Any recommendations for caprs for running/jogging for bigger gals? Thank you

What do you mean by "bigger gals"? Size large, extra large? I wear a large in tights and my favorite capris are Under Armour. I know they are pricey but I found these on the clearance rack at Dicks two seasons ago and love them. I won't pay full price for them.

I got a pair of Sugoi running capris here on TE that fit well. Not super cheap, but not super expensive, either. I wear them for all kinds of things.

Size XL. Thanks for the suggestions. I will check Target out and Under Armour(going to the UA outlet store next weekend).

I recently bought the Sugoi Jackie capri and the Brooks Infinity Capri. The Brooks are more compressive and are made of a thicker material. I like the Sugois but the part under my knee doesn't stay put very well. That said, I prefer them for warmer temps and indoor runs on the treadmill.

I have a couple models of capris that I like. I have Nike ones that have a little waterproof pocket in the back that is nice for things I don't want to get wet, like cell phone or money. I also have Pearl Izumi capris with a big mesh pocket. Super comfy. My biggest criteria with tights is seams that will hold up well to my beasty thighs. The PIs are great for this. I've been wearing their compression running shorts for years, too, since they are so durable.

I have four pair of Nike running capris. Two I bought at D1ck's, one at Kohls and one on clearance from the Nike website. LOVE them. They are super comfy, highly forgiving in terms of size and the zip pocket at the rear is a huge plus for me as a place to stow my car key. One of my pairs has mesh behind the knees too, so I like those for summer running.
They've all gotten a LOT of use and so far, are holding up very, very well. I'm amazed that the inner thighs have not disintegrated yet, but they still look great.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a pair or Fila(from Kohls) and C9(Target) and didn't like the look. Its probably that I'm just not to wearing something like these. Which ones are heavier - more compression like? What else do you wear for running, besides shorts? Thank you

I am not sure. Maybe that they are not constricting, and I always feel put together when I wear one. By looking at the 2 I have, at first I thought there was no way either would fit or not be tight in my regular size. I am petite and have a small-ish waist, but I have the usual cycling thighs and a bit of padding around my hips, despite my small size. I don't ever wear regular "jogging" shorts, as they make me look awful: wide. I have some longer Nike running shorts that look like bike shorts and those are OK, but the running skirt is really best for when it's warm or hot out. I'm not running now, but I wear these for walking or hiking, too.
