Jerry's (brand)
Jerry's is a long-standing skating-specialist label that makes men's and boys' skating pants and tights cut for jumps and spins, with over-the-boot and footed options.
Not for: Men preparing for competitions run under ISU rules, which require trousers rather than tights, and anyone who wants a matched competition set.

Mondor (brand)
I’d choose Mondor for its skating-focused apparel and stretchy, close-fitting options that allow freedom of movement.
Not for: Skaters wanting loose-fitting pants or substantial insulation.
Claude also lists Mondor among the brands that matter.

Can men compete in skating tights?
