I have a set and i wear them mostly in winter, but they really do help your muscles, like when failing hooks and jumping back down, this shaks your muscles about, and this is what gives you the ache the next day, the compression tights kinda hold your muscles to your bones if you get me? I find them very helpful when riding for a few days but then my shoulders hurt because i aint got a compression top aha, i want to sure about getting them cause of how i would look, but you can wear them under jeans, track pants and shorts.
