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.

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

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.

Hello, it is a tight compression sock type feel. Not cotton smooth at all. It should fit under yoga pants because the material is stronger they your spandex type material. When it stays in place it offers great support and circulation to the knee area. However, it does slip as you workout and you need to pull it up. I have small calf muscles so maybe that could be why it slips.

I wear a ladies 9 and I got size large and they fit well. They are compression, so are supposed to be tight.

I've never worn Lululemon... But the prana pants are nice. Light fabric, with stretch. No elastic in the waistband, and that is a plus for my comfort level. No fly. Two pockets.I have two pair. Good for exercise, yoga, casual wear. It seems like these are 'boot cut,' slightly flared legs.Comfortable. Pretty $$, but I imagine the Lululemon are in the same range

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

They are knee-high, and the compression goes up the calves. I could stand for the calf compression to be more and the cuff to be less. I don't know the compression value though.

Yes, they roll up to mid calf and button on each side of each leg. I will also say I sent them back due to poor workmanship and very, very poor fit and shape. The pockets puckered even before I put them on and nothing felt or looked right on me. I'm a 5'4" perfect 8. These were the worst pants I've ever ordered on line. I know you didn't ask for this much information, but - here it is.

They fit just below the knee. The compression is good and they don't tend to slide down.

I can't say that they are "medical grade" but after my knee replacement, I cited the specs of these to my doctor and PT who said they have enough compression to easily equal or better the typical white compression stockings. They worked a treat for me even while I was still in the throes of severe and constant edema shortly after the knee replacement.

It really depends on the pants. I've worn them under sweatpants, but I think jeans would be tight.

The material is similar to Army ACU uniform pants. Similar to ripstop material. It's not stretchy.

If you want true compression with 31" waist, small. I'm 32 with a tape measure and have the small size. I do prefer to roll the waistband down when wearing them.

They are kinda in between, I would have to say, according to the feedback from my mother. She loves the fact that they do not "squeeze" her legs while providing just the right amount of pressure and comfort.

I can't say for sure. I wear them because I have leg pain. I'm not sure if its from poor circulation or not, but they help tremendously. I would recommend you try them, it may help in your situation. I will say they run a little tight, so you might have to go one size up. Good luck!

I would say yes. They have a little elastic in the waist and the legs are open a bit ore for ease of movement. I wear the same size in these as I do in many other brands of pants.
