leggings? (want just leg coverage with a skin)

[Scotttyd]

odd title I know. I am looking for some sort of skin (1mm or so) that I can use to just cover my legs. I know I could buy compression pants or something like that, that I could wear under my trunks but was looking for something that might just go up past the knees or so. When I was in the Philippines several of the workers were wearing them. I don't need the warmth of a wet suit, but just want a little protection from the rocks in Bonaire.

thoughts?

A little rash guard legging makes a difference, mainly for the sun. If the rocks you hit against are sharp enough to damage bare skin leggings won't offer much protection. If the 'rocks' are living with defence mechanisms leggings can prevent some stings.

Something made of spandex or similar might be ideal.

I tried wearing panty hose, but I gave up on that when I realized that I would never look as good as Tim Curry.

Seriously though, something like this might fit the bill.

ryant for the win.

Ya - I think I will just pick up some nike compression pants - I avoid wearing a wetsuit if at all possible. The guy in the Philippines had skull and cross bones on his, I thought it would be cool to channel my inner pirate.

Yoga pants.

Look for surf tights. They have them for women, not sure about men.

If you don't want to wear another pair of "pants" and not going for warmth then long soccer socks work great.
