@fesshole mate needs to learn about men's tights
@chrisjrn I suspect he's actually quite happy wearing women's tights.
I'm surprised women's tights are tough enough to survive that treatment. Men's skin is rougher than women's, and we're stronger and more aggressive in our movements. The inside of a pair of jeans isn't smooth, either.
Now long johns, OTOH — those I do recommend. I've been wearing the same five pairs in rotation for almost two winters now, and they're as good as new.
