Compression Gear
Enhanced recovery and comfort for before, during and after training and racing.
Compression gear: does it work? That depends on what you are looking for it to do. If you are looking for miracles that infomercials promise, you will be disappointed. If you want enhanced recovery and comfort, compression gear absolutely delivers.
Brands
2XU
2XU now has an extensive line of products from compression leggings to cycling and triathlon gear, including wetsuits.
Basic pieces we suggest for me are the core compression long short and the core compression tights. Either of these can be worn alone or layered underneath baggy shorts or tights for modesty or wind protection.
For women, 2XU provides more colour and print options but the quality and support provided in teh core compression group is the same as the men's core compression pieces mentioned about. Try one or two pairs in either a full length or capri length, in solid black, a solid colour or a print and you'll want more!
CW-X
CW-X compression features their patented EXO-WEB Technology. Basically, it's like K-taping sewn into the garment. There are a few different configurations of K-taping built into different models. You would typically select the model that provides the optimum support for your areas of weakness or vulnerability (groin, hamstring, knee stabilty, IT band, lower back). But, most models are suitable for any runner or triathlete. They are on the higher end of the price scale but they are very durable and very comfortable. Within a few workouts, you will agree that they are worth every penny.
We were able to get selected colours and prints of the Stabilyx, Pro and Generator Revolution tights at which are the printed and patterned versions. They are normally more expensive but with the discounted pricing, the printed models are the same price as the regular tights and the Generator Revolution tights are 25% off.
