2XU Men's Compression Tights

This is my third purchase of a 2XU product. The fit and length of these pair of tights are great; the size chart (based on size and weight) is pretty accurate too. Performance-wise, it does reduce the chances of muscle soreness/injury, and fatigue during and after (with prolonged wear) training etc. Overall, the compression level is well-balanced, and not overly tight, unlike the SKINS A200 long compression tights which I have also tried. Putting them on is much easier too, as compared to the SKINS A200 tights. The cooling and moisture-wicking effect of the breathable mesh is fantastic. Based on experience, the only downside to the product is perhaps the tendency and rate at which the logos peel-off (inside and outside of the garment).

I went to dick's sporting goods to try on a few brands. After trying under amour, reebok, and Nike. I decided to buy some Nike pro combat compression tights. I thought these were very comfortable and provided what I'd get out of any brand... Well after getting curious and ordering a pair of 2xu's I found out just how wrong I was. First off the draw string... Every compression tight should have these!! I have big thighs and it always causes a looseness in the waiste. These tights fit so well!!!! They feel like a much better compression and the hug my 'important' area very well. All the brands I tried did not do this. Because of my thighs they were always loose there. I'm 6ft2 and weigh 225lbs. I ordered the medium long and they are perfect. Not very hard to put on. Just amazing flexibility and overall compression. My feet are usually cold, but when I wear these they stay warm. Maybe the improved circulation? Anyway, you will not be sorry if you buy these and right now they are cheaper than Nike's at Dicks.

I would have never thought that as a guy,I would be wearing tights for my leg related workouts. Further, I never new how beneficial these are to your leg circulatory system AND to your ability to increase endurance during "leg" intensive exercises and recovery from exercise.. These are just amazing! You will notice the difference on your first leg intensive work out,Some possible "suggested" improvements could include:1) Make a more "supportive" pocket for the "fellas" in the crotch area. No need to compress these guys, right? If this is done some of us may have to wear shorts to cover "that" specific area from prying eyes and prudes but he comfort level would be several magnitudes better for these tights! AND, our voice wouldn't become "high pitched" when doing "squat" exercises from the "compression" of the fellas. I'm just say'n..............2) Add about 1.5 to 2 inches to the waist height height of the product to keep the tops from "rolling over" during intense leg exercises.That's it! Very good product otherwise!

I love these tights!! I've had a pair of 2XUs (shorts) which I've worn many times for years. They were already really good, very comfy and light. Also the stitching doesn't seem to wear off even subjected to extensive abrasion. There's bound to be area where the stitching rubs against each other, but the material/thread used here is really good and tough. I have other brands of compression tights and the threads are not so hardy, they do come off after sometime.These "newer" 2XUs are lighter feel and have a "silkier" feel to it. Pretty much like not wearing anything! And I like it that they incorporated the small pocket for keys etc, my earlier ones didn't.Word of advise, choose the right size, typically a size SMALLER works better.

I goofed and accidentally got this from a non-Prime Vendor - Lyons Trading Company, who did not stand behind the product! The size chart is WAY OFF!My numbers put me at the low end of "Large". As it turned out XL ( from a Prime vendor) just fits. Lyons would not pay for return shipping! What's worse - I paid extra for exoidited shipping, for a particular event and they were far too short and tight. ALL A WASTE OF MONEY! They still sit in the ship back box.

I recently did a comparison of recovery type tights. I believe that a big part of it is how the tights fit you, and everyone fits differently, but here are my thoughts.Skins Men’s RY400 – My winner. They provide great compression – snug, but not uncomfortable. They fit very well and are very comfortable, the best of all I’ve tried. I like that they are thin so if I wear them under my pants, I won’t sweat too much. So, thin + good compression + good comfort = my favorite compression tights.CW-X Men’s Perform X Tights – My runner up favorite. They provide good compression and the compression seems to be in the right spots. They fit nicely, though they are a little thick, I would be very happy with this one.Zoot Sports Men’s Ultra 2.0 CRX Tights – I really liked these, they have the best compression and the compression seems to be the best targeted as well – tight where you need it and not tight where you don’t (knees). Having said that, they are not the most comfortable to wear walking around under your pants and they are very very thick, almost like medical type tights. I think this would be a big problem in summer. So if the thickness doesn’t bother you and you don’t really plan to use them under any pants to walk around, I think they are really great for sitting around the house for recovery.2XU Men’s Compression Tights – ok, but a little hard to pull over my feet because of the small foot opening. Nothing spectacular on the compression, but seemed to fit ok and although not my favorite, I believe they would work.Orca Men’s Killa Kompression Tights – I really wanted to like these, because my tri suit is Orca, but they just were not so comfortable, not so great with compression, and really really hard to get on my legs because the foot opening is so small.
