Do they really work?
Does anyone here use them?
If so, any recommendations?

Hey andy
I've used 2xu comp tights for 2 years for running in the winter and recovery after a hard slog
Also use the 1000 mile compression socks for protecting the calfs
Can't compare them to any other brands but they seem to work for me,the muscles in my pins feel much better the next day
Cheers
Carl

The one guy I saw wearing them in a race (Sam Gardner at a Nationals) finished 4-5 minutes of anyone else - maybe there's something to them!

Why don't you just buy a pair of really tight skinny fit jeans? It'll do the same thing :D

Well I got the socks now, it's a good workout just putting them on! Was then too tired to actually do any exercising ...

Gonna need all the help I can I just saw Sam Gardner won the off-road duathlon I'm doing next month last year!!
