Rocket-Boy Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Quick question: What night run lights are people using?Disclaimer: It's probably been covered but 26 pages is too much on a Thu morning...I use one of these for trail running at night.We have a very cool series of night runs down here so need something decently powerful.
Rocket-Boy Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I had slight chafe once when I ran in my fox rangers, other than that, no problemo. That being said I have not gone further than 30k, suppose anything more would be stupid without skipants.I cant run further than 5ks without getting bad chafe!I do have big legs though and my thighs touch so maybe its just me.
SeaBee Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Shorts - any light running shorts. But NOT those hyper short ones the "roadies" like. Currently have Nike and Adidas ones, both works perfectly. On the topic of chafing, also started developing an inner thigh chafe of late now that I start running further. Plan to wear old compression shorts under my shorts on longer runs to alleviate the problem. Who cares what it looks like?!  Light: I recently got a LED Lenzer - I think it's the EOS 5 version - the red one, anyways. Not this heckuva battery pack and gives a nice light - enough for the pace I run at, anyways! (Just a funny halo effect which I only noticed on the last run, but that might be due to the focus ring, which I haven't really played with.) Dew/rain drops next to the path catching the lights on dark runs still take my breath away! Love it... Beesrib 1
Pieter1 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I can't find a pic of the light I have but it's a 100lm thing I think. Uses 3 aaa bateries and works fine enough. I would like something with a bit more oemf tho.
Beesrib Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I agree, it gets really painful if they start to chafe a 1/4 of the way in.So normal shorts are a no no for me either unless if they have those tight-like inners. I don't have skinny legs, so chafing is a problem. Luckily as a cyclist as well I am comfortable in just a pair of tights without over-shorts.

(without the short part). Beesrib 1

First Ascent, Nike, New Balance and sometimes Asics short toights can also be found at Total and Sportmans. Sometimes they're more marketed towards sprinters, but there's no real difference in the usefulness IMO.
roskii Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 If you can still find them, then grab a pair of First Ascent Magnitude Shorts. Best in the business. Otherwise grab their new X-Trail tights. http://www.firstascent.co.za/shop/mens-x-trail-short-tights/
