they're usually not compressive enough, however "running bare"
cotton-lycra tights do the trick just fine...

What advantage are they presumed to have?

The ads certainly smack of a similar approach. And they still harp on
about lactic acid build-up, ignoring the research done on this a couple
of years ago.

Are they the same mob that were advertising all the way through the
TdF on SBS lastyear?

If so, it seems their making a bit of money from the gullibles out
there.

Them's the ones. Very expensive.

I find a cold bath and some cheap compression tights though make my
recovery happen faster, after an ultramarathon. From my highly
scientific study of two races, one of which I immediately post race sat
in cold water and then later wore tights and long socks, and one of
which I did not.

Nah, it was the ocean... luverly!

But when you finish an ultra, the legs are so hot, they're so hot, it
burns your fingers to touch them, they want ice aaaaahhh.

Where do you get these from tam?

if they are quite cheap there is nothing to lose by trying them out.

Any sports shop - it's a standard women's sporting brand that actually
uses good quality materials, that last.
