Zoot Compression Tights

[GLC1968]

The size chart is not made for me!

I have giant legs - 15.5 inch calf, 23.5 inch thigh and 28 inch waist.

Clearly my proportions are all wrong.

You and me both. Less 15 more pounds, mine will match! )

The calf measurement surprised me. I knew they were big... but geez... At least on the calf it really is all muscle.

Have you tried buying tall boots? It sucks. Don't bother.

My motorcycle boots are actually about half a size too big.

That's all I could find to get over my calves. They're Sidis though!

thread drifting....

Try finding tall (English horseback) riding boots - there is just no way. For "work" boots I have found that Sudinis work great for my muscly calves. When you look at boots on Zappos.com, they give you a calf circumference measurement.

At the most recent St. George Ironman, everyone was wearing these compression tights. I noticed the majority of the runners had them on while they were running. I also noticed a guy wearing his skins when he was doing his registration/number tatooing. They must be all over the tri world.

However, after seeing everyone complete the IM, I can totally understand and see why someone would want some of these tights. The thought and this thread makes me think seriously about them.

I agree with everyone who posted that they do work. I have the Zoot recovery tights and the calf sleeves. DH has Skins tights and another brand of calf sleeves. He wore the calf sleeves during the IMSG run and wore his recovery tights that night. DH experimented with compression wear last year and was so pleased with the results that he bought me some, too.
