Comments about Womens 2XU Compression Fitted Tights:

These are my first pair of compression tights. I tend to suffer from IT-Band Syndrome and these tights help tremendously, after running a half marathon I felt no pain. They're so comfortable, they hug you in all the right places. I just wish the manufacture would improve the waist band. Ideally a thicker band would make these tights perfect.

I run about 40 miles a week and about 15 half and full marathons a year, so I definitely need some GOOD compression pants to help with my stiff calves and achy knees. Don't waste your money on the trendy prettier pants from other brands... these pants are about the same price, but definitely geared more towards performance.

Performance wise, these pants definitely get 5 stars. I've had bouts where my knee was so bad it would literally hurt just to walk on it, but as soon as I put on the pants, I could run 10 miles and not feel anything. The only downside is that once I took them off, everything would ache again. When I'm at work, I actually look forward to going home and putting them on again! The material is also very high quality - I can wear these running 5 days in a row without washing, and they dry within an hour and don't smell at all!

So why only 4 stars? The waist parts are a little uncomfortable. The waist band is very thin and tight, which makes it digging into my sides, which is why I don't wear them all the time (I totally would if it weren't for this). If they were to make it wider and more elasticy, that wold solve the problem. Also, the waist band strings are designed to tie on the inside of the pants for some reason, also causing another pressing point digging into my skin.
