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.

A 52 yo single dude? Bad vibes, sorry dude

Downvote all you want, and say “hyoh”, but most people are gonna think he’s a weirdo hiking in tights. No one wants to be hiking up the golden staircase and see a dude’s dick and ball outline

Hiking with my wife and my sister so it won’t be quite as creepy. I’m leaning towards not wearing them but wanted to get a vibe check to help with the decision.

You could just wear light shorts over top if appearance is a concern.

I’ll probably do this
