I bought compression tights a couple of years ago, before my trip to Spain. I really don't find they help that much. I think part of it is I often have stuff to do/places to go after a long ride or hard run and I don't want to go out wearing my tights. Sure, I have wraps that could go over them, but in colder weather, I need something warmer and I can't get most of my pants on over these things. In fact, they are really hard to pull up, themselves! How long are you supposed to wear them, to get effect?
Using the foam roller and regular stretching helps me a lot. I just never take the time to do this... trying to be better.
