Comparing Skins, Zoot, CW-X, 2XU and Orca Recovery tights

I recently compared recovery type tights. I think a lot of this depends on how the tights fit you, and they all fit differently, but here's what I think. Skins Men's RY400 - My Winner. They offer excellent compression - snug but not uncomfortable. They fit very well and are very comfortable, the best I've tried. I like that they are thin so if I wear them under my pants I won't sweat a lot. So thin + good compression + good comfort = my favorite compression stockings. CW-X Men's Perform X Tights are my second-place favorite. They offer good compression and the compression feels just right. They fit well although they are a little thick I would appreciate that very much. The Zoot Sports Ultra 2.0 CRX Mens Tights - I really liked them, they have the best compression and the compression seems to be the best too - tight where it needs to be and not tight where it doesn't need to (knee) . However, they are not very comfortable to wear under trousers and are very, very thick, almost like medical tights. I think in the summer it will be a big problem. So if the thickness doesn't bother you and you're not planning on wearing them under your hiking pants, I think they're really great for staying at home and chilling. difficult to put on because of the small foot hole. Nothing spectacular about the compression but they seem to fit well and while not my favorites I believe they will. Orca Killa Compression Men's Tights - I really wanted to like them because my tri suit is Orca, but they weren't that comfortable. , not so good with compression and it's really really hard for me to get on my feet because the foot hole is so small. UPDATE: I've been wearing Skins tights for a few months now and I'm very happy with them! After a hard workout I wear them before bed and feel a lot better the next morning. They really work!
