Pair one are out of commission as they lost some of their compression ability. Whether they help I dont know, but they dont harm...... They are great to wear for warmth purposes (under proper trousers) for winter football

I found that they were either too tight on the thighs and too loose on the calves, or vice versa. Compressport calf guards for racing coupled with Linebreak half-tights if the quads aren't happy. Half-tights and compression stockings for recovery. Whch does force me to wear shorts in the winter, but I'm almost Northern now!

Wore them for the first time last night and they felt nice, but when I ran my legs felt like lead - really 'constricted' - like I was running through treacle at times! It was a hard tempo run and I actually posted a really good time on the run, but it was weird. Has anybody else found that when first wearing skins to run in - just like every step is that bit harder work on the legs?! Am wanting to get some RY400s for recovery but not found any yet in the right size at a decent price.
