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 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.

I wore the Propper lightweight men's pants when I was working in 30-90 degree (mountains) Fahrenheit weather. Ideally they are comfortable in the spring and fall (50-80 degree F). If you are going to wear them in constant cold weather (close to or below freezing) I would wear thermals underneath to provide protection from the elements.

I have not worn them in lower than 40F. Between 50 an 60F, the pants are great! between 40 and 50F, it depends on how long I'm outside in them for, the longer I'm outside in them (more than 2 hrs), the longer I need to thaw out when I get home. Now, to put things in perspective, I live in NC where it does not get super cold like the Midwest, so the slightest cold bothers me. Hope this has helped.

I use mine for walking but I think they would be just fine for running. You can get the low padding ones to avoid bulk.

I haven't worn these outside while running in the winter. I have worn them in the winter (because I ran out of regular socks) for regular day activities and my feet get pretty cold if I'm outside.

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.

Yes/No.Yes: They keep me covered temperature wise on my ride to work, but I'm in sunny socal, so the whole climate is wind resistant. It's a thin outdoor/breathable material.No: These are shorts, with a breathable material.Would I use these to bike on a cold Chicago day, maybe, I'm a sweater, so it'd keep me balanced; but once you stop riding/moving around, the punishment would ensue. Hope this helps.

only shell pants. to wear in cold weather you would need to buy a few sizes larger and wear underclothes.

These have great compressive abilities, but I did not feel any significant thermal impact when I wore it. It does keep warm, but it was not noticeable enough for me to consider it that type of tight. Have you considered the SKINS S400/200 Women's Thermal Compression Long Tights ?

They breath a little to well for weather below 60. Below 40 and you wear them under your uniform pants ;-). But Yes you could wear them outside inthe winter. They do not repel water and It would be a poor choice, but you migth be one of those people who run hot.

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.

I can't knowledgeably answer this since I'm taller than you and haven't worn a small since, well, ever. If you think you're going to lose a few pounds, I might go with the xs. These are compression tights, so they are supposed to compress. There is nothing more annoying than tights that want to fall down while you're running.........

That's hard to answer... I live in AZ where it doesn't get that cold usually. I did wear them in the pouring rain in the low 40's...and they were warm enough for me. I would probably wear them in 30 degrees if I was dry.

I am not sure if I am the one to answer that question -I live in Phoenix AZ - I know that they are very secure & you can wear them in several position ( mine came with instructions) I have worn mine in as cold as 35 degrees and have been very satisfied but it is not lined with extra material, you can however bunch it up for extra thickness around the areas you want to keep warm

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)
