of garment will suit you best. Then, take a look at our selection of reviews on the best winter running tights below to see which ones we rate and why.<\/p>\n In order to wick moisture away and insulate effectively, most running tights fit close to the body. However, there are outliers. For example, if the tights have a compressive element to them, then they\u2019ll fit much closer.<\/p>\n On the other hand, you\u2019ll also find some that fit a little looser, such as the Inov-8 tights in this test. That\u2019s handy if you\u2019re planning to wear the running tights on their own and don\u2019t want them to be too revealing.<\/p>\nWhat to consider when buying?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
