These pants have a cool style and seem like they would be great, but I was way too tall for them. I'm 5'9", 140 pounds, usually can wear normal (not tall) size pants, but the inseam was way too short for me. I ordered a size Medium. They might have worked if I kept them really, really low, but then they barely covered my butt and I was afraid they would slip down. I ended up going with a different brand (CW-X: Pro Tight, size Medium) that worked much better.
I tried numerous pairs of tri shorts (Pearl Izumi, Zoot, TYR) and these fit me the best. All the other brands were too baggy around my legs. I'm 5'9", 120lbs so I have a hard time finding shorts that fit around my thighs. I like them to be long and not feel like I'm in my underwear so, I bought these in a SM and had them tailored to fit. They were close and I could have worn them as is but I wanted them to fit perfect so I had the local dry cleaners take a little more than 1/2" out of the thighs to tighten them up for an extra $20. I just wore them in a race last weekend and they were great. Comfy on the bike & run (it was a duathlon), the pocket layout is great. The only negative is that they don't have those silicone grippers around the thigh openings. I plan on wearing them in my upcoming triathlons this summer.
I followed the sizing chart and ordered a large even though I fit into the med category. These are see through in the behind. Had to return.
I love 2XU. I own the elite compression tights and a tri comp sleeveless jersey. I am 6' and I bought a medium. they fit perfectly. If they are fully stretched out like you see in the pic, they will cover the upper calf, but generally slide up just to wait the calf begin to widen out. It is not annoying nor unexpected. These provide just the right compression for the larger muscle groups and work especially for warm regions of the country like mine, Tempe, Arizona. Great product! I wish they offered the ¾ similar to women with all black X's versus the white/grey X.

This was my first pair of compression tights that I've ever bought. They are awesome! I am 5'8" with a short torso so I needed to get the longer length. I ordered the size small which was perfect as well.
Good fit. Bought larger size as I don't like the skin tight fight to get on. These work well and the design helps car drivers see me better when biking.
These are the real deal! By far the best fit, quality, and compression for the money! I bought these and another cheaper brand at the same time and 2xu are far superior in every way. They fit so well and are so much better made than any tights I've tried. Yes a little spendy but in this case it is worth it! These tights have helped with my recovery after my intense leg workouts. They feel amazing on and are look amazing too. Go out on a limb with these. You won't be disappointed!
Not sure what these were designed for, I thought they would be sort of a guard for my husband's legs while he rope climbs during crossfit. Apparently not because he came home with the worst rope burn on his leg under these guards. There was nothing wrong with this product other than they did not work for what I thought they would. No matter what, I love Zappos!

Good product and great fit (as long as you purchase the correct size). I am 6'1, 195 with a 32" waist which puts me in a MT based on the size chart. I started with the MT and had to go with LT for a proper fit.
Overall this is a awesome product. It is great for race day or recovery. If you have long leg hair, give it a trim. On long runs (over five miles) they pull on the hair.
I bought a pair of these tights and really thought they looked great, and were alright when I first bought them, so then decided to also buy a pair of recovery tights and the thermal compression tights. what a mistake, they all after a week or so ripped and I had to return them. One pair ripped after I got new ones. After that I bought a Pair of zoot recovery tights and they were way more comfortable and I have had no issues since then. Very disappointed with 2XU on this!
I picked these up for CrossFit, mostly to prevent my shins from getting too scraped up. Very happy with the product and brand. Fit is good, quality seems durable. And, as always, Zappos provided fast, free shipping. Very happy overall!
As far as compression, this is great. Good fit, you can clearly feel the graduated compression, especially in the forearms. Retains heat nicely. Have not tried to verify the recovery claims, but it passes the workout test.
Great shorts. I wore them for several long runs, two marathons, and full Ironman and I believe they helped me better than traditional shorts. Excellent muscle support, comfortable and ultra thin. Fabric never got hot and they stay up just fine. I expected them to fit tighter but I am right in the middle of the Med sizing chart and I don't even notice I am wearing them, so thin. Good purchase.
I bought these as a tool to aid in recovery. I started wearing them for a few hours after a long run and wore them a few times to sleep in before a long run the next day. While I felt a difference, it wasn't huge. I did however try wearing them on my long runs and there I felt a big difference. My hips and thighs feel stronger and more supported and I feel less recovery time is needed post run when I've been wearing them. Check the sizing chart as I am a large in almost every piece of clothing I own, except these I bought a medium. Great product!
I have the 2xu performance tights and these recovery tights. I do not really see a difference between the two in terms of fitting or material, but they did aid in recovery. I put the recovery tights on right after my workout and the rest of the following day. Going into my workout after my rest day I usually feel a little soar, but when I did my workout today I felt fresh. I love how they feel, I am 6' 200 pounds around 6% Bodyfat and got a medium. My sport is crossfit.
Awesome! I have struggled for a long time trying to find a bra that would not chafe. I have been through numerous brands and I finally found the one. I wore it on a 16 mile run on a day that was hot with high humidity with a high dew point and this bra had less moisture on it than any other article of clothing I was wearing. Not only does the material wick like there is no tomorrow, it is very light. I was very happy that I had zero chafing...none...zero. I would always get it in the band area, but not with this bra. Being able to adjust around the band and on the back T area created a very nice, comfortable fit. I average about a 32-34C depending on the bra and I ordered a small in this and it was perfect.

Well designed and well made compression tights. I sized down one size to get a bit more compression and still find them comfortable - enough so to sleep in them. They don't hold odor like some other tights I've owned and I find they do seem to help reduce muscle soreness and add a little extra support. I'm not sure how the decals will withstand repeated washings, but I have no doubt the seams will hold. I haven't tried other brands of recovery compression tights, but I'm quite happy with these!
