Saucony running tights cover everything from daily training to the start line. The range is organized into collections, each with its purpose, and once you know the differences, choosing takes under a minute. At RunningXpert, you'll find Saucony running tights for both women and men in full length and shorter models.

Fortify is the versatile tights for most of the year. The fabric is recycled nylon with spandex, stretching in all directions and fitting like a second skin without tightening. The weight is around 240 grams per square meter, thick enough to maintain shape after many washes and thin enough to work from early spring to late autumn. Several models have mesh panels at the calves to release heat when the pace increases, and there are pockets at the waist and thigh for phone and keys.

Elite is the competition collection. Here, the priority is low weight and quick moisture transport away from the skin, so the tights don't get heavy in the last kilometers. The waist has an internal drawstring for fine-tuning, there's a zip pocket at the back for gels, and ankle zippers make them easy to take on and off with shoes still tied. This detail matters more than it sounds when changing in a cold locker room before the start.

Hurricane is the cold end of the range. The fabric is stretchy and heat-giving with wind-resistant properties, and the fit is kept tight so the wind doesn't catch under the fabric. Several models come in a dedicated wind version with a windproof panel on the front of the legs, which makes the real difference between a cold and a comfortable run in January.

Choose based on temperature and purpose rather than season. Over ten degrees, Fortify handles most, Elite is for fast sessions and competition days year-round, and Hurricane is for around freezing and below or when the wind is the dominant factor. If you're unsure how much to wear, our guide to running clothes year-round explains how to dress from summer heat to frost.

If the tights are for use in the dark, look for reflective details at the ankles, as that's where movement makes you visible to drivers. A running jacket on top also makes it possible to extend the same tights over several months, as the outer layer takes the wind and can be packed away when you're warm.

For really cold runs, it's rarely the legs that give up first. Hats and gloves often determine whether a run is comfortable, as fingers and ears cool down fastest, while the tights keep the rest of the body warm on their own.
