2XU Women's Recovery Compression Tights

**UpdateWell, I have worked out in them several times-weights, not running. I am still not impressed. I still see no difference in recovery and as far as compression, my jeggings work, however at least these tights aerate well. The tag still hurts like hell but I have taken to folding it over to avoid the scratch ups that incur, however to continually fold it back over through out the workout is annoying--mainly because I have this seed planting in my head that I paid soo much for this annoyance and I just don't see why. I dropped it down to one star because it isn't worth more.First off, delivery was scheduled for 11/14 I received them 11/12 @ 6:30pm, no time to test them out just yet but I did put them on for size. Guys...I was wearing jeggings before I put these on. Same fit, except these 'compression' pants are looser in the crotch plus there is an inside tag that is MURDERING my skin with it's sharp edges. Ok, shirt tucked. I see no difference in feel from these versus a pair of nylons I'd wear in the 80's (just dated myself huh). And there are a few strings handing down from the inside showing on the outside that I will not cut off yet. *Disclaimer* I have not worked out in them yet. I purchased the recovery tights for my heavy barbell leg work (squats, DL's, lunges, etc) in hopes of a better circulatory/lactic acid recovery, etc.I'll work out tomorrow and let you know how I feel the next day. Stay tuned, but my gut says, for the price, I was better off with nylon jeggings therefore I give it 2 stars because so far....I'm not impressed.

I am a personal trainer & am on my feet constantly. I have already had 1 varicose vein surgery & don't especially like wearing the compression stockings from the doctors. I had read on another review that a husband bought these tights for his wife who was a nurse working 12 hour shifts & was concerned about varicose veins. These are very comfortable & my legs don't bother me at all when I wear them all day. The only thing that bothered me was the sizing chart. I am 5'9 & weigh 142 lbs. According to the chart I needed a medium. Next pair I buy will be a medium tall. I have bigger, more muscular legs so they take up more of the material so the they weren't long enough. Other than that, I love them! Would definitely recommend them.

I definitely notice a difference when I wear these for a few hours (or overnight) after a long workout. I have noticed a quicker recovery after lifting, running, and playing roller derby. I would have given five stars if not for the waste band. I wish it was wider so it didn't dig in. I also don't like the little pocket inside that digs into my hip bone. In my opinion, pockets are NOT necessary for recovery pants like they are tights worn during workout.

They are awesome! The shipping was faster than expected and the company was great. Tights are much tighter than the regular compression tights. Was worried that the material would not be moisture wicked but they are and are awesome. They are not as long as expected but the compression is great!Updated: After having these for a couple of months, you cannot plan to run in these. The compression is far to tight and will give you hip pain. I would still recommend them but for recovery only. Do not plan to be able to do much wearing them besides resting.

I was hesitant to buy these at first because they are so expensive. But I'm so glad that I did! I was preparing for my marathon and about to race soon, so I wanted to make sure that I was optimizing my recovery. I have used these much more than I ever expected. They aren't that hard to get on and certainly help! I've used many different brands for running recovery equipment and was very impressed with the high quality of these leggings. 2XU has definitely won me over as a loyal customer!

I bought these tights to wear solely for recovery; however, after trying them on, I decided to do a 6 mile run in these! They are awesome!! I am not an accomplished runner, but ran 6 miles w/ absolutely no muscle fatigue! On shorter runs w/o the tights, I would feel extremely stiff and have both hamstring & calf pain. These tights gave me the right amount of compression & support to complete the run! Even when I wore them after a shorter run, the compression was perfect to help relieve & restore my muscles!I highly recommend these if you are having problems with post-workout muscle fatigue, or have trouble w/ longer runs because of muscle fatigue! A+ Product!!

I received my 2XU Women's Compression Recovery Tights with a number of holes running across the thigh of the right leg. The holes were definitely there in the package because I opened the box with extreme care. At the price I paid for these pants ($127.11) this is absolutely ridiculous.Here is a picture of the holes: /var/folders/rr/pc2npz9s2bbdp3m3sx__k33c0000gn/T/com.apple.iChat/Messages/Transfers/IMG_0941.JPGThe day i received these pants I had to leave for a trip to Europe. I needed to use the pants on my flight and so had no option but to do my best to sew the holes and keep the pants.However as this problem was entirely a result of poor manufacturing and this seller not checking the quality of their product, I feel that I was put in an unfair position and that I should still be allowed to return the pants or be sent an new replacement pair. I can understand a mistake but if this seller does nothing to make reparations, I am definitely never coming back to purchase items from them again and would strongly advise other potential buyers to look elsewhere as well.

I went without them for an 18 mile long run and ran over 30 seconds/mile slower than without them. My legs were "dead" and very heavy. I wore them for a 25K race last week and beat my personal best. I was not sore and the weather was in the 50's F and were very comfortable. I have a half marathon this weekend with high 60's projected temp. Going to wear them and see how they feel in warmer weather. My favorite running temp is the 30's so we will see how it goes.

I've used sports shoes.com for lots of different products over the last few years and never been disappointed. Excellent choice, great value and good efficient delivery. The compression tights I ordered are excellent, I have 4 or 5 pairs, unfortunately the reflective pattern comes off no matter how you wash / dry them. 2xu really need to sort this as the tights look past it way before they are even close.

Also der Versand war zügiger als angekündigt. Größe M war eher für 36/38 da doch sehr eng. Die Rücknahme der kleineren Hose war problemlos. Rückerstattung zügig. Nur das Rückporto als Brief mußte man selber zahlen. Aber kein Ding. Dafür hatte man die Auswahl. Sitzt prima und super Qualität. Wieder zu empfehlen.

Ich bin begeistert von der Recovery Hose und würde mir sofort wieder eine kaufen! Das war eine gute Entscheidung, da der Effekt wirklich super ist. Egal ob vor oder nach dem Training, die Hose ist immer dabei.

As with the rest.

Easy to order, very quick post. Tights are well made - I wanted them for recovery - they seem to help and pleased I purchased them!
