Would these pants be good to wear of tights for running in the cold? Would they restrict my leg movement? Is there a built in chamois?

There is a thin layer of padding, but not a full chamois. I'm not a runner, but I don't think these pants are suited for that purpose. They're loaded with padding down the front of the leg, which is good when cycling (due to wind) but could be restrictive for a runner.

I bought them specifically as some "cheap" snow pants. We were visiting family in Chicago, and were going to go sledding. we were only out for an hour, and they didn't really keep snow out, especially the pockets, which means your top layer doesn't keep you dry and I would expect you'd eventually get cold. They worked short term, but I wouldn't use them to ski

No i think they will not be very comfortable while running. The other thing is that they are very tight on the knee top and create some discomfort. So what i will recommend is that try elastic one the reason i purchased these one was i thought they will be very good in support but turn out that they are good at supporting your knee but they have other problems as mentioned above. I hope this helps.

I have no problem with movement with these braces. I could run with the brace, although I prefer to use stability pants and use these between runs if I feel the need for additional support. You could easily run with these on and they would stay in place.

No my dear they are not suitable for cold weather hikes definitely you need to worn some thing under.

You will have to use your own waterproofing solution. And no, wind passes right through hem so I would not recommend them for cold weather.

NO, its makes your leg stiff for protection but can be difficult to run in, I used it to play football, ended up taking them off because of the tightness and immobility it caused. Your better off purchasing a 2nd degree or 1st degree wrap if you want run in them. This is for 3rd degree ankle sprains. Don't get me wrong though there strong and great for it your not doing any physical activity and provide great protection for until you get back to 100%. Best of Luck.

I have run a spartan in these pants. I ran in a full plate carrier with a gasmask and these pants with boots. These pants held up just fine and I still wear them today for field geology and other outdoor activities. Just know these pants will weigh you down and limit your mobility, something you do not want to risk during OCRs since it could put you at a greater risk for injury.

Hi George - Oh the days when I had a 30 inch waist! I agree with the other posters here. I'd opt for small. I will also say that I've wear my pants at least three or four days a week. I've hiked in them, done yoga in them and they are really resilient. I have a small ember burn on one leg, but outsaide of that they are fairly indestructible.

I believe they would work well for skiing, they are thicker than standard thermal underwear, without being bulky. I think the activity statement pertains to construction or building trades.

They are a very relaxed fit. I would say they are more like snowboarding pants, with a loose fit through the legs. however, they are still comfortable and suitable for skiing or snowboarding.

Hi, they serve me well for gym warm ups - rapid walk & keeps me supported for standing work ours . However for strenuous leg workouts & squats I use knee strap over these pants . Das

Hi and yes - I wear this while running and am very comfortable when doing so. Colder than 45 degrees, I wear this over a dri fit long sleeve shirt over a tee shirt. A few miles into the run, I may have to unzip a bit (when weather closer to 45) and if it warms up, I've taken off and tied around my waist to complete my run - it's very light and lends itself to this well. It's been a great buy for me.

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

I don't know if this will be good for a mud run.These have skits on the side that goes up the thigh.If you sprint or do a forward push kick most of your leg will be exposed. I personaly don't like that but it gives you good range of motion.It does dry pretty well but i have only used tinto workout although i am a heavy sweater.If you do buy these for a mud run i would suggest wearing compressing. Pants under them to protect you legs and thighs for moisture and mud.One other thing try to get the correct size.if you get it to big it will flare out around the leg similar to a skirt or over sized shorts. Hope this helps. I don't know if this will be good for a mud run.These have skits on the side that goes up the thigh.If you sprint or do a forward push kick most of your leg will be exposed.

I am not a runner but can tell you that these socks are very for fitted. They do not slide down into the shoe. They make thinner versions for specific activities. But if you are running in cold weather these would serve well.

I'm 5'4, 125# and with a 29" waist. These fit tight, you have to work them up, but once they're on, they really hold stomach, lower back, thighs and knees in firmly. Great for cold weather running. You should be ok with a small.
