It's not what you notice in these, it's what you don't notice.

I never thought I would throw down for expensive underoos, but after reading the various reviews I figured I would roll the dice. I bought these for snowboarding, I'm 15 years post op on a reconstructed ACL, MCL, PCL, the tights keep everything tight. (No pun intended.) I've ridden in them a dozen times this year, I'll get home after a hard day of riding/hiking swearing that I should be sore especially the next day....and nothing. My miniscus is shot in my left knee and typically I get the bone on bone ache going on...nothing.

I wear a shell over them and if temps are above 20 there more than adequate on the warmth factor. Anything below 20 I wear some fleece shorts if I'm riding lifts. If I'm hiking, they seem to be perfect alone, at least in 5 degree temps from the other day they were fine. The wicking qualities are solid, you don't get any of the sauna effect going on with your boys.

I'm, 6'3" 210 bought the large and they fit great. If your looking for something that helps muscle recovery after a hard day, or need addition support on bum joints, you'll be more than satisfied with the purchase. Plus you don't have to throw down 10% of your income or get a temple recommend to get them...sorry..only Utah locs would understand that. :)
