Winter is coming....What leggings do you wear?

Andy, men in leggings have free soloed harder than you would ever be capable of top roping. |

the demasculinization of the American male is complete...... |

You know it’s funny, I was just listening to some guys at a climbing event the other night joking about the colorful tights they wore in the 80s. The butt of the joke was essentially the same: “haha, men (especially older ones) shouldn’t wear stuff like that”. I laughed along and told them that they are all boring now. Begs the question though, was the “demasculinization of the American male” complete 40 yrs ago? Or does fashion, and comfort levels with standing out in a crowd, vary with time? Honestly though, what is “unmasculine” about tights? Can any of you probable homo/femmephobes give an honest answer? |

The men on the rigs would wear women's nylon stockings frequently. Reduced chafing and added a small degree of warmth. Not a person on this site that would tell any of those men they are not masculine. |

I climb rock, ice, and ride bikes year round in Minnesnowta. I highly recommend the Patagonia Capilene Air (pricey). They work fantastic under hard shells or soft shells or jeans. Biking in last years polar vortex at -20F, I wore those and a heavy softshell pant. As long as I kept moving, I was fine. |

These have gotten me through the last several seasons of rock, ice, skiing and commuting. Very happy with them. |
