Good, but they don't fix problems for you

By Ranked #935 - Men's Trail Running Clothing November 1, 2009

I used these in an adventure race last weekend. I guess I was expecting bionic legs after all the hyped up reivews. My legs still got as tired over the 6 hours of the race, and I don't feel that they gave me extra noticeable stability.On the bright side, these cost about $20 more than your standard running tights and the compression is quite a bit more noticeable. Also, these pants were extremely durable when faced with briar bushes in the woods. Surprisingly, I didn't get any snags in the fabric. It was really great having that extra protection on my legs so that my legs didn't end up cut to shreds.In closing, I have an IT band issue and have problems running. These pants in no way fix injuries for you. They are what I'd consider the top level of compression running pants. I'm overall happy with the purchase and would buy them again. I'm a weekend warrior type, and not an elite athlete, so take that into account with this review.
