"I will watch for sales on these and try other brands too. I don't know if it is possible to make them more breathable and a little cooler. I am wondering if I could stay comfortable in these during the warmer months."trinewby

(5)

Ease of installation

Installed them on my legs in less than a minute.

(5)

Ease of use

Just walk normally after installation.

(0)

Quality of Construction

Seems very good, but I have had them only a couple of days. Haven't been through the wash yet.

(4)

Fit

My leg and inseam measurements didn't fit perfectly in the Small or Medium sizes on the chart, but I was given a size medium that is supposed to be for someone with a 32" waist. I am about a 30"-31", but they seem to fit well with reasonably good compression.

(4)

Comfort

You forget you have them on after an hour or two, unless you have them on under your regular clothes and you are just hanging around the house inside. Then, they get a little warm. I have the full length version, the shorts might be cooler, but I really need the calf support.

(5)

Adjustability

They have a drawstring, but these are compression tights. They aren't going to fall off if you don't tie it.

(0)

Durability

To soon to tell.

(3)

Value

They cost $100 at the local tri store, but these were a gift, so the value was great for me.

(4)

Appearance

The giant "2XU" logo on the legs can't be missed. They look cool if you are into the big logo thing, I guess. I plan to wear them under street clothes.

(0)

Customer Service

No interaction with customer service yet.

Performance

I was quite a skeptic of compression garments, but interested to find out if they really work. However, I wasn't willing to drop $100 to find out. Yesterday, I did a 7.5 mile LSD run on the treadmill that normally leaves my quads, calves, and hams sore the following day. After my run and shower, I put these tights on and wore them the rest of the day, about 11 hours. Well, today, the soreness in my legs is substantially reduced. On a scale of 1-10, soreness was typically about a 7 before, and today it is about a 2. Pretty unbelievable to this skeptic.

Strengths

They work.

Weakness

Haven't found any yet unless you consider the price most compression garments have.
