In summary: Yep I'm serious.Nope, -40C, and that's just landlocked central Saskatchewan for you...Thanks for the clarification, Captain! So it's not just for athletes, then?The coldest average temp in Saskatoon is -23C, but it can be much, much colder than that. For instance, in January 1945, the average temperature in Saskatoon was -48.9C.

I was talking to this guy about feeling the cold, he told me that athletes wear women's tights
to keep warm, i told him he must be nuts if i were to believe him, imagine going to a public loo
and having to disrobe to get your pecker out.
so was he being honest or just pulling my leg?

A lot of men do, Captain Kirk wears women's pantyhose when he rides horses. He got Captain Jean Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) to wear them.

But there are men's thermal underwear.

TMI. And no images, please. That would be way, way too much information.

Modern underwear designed for skiing (for instance) is a lot closer to women's tights than it is to the bulky long johns of old.

I bough tights for a winter biking. Something like this:

I am surprised how warm they are.

You do realize that this post will result in a Trekker mass suicide, right?

Hey! I said no images, please!

Next thing you know the female members of our staff will start posting images of men in tights that absolutely fry their brains.

It is well documented that the sight of women in bikinis fry men's brains: http://www.jstor.org/pss/10.1086/525505. (And yes, this journal is listed in Reuter-Thomson.) I'm sure a similar effect exists on women. The advertising world certainly must think this effect exists.

Omg, this is getting more extreme, where is the fly hole? one would have to strip all most
naked to have a pee.

For everyday use I just use thermal underwear, but I do a lot of biking up here no matter the weather. When I'm biking in January or early February it's usually in excess of -40C and for those days I wear biking tights and thermal underwear.

I think Borek would look good in panty hose, as long as he shaves his legs first.

Skins are pretty popular these days. My sister wears them for exercise, but so do plenty of guys. The compression they provide enhances oxygen flow to the muscles apparently.

I used to run, but I wore shorts. :P

The coldest average temp in Saskatoon is -23C, but it can be much, much colder than that.

^-40C is -40F yeah? they're the same.
I don't even wear tights or thermal underwear when I ski. Just under armour coldgear sweatpants and snowpants. I guess they might be warm. I never tried it.

A common mistake. 40F is much, MUCH colder than -40F.

An American goes out on a day when it's -40F and his frank & beans freeze solid and fall off.

A Canadian goes out on a day when it's -40C and has to put a hat on.

My boss in HS was a class-A ski-racer. I was ski patrol, and he was the boss. He used to wear nylon socks so that he could don his thin insulated socks to race with. 40+ years ago, custom fitted boots were unheard of. Times have changed.

Tights are non-manly around here. Still, it would not behoove you to criticize the boss for wearing nylons to prevent chafing and blisters. He was a monster on the slopes. One year, he challenged everybody to try to race him down the intermediate trail. Every Sunday, we'd have a timed competition. It would cost you 50 cents to enter, and if you could get within 5 seconds of his time over that 1.5mile trail, you'd win a two-day pass to the mountain. He didn't have to hand out many passes. At 50 cents per challenger, the operators of the mountain did quite well.

These days, challenges like that would be forbidden, due to "legal issues".

Time to kill this thread, AFAICMO 99.9% of males do not wear panty hose.
