Compression Tights


CW-X compression tights:  Do not be fooled when you take them out of the package.  They look like they are for a third grader and after checking the size chart three times I tried them on at the store.  Once I got them on... I checked the sizing chart again... just to be sure and thought "what the heck... 20% off at this point I need all the help I can get for my ITB."  They are definitely easier to get off than to put on.  Don't worry boys... they come in men's sizes too.

I wore them on Sunday to the gym and ran about 2 miles on the treadmill after working out with the trainer.  I am hoping they are going to be magical come race day.  I will run a few more times in them just to get used to them and their compression and other "self-image enhancing" qualities (see synonyms at top).  They are like skinny jeans but 20 times "skinnier" and definitely not made of forgiving denim.  They are made to support the lower body and bring increased circulation to these areas.  I'll keep you posted on how they do race day. =)
