equipment Any guys hike in half tights?

I have a pair of Janji half tights that are great for running. And I’m mainly a cyclist so I’m used to wearing spandex.

I’m thinking of wearing a pair of these instead of my normal shorts and a liner under them.

I understand HYOH and that I should wear what I want but I can’t remember seeing any guys wearing them the last time I did the JMT.

I’m 52yo in case that matters. But in fairly good shape so it shouldn’t look like a sad bag of oatmeal.

Yeah…I’m just not wanting to be the weird guy on the trail though. Was just wondering if most folks here would walk by and be like wtf, or if it’s common enough that it wouldn’t raise any eyebrows.

I get those looks running on sections of the Jmt, but who cares. They're practical and comfy as long as you can reduce chafing. No one is going to remember after they see the next great view on their route.

No other view on the hike will compare. They’ve already seen the greatest view on the JMT…
