Thoughts - compression tights instead of sleeves?

[secretlyevil]

I have been wearing compression sleeves and, now that it is cooler, compression capris. Was wondering if I should just go to full tights - will that have the same results as sleeves? Thoughts?

Currently I wear ON compression capris, which aren't as tight as other brands. Thinking about going to a brand with more compression for the tights. Which reminds me I have to go find the thread from a couple of days ago.

During the winter I switch to the full tights (2XU). They work just as well as the sleeves IMO.

Thanks! I was hoping for that answer. It seemed kind of silly on Sunday to put on the compression capris and compression sleeves.

I would think the tights would be the best because the compress the whole leg. I have compression shorts (2XU as well) and I sleep in them when I am sore. If it was cold here, I would totally have the tights for at least recovery!

Do you run in the thermal ones in winter?

Hmm, I'm not sure. I bought them almost 3 years ago. I don't think I would have gotten thermal ones though. It never really gets cold enough here

I wish I had planned this better. I'm going to need tights tomorrow!
