The Compression is fantastic but the length would be better suited to someone ...

I baught these to help relieve varicose vein issues after working a job where i am constantly on my legs for 20 yrs. They have saved the day. However, i took 1 star off for the sizing being slightly askew...i am 5'5 , 135 lbs and i baught the large. The Compression is fantastic but the length would be better suited to someone of even shorter stature. The hip to crotch ratio isn't quite right. So, i then purchased another pair in extra large and although the fit was better, it wasn't quite the same compression. Regardless, quality is great and i will continue to order these. They would possibly be perfect for someone in the 5'2 range. Infact if you are taller than 5'5 , u might seek another product altogether.

Fabric is very similar in feel (compression and breathing) to the less expensive Sub Sports RX fabric. Like Sub RX, these are second-skinnish, breathable, properly compressive when right-sized, and OK to wear alone by those not very concerned about showing the shape of body details.  (They aren't see-through in front or back.)  The waist is low so there can be a "plumber's crack" effect unless worn with a long shirt.

The legs of these "shorts" are very short, like boxer briefs.  If you want thigh compression, use the "half tights" version.  I like this shorter length myself because it gives flexibility for choice of coverup shorts.  The longer leg version may be necessary to feel the advertised benefits of compression for circulation and muscle recovery after sports.

Four stars because the competition is 25% cheaper while still excellent.  Compare to the longer-legged:

This compression tights have a nice hand and are well made. They fit well, but I am not sure whether they are fitting me tightly enough to do what they are intended to do, so I will have to say they may run a little large. I probably need an XS in this brand to provide all the benefits. They are great for running, providing chaff protection and also keeping my legs comfortable while standing for long periods. The price is higher than some of the name brands but I think they are of a higher quality and there is research behind the manufacturing of them. Like other reviewers, I kind of wish they came up a little higher at the waist, but that may depend upon your shape and your age!

These felt like nice shorts when tried on and true to size I think for XS, but I didn't like the matching jersey I would have worn it with so I didn't keep them.  Now I'm looking into compression workout garments, but if I don't start buying only compression, I would consider these again if I could find an alternate jersey to go with it.  PI's jerseys are too baggy for my taste as I like stretch Lycra jerseys only.  I just don't feel attractive in their jerseys; I look too manly in them.  The looks of these shorts are sharp though. They do have one of the longer leg lengths of women's shorts, plus the thin long black band at the bottom is gentle and great idea because they make it so that your legs don't pucker and look fat, yet still grip well. This is great when you hit 40 and over because even us thin ladies can get leg pudge around the grippers of shorts. Then you also don't mind the longer lengths at this point of your life either and I think it looks more like what the pro female cyclists wear anyway.

These have a nice amount of compression. Be aware that the designs are not flush on the inside of the sock and will leave imprints on your skin. They are a tad long in the foot for me, but nothing major. They also don't seem as sturdy as the other brands I have tried; I have only worn them 3 times (12-13h each time) and they seem a bit pilly/frayed at the heel.

Being 6 feet it's great to have a swimsuit that's finally long enough. It's very structured? Like a compression swimsuit? I didn't need that - just a long enough swim suit. However, I'll take what I can get

They are a bit of a hassle to get on but I'm presuming it's because of the compression aspect. Otherwise, they fit perfectly and color is accurate.

Wow first review! Note that this is compression shirt and not a loose wicking type shirt so thus picking the right size was important for me. Got an XL - note that I am 6 foot about 177lb and muscular 42" chest and 32" waist with about 12-13% body fat and she is snug as expected and it works well. It is long as well so that when you lift your hands above your head it doesn't pull up past your waist line. I really love the design. Need to wash it due to fabric smell but overall will definitely buy this brand again but maybe pick a different design.

Size: I could have gone with a XXL as well since it is compression; maybe next time. For others, size will depend on how snug you want it to be especially in the stomach area. How I picked was that I usually wear a large or medium shirt according to the size chart that is displayed for this product and went up one size. I could have went two sizes up to XXL but I have bought other compression shirts that I have tried on and I usually fall in the L or XL size. So I went with the XL in this case. As stated I think XXL would have fit nicely as well for my body type.

Reasons to love this: (1) nice fabric (2) good compression support  (3) stays snug and does not roll down  right size is needed (4) love crotch opening for bathroom use.  Reasons not to love this: If only the garment shrink with me!  Have to get a next size down after 6 weeks of wearing.  But completely understandable as I cannot expect a size large to fit if I have became a size small.  Overall, effective and good product!

shorts are very long and the quality are not as good as the name compression shorts

I believe this to be a quality product with excellent compression and my knee feels more stable for the long hikes and runs I take. Unfortunately, the top of the sleeve is quite tight around the upper thigh. I followed the company website for sizing and thought I would be a medium, returned that, and the large i received today is still quite constricting around my upper thigh to the point that I fear its outweighting the benefits to my knee by impeding leg circulation. I am a tall thin man and was suprised that a large, which the sizing indicates would fit someone with thicker lower thighs than me, is so constricting. Its a really great sleeve though better than others ive tried, just not the best for those who are more sensitive to the constriction the top of the sleeve creates.

I was able to receive these at a slight discount for an honest rating.  I found the compression gloves size Small to be somewhat large compared to other compression gloves I use.  I use them for Arthritis and have found that compression does help  me.  With these running large I would suggest ordering a size smaller.  The material and workmanship seems to be good and I would buy from this seller again.

Nice compression, but not made for the petite girls out there. I'm 5'1 and there's tons of fabric at my ankles.

I love the compression that I've own so far. UA comes tops on my list when I shop for compression. Reasonable pricing and great fit. This is the only 4 start that I would give this pair as this 7" is way too short. I'm 6" and I have own numerous XL of the 2012 season compression and they fit really well, but this time round I tried buying a L size and the 7" is just 5" the fitting is right just too short for a 7" compression.

I have these compression tights in the long length and LOVE them, so I decided to get the cropped length for summer.  I love these too, but they fit tighter than the full length pair I have, and they squeeze my calf a bit.  Nothing significant that would make me not like these, but thought I should note the differences in case someone else was purchasing these after already having the long pair.  Definitely great compression and support for your hamstrings and hip flexors- I am so glad I found this brand and these compression tights because I don't like running without them now!!  For reference, I am 5'7", 140 lbs and got the medium.

I love-love-love this fabric however, the length could be longer and the arms are oddly SMALL in circumference. Unless you have tiny-thin bird-arms,  this cover-up may not suit you. I love the ''golden-tassels' that detach for an easy (hand) wash, and the color is FAB. But, again, if you workout and have muscular arms, it will be too tight  :(  FYI; I am 5'-10" 150lbs; the LARGE was nice and has a fluid drape however; length could be longer; Sadly,  ARMS are too tight!

Item is as described but I would caution the compression is relatively light if you are on the smaller end of the size range. Separating the Small/Medium into individual sizes with appropriate compression for each size would make this a better product. Fortunately I bought this for a running costume and don't need to full compression.
