Are these suitable by themselves with a muscle shirt top for outdoor running and biking?

I've used these for running, working out with weights, biking and other activities. They are great!

Yes. I bought these for my husband to use while working out. He loves them!

I have used them for mountain biking and they do an acceptable job protecting my knees and shins. I am not sure that type of protection might be comfortable for climbing and will stay in place if you take traumatic steps, small jumps, etc. I believe a tube fabric with plastic inserts might work better for you. Just a thought.

I have done without on short runs with no problems. In very windy conditions I would still use them to reduce stress on your roof rack.

I will say yes. I recommend getting it to fit like a under Armour shirt. Which they are designed to fit that way. I think it would work fine. As long as you have a shirt over it. This will help hold it in place better when running.

I wear them when I ride my bike. Everyone once in a while, they become loose and I need to stop and tighten the straps. I wouldn't recommend wearing them while running, but that would a decision you would need to make for yourself.

they are a firm fit but reasonably heavy.would probably work on low impact excersize bike. rowing etc but don't think it would be comfortable bouncing on a treadmill jogging or reclining

Probably not well. They're not THAT tight on your head, especially if you're planning on running or even using an elliptical or just lifting. I would recommend these for deskwork, but earbuds for working out.

I wouldn't. They provide some wrist support, but I think you are risking some damage if you aren't wrapped up, and properly padded. I like these for getting a good cardiovascular workout on the bag. They are so much easier to put on by yourself, that they are great for that type of exercise.

Haven't tried it because it hasn't been hot where I live yet since I got em... But I think they are light enough to wear in warmer weather. I work out indoors with them and don't get hot.

No, they're made to keep you cool so the wind goes through them. They are warmer than bike shorts and with decent socks and warmer underwear warmer than bike shorts

I would say that yes, if you are of a medium build, you could wear it discreetly under a shirt. Amazon has a very liberal return policy, so you can easily return it if it doesn't work out for you.

I haven't tried to, but it should be fine. Note the back is longer than the front, so it will hang over the butt. Its elastic at the waist, so you can push it up away from the butt, assume you do not put anything in the pockets. It's designed for normal forward riding position while cycling. If you plan to use for both running and cycling, it would be fine. For just running, I would find a normal wind breaker.

No, they're a lightweight, durable hiking/climbing pant. Tights or long underware under them makes them a good bet for the shoulder seasons.

Yes, you can. They get sweaty though and will need washing much more frequently than if you just wear them for non-athletic use.

The short answer is no, I am wearing the second pair (I wore out the first pair after about 4 years or so). They are totally comfortable, don't scratch or chafe. They fit snug but not tight. I don't run or ride a bike, but do a fair amount of walking during the day and am not aware of them unless I consciously think about them. I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees and they provide comfortable support.
