    Compression Short Wearers?

    Do you feel wearing these helps lessen fatigue?
    Which brand do you wear?(I don't need pics )

    Just got compression tights for after training/racing cycling. Can't tell the difference although they're not that tight. Zensah. Plenty of room around the nut sack.

    Used to wear in college for football and not sure I ever felt much of a difference.

    They did however give me a pretty epic moose knuckle....

    I use CW-X. I find that when I put on a fresh pair after a shower, and lounge in them at night and sleep in them, it does more for recovery than wearing them to ski in.
    It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

    I also use CWX tights, but they have ZERO dick room. I have to wear boxer briefs under to keep from getting some down-the-leg action, but they do reduce fatigue especially when touring. If you're a borderline size, go down a size. You want them tight as fuck.

    After wearing them during skiing/after cycling, I think a good warmup/warm down does far more to help recovery.

    Also, I don't think they lessen fatigue on the physical scale, but if you think they help, then they might help due to the placebo effect. YMMV...

    I rock my CW-X tights as a birth control precaution.


    Seriously though, the only difference I feel when skiing or 'recovering' in them is a jump in rage because I can't keep my pants up with those slippery things under them. The only reason I have the things is because I won them by default by being on some xc ski team a while back. I don't think I'd have them if I had to pay for them, and I'm certainly not going to go out and buy another pair.

    I wear them while skiing to keep my raging boner in check after I hit a sick line.

    I have those. They dry overnight if you need to wash them in a sink. That's some good technology!
