Title: Compression Wear
Post by: WhoTookMyUsername on February 12, 2011, 11:01:28 am

Hi all!
I'm looking to get some compression wear to help my recovery mainly from riding to school on my heavy as steel bike :(
I live about 15km's away from school on top of a massive hill and need to ride almost every day this semester before my dad will by me a new bike :O

So! In the meantime to help me out, what brands of compression do any of you wear / recommend?
After doing some preliminary searches on google, it appears, 2xu is the best and highest quality brand as opposed largely to skins.

(also what is a good $500-$1000 hybrid bike?)

At your level brand doesn't really matter, so get whatever's cheapest or easiest to wear.

I agree but if u want quality I think the 2xu shorts would be around 60 bucks and I have a top and legs and they have lasted well I wear them a fair bit

I've got skins half tights, but more and more people are starting to convert to 2XU.

To be honest I don't think there is much difference between all the brands out there...

It's all the same. I spent $120 on Skins one year and $30 the following year and I honestly could notice no difference what-so-ever.

You could wear any tight clothing and it wouldn't matter unless you were competing at a particularly high level
