ISO Recommendations Compression Running Socks and Tri Shorts - Men's

My compression socks are for recovery purposes only and cover my calf's.  Not sure if that is the sort of compression socks you are talking about.  For running aspects I prefer thin non-padded socks with some sort of are band that don't absorb moisture.  Nothing special, just types you can get at department stores for Nike, UA, Reebox and other brands.

For Trishorts, I always went with the DeSoto brand with thin pad.  I use to love the fleece padded shorts, not too long or short, just right for me!
