Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I am looking for some copmpression sleaves for my calfs. I am still getting some serious pains in my legs and thought I would invest. Does any one have any suggestions or recommendations?

Blue top, red hat, no 58. This is less than two miles into a marathon.

I'm not saying that they aren't good, but a) you need to get the sizing spot on and b) you get what you pay for.

Ogee's Compressport are, of course, the other end of the quality/price spectrum - ie they're good, but you're paying for quality.

I have what Ogee has, and also some full length socks. I have no idea if they work, but they do keep the nettles off.

2XU ones are a bit pants. They add a bit of warmth and protection from vegetation, but fall apart quickly.
