Subject: RE: *NOT* compression tights? I have the CW-X Ventilator pants. Love 'em to pieces. Not crazy about how they look, but they certainly do the job. They help support your muscles and minimize vibrations which lead to fatigue. During a long run, in the latter miles, you can really feel the difference. Atleast I can. Case in point, I wore them recently for a very hilly 15k race - lots of punishing downhill pounding. Throughout the race my legs felt fantastic. Seconds after the race I took them off and walked around. Immediatley after taking them off I could feel a few areas aching - my knees especiallu. So they work beautifully for me. I wore them today on my bike and they made my legs feel like a million bucks, even a day after running a half marathon. And they absolutely are compression. They are actually targeted compression panels. Honestly, I wish they just made them in a solid black color, as the striped patterns are ridiculous looking, but from my experience - they really do the job of supporting my muscles and staving off fatigue. I write this as I wear my Zoot CompressRX Recovery tights. Thank God for compression. Edited by Dream Chaser 2009-03-30 8:10 PM
