They are tighter than my other 2XU compression tights, particularly the waist. It took quite a while to get them on and they feel restrictive. I tried my other 2XU tights on to compare and both of my existing size M were less restrictive and tight at the waist. I don’t know why they have the drawstring at the waist, I can’t imagine anybody would utilise theirs, given the tightness

I’ve been having some knee pain when running, and these tights give me really good support around my knees. I used to rely on sports tape for extra support, but it often irritated my skin and caused dermatitis.

Then I heard that the Kinesis Compression Tights were being released, so I was really keen to try them. The problem was, every time I tried to order a pair, my size was sold out! I ended up waiting for months before I was finally able to get them.

Now that I have them, I’m really happy that I don’t need to use sports tape or bandages anymore. The tights feel supportive and comfortable without feeling too tight.

Definitely worth for the price and worth for the wait, and I’m very happy with my purchase!
