Compression gear for running is worn by many. But, is it worth it?
Compression gear has been a part of my running wardrobe for many years and I have found it to have a number of benefits.
That being said most of the reported benefits of compression gear have not been inconclusively proven to be fact by science.
Some of the compression gear benefits that people experience are as follows:
-Increased comfort, breathability, flexibility.
-Increased blood flow to muscles which improves athletic performance.
-Injury prevention
-Reduced DOMS.
So, is compression gear worth it? And in particular, is compression gear good for runners?

Just purchased my first 2 pairs of compression half tights... Oh boy... I've become that guy! 😆

I’ve some compression gear, mainly use it as base layer in colder weather. I’ve got a couple of Sub sports tops: one vest one long sleeve - great value and REALLY tight fitting, my wife has to peel me out of them if it’s been raining. I’ve also got Under Amour shorts and tights, put the shorts on recently and the waist band folded over at my gut 😆 think I need to get out running more. I think they help on long runs of 10 miles plus for me. Gave this vid a thumbs up on the intro, good work made me smile 😁

@PeterMRiley 3 года назад

Thanks for liking and watching! I can relate to the struggle of getting out of compression gear at times. It's not a nice feeling when you're stuck in an item of clothing!

@BrendonCamm 3 года назад

I've been curious about compression gear for a while.. I've had them in the cart a few times and always bail. May have to give some a shot! Have a great weekend Peter.

@PeterMRiley 3 года назад

Thanks, you too. Yeah go for it Brendon. Worth a go I reckon.

I mean if you have stiff muscles like myself. Regardless what you do. Found about compression when my blood kept on pooling into my feet and felt lightheaded. Tippy toed into it via Compression Socks at 20-25mmhg. => oh wow, it actually worked. => ordered compression tights at 20-30 mmhg rated because my thighs were heavy. => I got it yesterday and the measure in difference in vertical jump is roughly 20%. This only applies if you have stiff muscles that cramps regardless. Vertical Jump without compression: 21 inches Vertical Jump with compression: 28 inches. Specifically 2XU MCS tech. Only thing is that there’s no pocket :’).

Great review! I think your video could benefit from balancing the audio levels a bit -- your voice audio is quite low compared to the music that is pretty loud.

@PeterMRiley 3 года назад

Thanks John. Appreciate the advice. I'm still learning so I'll definitely take that on board.

@lemonfox2090 3 года назад

How long would you typically wear your compression socks post run/ for recovery? great video. thanx

@PeterMRiley 3 года назад

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Depends on the run really. If I run a hard race, say a marathon, I would wear them for most of the rest of the day. Not sure there's a right answer though and it's a case of finding out what works best for you.

Good review! Are compressions sets good for hiking?

@PeterMRiley 2 года назад

Yeah go for it! 👍

@ajc5869 9 месяцев назад

I love it, I wish skins would make a one piece full body suit. I would wear it all the time at home for recovery.

@phamhuutri1996 3 года назад

i thinking about buy a compress short. 1 question though: are these tights supposed to be worn with or without underwear ?

@PeterMRiley 3 года назад

Personal preference really. I wear compression shorts and tights without underwear. I know quite a few people who wear running specific underwear underneath. Something like the from the company runderwear.

Do these help with quad muscle strains?

@PeterMRiley 3 года назад

You could try to wear some compression leggings but a quad strain is going to take time and management. Compression can benefit with general recovery and once you're over your quad strain might help build a bit of confidence as you return to exercise.
