Saucony

Running regularly, I found that a few producers of running gear were making tights as well, and the first running tights I bought were these from Saucony. Generally running tights were not as colourful as the rockclimbing tights, and these are no exception, being black with a purple line along the legs and an orange stripe across. Although still a mix of nylon and lycra, the lycra content is smaller that in most of my other tights, and the surface of the fabric is more cotton-like. Thus these Saucony tights are not very stretchy and not comfortable neither when running nor climbing. This pic is from a mountain trip from Chamonix in August 1993, and the only trip they've made. I have not used them since, and with one of my climbing partners I swapped them for another pair of pants in 2003.
