I got these for indoor basketball and summer soccer: times when I wanted to stay cool. They definitely delivered on that front. The compression in the 2XU Light Speed compression tights feels more effective but other than those, these are my favorite compression tights. The stretch feels like it would work well for leg day in the gym, too.

The medium works very well for me. I am 6' and 195 pounds.

When it comes to all-purpose tights for workouts, there's nothing better than 2XU. The right amount of compression; breathable and sexy fabric; sleek, stylish design; and a product that holds up over the years. There's a reason the monster global brands' products are cheaper: because they're cheap.

I'm in Florida, and I wear these for runs for the support. I've tried other brands but always come back to 2XU - they just fit very well and hug my body and get out of the way. Most brands I've tried tend to bind up especially around the knees.

I use these in the gym as well because there I want to support my older knees a little bit, and it never fails, the gym AC is on full blast and when wearing shorts, my legs tend to get a bit cold. These keep them warm enough to not feel cold, but also wicks away sweat when I am really into it

The material on these is very slick. While thinner than a lot of brands, they are anything but see through. I generally don't even both with shorts over and just wear a larger shirt. Your choice on that.
