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.

I already had a pair of these, I just needed the next size down

These are just right for the in between temps

Sorry if it sounded the wrong way but full length compression are too long for me. I got this quarter tights and it serves me just well. The compression socks pair it really well and I do not have 2 compression layers over my ankle which is great. Protected my calf and thigh and thats all I need.
