These are my preferred running tights, with a useful level of compression. I've worn these for recovery until my wife added in some extra pockets in the back from some old Race Ready shorts. The tights come without even a key pocket, which is an annoyance, but they do have a waistband with a fastening cord. Like all graduated compression tights, they do tend to slip down slightly, but the waistband keeps them in place. I find they are far more comfortable than Form Fitting tights and I miss them if I run in my 'ordinary' tights.

These are the only compression tights I’ve tried that have an ankle zipper, which is rather nice. I like these tights, but the lack of waist band is annoying as they tend to slip down while running. These are one of the few compression tights with a pocket, which is zippered and in the small of the back. === [http://www.runningwarehouse.com/descpage-ZAT.html Zoot CompressRx Active Tight] (recommendedworth considering) ===

These tights offer high levels of compression and use a variable weave to apply the different pressure to specific areas. The tights are a little tricky to put on, and the lack of distinct waistband causes them to slip down somewhatmore than the Saucony. Like the 2XU there are no pockets, but there is also no waistband. This means pulling them up periodically, which is a distraction. On While I liked the other handhigh compression, the high level of compression is an advantageextra tension made them slip down too often to be viable. === [http://wwwIf Zoot changed the design to include a waistband, I order a pair immediately.runningwarehouseThese may be worth trying to see if they stay up for you (Runningwarehouse.com/descpageMRA-SMAPTT.html Saucony Men's AMP PRO2 Training Tight] (worth consideringhas free shipping both ways) ===http://img.runningwarehouse.com/ProductImages/SMAPTT.JPG
