So my Christmas money is burning a hole in my pocket and I’m after a pair of decent running tights. I’ve been looking at Gore / Ronhill for around the £30/35 mark, but for an extra £20 I could go all out and get a pair of 2XU compression tights. I’ve heard they’re the mutts nuts, but for the extra cash are they a worthwhile investment?

Chain Reaction Cycles sells them.
Hi there,
my wife bought me a pair for Christmas (2XU 50d) and I've worn them twice
3 mile beach run, very comfortable and kept me at a nice temperature through out the run (in cold conditions), overall very good
12 mile fell run, again comfortable and kept me warm for the majority of the run (got a little cool at 850ft, camelback froze!!) other than that great, did start to get some slight chaifage between the legs at the end of the run,
I'm happy with them and will continue to use them for sure!!
P.S
my legs still hurt like hell after a good run with or without!!!!
cheers
I have a pair of skins ones and 2XU, in comparison I would say that I prefer the 2XU ones because they make my legs feel better, and they also provide good compression for a longer period. What I mean by this is the skins give great compression just after they are washed, but after a long wear or 2 the compression goes. The 2XU compression never goes! Highly recommended! I have one pair (the elite ones with the grey stripe) for racing, and a pair of the standard ones for recovery
Still get DOMS after a hard run.. but I can walk down stairs with the tights on.. which is a bonus. And the missus says they look good!
I would buy again - probably the more expensive 70 dernier!
Final question, what are your chosen undergarments. Do people go commando like on the bike, or does wearing kegs have no effect on the tights?
