Affordable men’s tights/shorts

LoftyAu on 28/12/2022 - 15:54

I do a reasonable amount of hiking and walking and wear tights/Lycra shorts under my regular clothes to help with keeping ticks/leeches off my legs, chafing and so on.

I used to buy the Aldi ones but the last lot have not lasted. It seems a big jump in price to name brands (Nike, 2XU etc). Any recommendations for something decent but okay price?

My wife can grab basic tights for $10 from Shein so was even considering trying from there, although the quality seems pretty low. Guess I’m looking for something between Aldi and 2XU in terms of price … oh and something other than black would be nice …

    Do you need the compression aspect, or would something like StepOne boxers work for you? That's what I wear daily to stop chafing, as they have lycra where the thighs rub and they don't ride up on me. All the pairs I've got have lasted 12+ months each, and they're on sale reasonably often.

    For reference, I've got pretty thick thighs and the last "hike" I did was ~4hrs at 32c pushing through thick vegetation in a very hilly area helping with a missing person search event. No chafing at all.

      Not so much compression, but certainly length for when hiking (leg covering) for when it's not too warm to wear long stuff. I've tried StepOne before and found it a bit ho-hum, but might try it again as that was many years ago.

        I always used to chafe walking anywhere until I got step 1s… i have the longer ones as I've got bigger thighs. I also do a whole lot of hiking and haven;t had any chafing issues, though they aren't long enough to stop leeches haha. I use these thin Nike long pants tucked into socks to stop the leeches attaching to my skin - https://www.rebelsport.com.au/p/nike-mens-dri-fit-woven-team…

    Buy the 2xu second hand?

      You mean outlet? Have looked there now and then but never really cheap.

        Second hand, as in some other human has worn it before.

    Consider Decathalon - big sports/adventure store available in Sydney (originally from Europe somewhere). They ship Australia wide.

    Have tried some of their clothes, would last 12m+

    KMart is the place to be… (well at least for me…)
