Is the compression in these pants uniform or gradient? If so, what range of pressures from ankle to waist?

It felt like gradient pressure. Ankle pressure was good... waist band was too tight, and not comfortable at all. Compression socks feel better.

in the toe and heel they are well cushioned but there is compression (not padding) in the arch and ankle collar

I have both, and I prefer the ultra. The regular barely feels like any compression. It's much more comfortable, but it doesn't make a big difference for me. I should mention I use them primarily because I have low blood pressure, instead of solely athletic reasons. The Ultra makes a big difference, and the regular maybe makes a slight difference, but really just feels like I'm wearing snug leg warmers. I agree with the first reviewer though, the top band of the ultra does bind.

They run pretty true, but they have elastic on the sides. They will be a little loose. If your waist size stays consistent that should help.

Who wants extra care for sweats, so I pop these in the dryer on medium heat. The pants did shrink some (perhaps 1/2") in length. In my grey set the pants were on the short side to begin with. Shrinkage would normally be welcome (I am only 5'4") however the grey sweat pants ran pretty short and are now barely long enough. My navy blue pants are fine but were cut longer at the start. The fit otherwise remains fine after repeated washing and drying. So far they have held up well remaining soft, no pilling, very comfortable. Fabric content on the sets I've received is 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Who wants extra care for sweats, so I pop these in the dryer on medium heat.

Since I don't suffer from PF, I can't say yes/no w any certainty; however, they do offer compression around the heel and lower ankle, so it *seems* to me like they would help.

The waist line sits just above my hips. I wear them to Muay Thai and Krav Maga three - five times per week. I have full range of motion in them.

Hey Jeff, I am about a 30 waist in most jeans and the mediums fit me nicely. I can just get away with not needing a belt. What sold me on these was the leg room at the knees. They aren't baggy, but do really like room to move around in and not feel constricted. Hope this helps!

That is a great question. Honestly I filled them to my liking for firmness. Which is medium if on a scale of soft to really firm. Did not a have a pressure gauge on it. I will say these fenders are great!!!!! Use them every weekend and not a single issue.

A compression of 15-20 medium would not be the same as a 20-50 large. Size depends on height from ankle to knee and diameter of calf and diameter of ankle. Compression is the tightness of the fabric and you should get what your doctor ordered.

I got 2 XL legs and they are rather large. I have used them, but I don't feel that I get much compression. I have been meaning to contact the company to see if I can purchase a smaller size leg.

Comfort is something that you can control. I keep mine breathable while im at work, bht when im working out at home i tighten it up when im running. pushups and situps. So there is not real suggestion on compression, just adjust it to your comfort and exercise. Im running a medium via the size chart too and it is a little snug as well.

I'm 6'2" with 32" inseam & 40" waist. These fit very well and reach my knees. No idea what the compression strength is.

I did not have that problem with mine, it does adjust quite a bit from side to side but that is going to depend on the shape of your leg and I think its going to find it's own resting spot, but pressure on my ankle is not noticeable. It does depend a lot on how tight you like the holster and what kind of pants you are wearing... hope that helps

I have not worn them in lower than 40F. Between 50 an 60F, the pants are great! between 40 and 50F, it depends on how long I'm outside in them for, the longer I'm outside in them (more than 2 hrs), the longer I need to thaw out when I get home. Now, to put things in perspective, I live in NC where it does not get super cold like the Midwest, so the slightest cold bothers me. Hope this has helped.

My ankles tend to swell and when I take my socks off there is usually an indentation, with these the was none. HOPE THAT HELPS.

Sorry, got really busy. I just weighed the pants and they came out to 308 grams or 10.86 oz. So both the listed weight and description weight are off. Maybe it's a generic weight for a smaller size?
