However, when it comes to bottom half
race leggings, I wear the same pair
each and every time. Call them lucky
leggings, trusted favourites, my safe
zone, call them what you like but
they have been a firm favourite of
mine and have never let me down.
Being asked to trial a new product
not only gives me excitement and
anticipation but sometimes also a
little anxiety.
What if they fall down the whole
time and I end up keep having to
pull them up?
Or, what if they ride up and up stay in
permanent wedgyland?
What if they tear easily and half
of my derriere is left
hanging out
for the
world and his wife to
see?
All sorts of visions
conjured up in my mind
before that first 3-2-1-GO!
Anyway, dressed in Compressport
¾ tights and overshorts I was
ready. 12k or so later and I’m back
by the car peeling them off. Having
just run, climbed, rolled, crawled and
probably wobbled my way over obstacles,
through mud, fields, rivers and woodland I
inspect the damage so far. Early indications
show….
Nothing.
I do love a “test and review” job.
Nothing at all.
No rips, no tears, no holes, no
weakness of seams because
there aren’t any, they are totally
seamless! In fact, my favourite
bit of all has to be the wide
waistband with rubber inside
waist lining, they didn’t move
an inch and held everything
in quite nicely.
The science bit.
These compression tights
have been developed
with unbeatable
thermoregulation for ultimate
comfort and compression
to prevent injuries and aid
optimal recovery. Targeted
areas for enhanced support
and added strength to the
quads, hamstrings and gluteus
muscles means less pain and
a faster recovery.
As for the socks, well….
I have quite problematic feet but these supported me
where I needed it the most and I had no calf issues
before, during or after the race.
Recommended for all road or trail running, they
provided all the protection my feet and lower legs
needed. Compression and support of the ankle and
stimulation of the arch of my foot.
They are now on my “must have” kit list.
