Do Athletes Wear Women's Tights to Stay Warm?

[wolram]

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.

But there are men's thermal underwear.

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?

Something like this:

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.

 

[NeoDevin]

Men in tights?

 

[rhody]

Stay tuned for : Borek vs D H in Mentor Wars... I feel a thread lock here coming soon to a theatre near you.

Rhody...

P.S.

Picture William Shatner in tights today, Yikes...

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

-40C?

are you serious? you must live in siberia with temp that low

 

[Adyssa]

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

 

[lisab]

-40C?

I'm sure he really meant -40F.

 

[KrisOhn]

Yep I'm serious.

Nope, -40C, and that's just landlocked central Saskatchewan for you...
The coldest average temp in Saskatoon is -23C, but it can be much, much colder than that.

 

[Kinase]

^-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.

 

[arabianights]

I'm sure he really meant -40F.

you do realize that -40F is the same as -40C, right?

 

[Drakkith]

I was not aware that tights were specifically womens attire.

i learned that fact from watching Stargate Continuum, when they're trapped in Antarctic

I learned that firsthand when I was a student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks!

Well also, I can do the math haha

 

[DaveC426913]

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.

what planet do you come from or have i missed something in my 60yrs of life.

 

[turbo]

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.

What if the .01% is Joe Namath? We have to have priorities.

who is Joe Namath?

 

[wolram]

AH, Found him.

Joseph William "Joe" Namath nicknamed "Broadway Joe" or "Joe Willie", is a former American football quarterback. He played college football for the University ...

He was OK

Not a lot has changed I hear after I lived in Moose Jaw in 1977 and a couple of blizzards. Oh and don't worry about -40F or C, it;s different in Kelvin anyway.

Yep. I had to walk 3 miles to school in -40 degree temperature, in a blizzard lasting 3 days, through snow drifts way over my head. On top of that it was uphill both ways.

One time my sister and I and another brother/sister were the only ones who showed up for school after a viscious storm . The teacher hadn't even made it in so we played around on the drifts that piled up on the leeward side around the carigana trees. The brother slid down from the top and kicked me in the head with his boot ( by accident ) but my big sister still beat the crap out of him.

Man! I hate when that happens!
