I dont usually review, and no I wont be typing this in proper grammar. That said, I bought these pants during my recovery from two broken femurs. In short I was hit by a car and my thighs broke in half. I have a rod in each, multiple screws and two GIANT screws in my hip. I bought some flimsy store bought nike compression (garbage) and I thoiught that was the best.until I found and bought these. I suffered from massive nerve damage as you can imagine, and i spent a lot of nights sleepless. I swam for 6 hours a day and when permitted started hitting the gym 3-5 days a week with a trainer. if not for these pants I would not have been able to do any of it. THIS IS REAL COMPRESSION, it helped with my nerve pain, it helped muscle fatigue, its helped overall mobility. These were worth the money, Im fully recovered now, just bought 250 bucks worth of gear from them.I recommend if anyone is in a similar situation. Hope this helps
