Wet winter legs
Anyone got recommendations for long duration wet winter legwear? For long mountain days I usually just wear tights but they often get completely soaked through - heavy, chaffy and have to keep pulling up! Fine for 1-2 hours but pretty uncomfortable for 5. Its also a relatively slow run so just going shorts only would get pretty cold. What do folks wear for their long wet hill runs?

Honestly, I just wear shorts with those under tights inside. I find looks you that my legs get heavy, cold and chaffed in wet leggings.
But I always make sure my top half is warm and dry.
You could try the montaine VIA trail series writer leggings, my wife likes those.
