Best compression pants & tights according to redditors

You only have biohazard fumes because you DON'T air out your gear! I set up my gear on my drying rack after every use:

As soon as everything's on the rack I spray it with antibacterial spray:

My gloves, skates, and bag I throw in a few of these charcoal bags for good measure:

Base layers/socks/jerseys get taken in and washed after every use. Gear gets washed 2-3x a year and it's not because of smell it's just to get off dirt/sweat. My gear doesn't smell at all. I also highly recommend base layers. I know not everyone is a fan (I grew up playing in only underwear), but it really does help cut down on potential smell as dead skin stays on them vs your pads.


I wear Tesla base layers which are great because they're cheap and have nice ventilation panels on the shirts/pants

I wear leggings for a few reasons (warmth, comfort, modesty, mini-band days). Allows me to wear whatever shorts I want over the top.

​

Silkworld leggings

​

Every now and then I'll wear compression shorts.

Howdy from Boston (am also from CA). I'm a guy, but absolutely love all the winter gear that Tesla (different from the car manufacturer) makes. It's affordable and does the job just fine for Boston winters. These are the tights I have which are for men, but you can search for women too:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0773LN383?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I hike in shorts almost exclusively until the temps stay around 40° during they day, then I wear pants. My sleep pants are a pair of running tights that I will hike in during the morning. They weigh 4oz for a small and are very comfy to hike in under my shorts. If I'm expecting a really rainy trip, I'll pack a second "dry" pair for camp, and at a 4oz penalty it works fine.

I've been eying these as a pair of wind pants. Some folks here have used them and like them just fine, and the price is right and they weigh less than my tights by an oz or so.

Under Armor makes some seriously good cool weather layering clothes as well. They fit tight under your jeans and then there’s an air gap between them and the clothes that really help you stay warm. And they breath very well in case you get real active, so you don’t get cold again once you stop moving. www.amazon.com/dp/B01FFNE26Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_WXT4DbDACXPGJ

You’re saying no gi?

If you have a few days, there are some nice setups on amazon for relatively cheap.

I usually go with some compression pants and muy thai shorts, and a tight fitting shirt from hm

Honestly any compression pants and shorter/fitted sports overtop should do just fine. Don’t be the guy that just wears compression pants and has his penis outline out in the open. It can make people uncomfortable. I made the mistake my very first nogi class and one of the guys was BUSTING on me lmao. Instead of a rash guard I usually just use the long sleeved slim fit shirts from h&m. They fit pretty tight, are stretchy, and haven’t given me any problems. Here are links to some of my no gi purchases from amazon. If you don’t want to use amazon because of fitment issues or whatever, Dick’s sporting goods and pretty much any sports store should have compression clothing which you can try on. Hope this helps

I have a couple from this brand in different colours as well as a couple long sleeved rashies and compression shorts from them for under mma shorts.

I have had them for over a year now, they are still holding on bar a few threads coming loose (burn them) - and it's nice to just have some basic go to compression gear for day in day out use.

I love spats and do have a couple Meerkatsu and Scramble ones but I found these ones retain elasticity a better than bigger brands' ones.

(Also they do have slightly more stealth versions available without the unsightly 'crotch stitching' - their biggest letdown).

Edit: Stealth versions

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MRGLG16/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_Y6sQDb11M8S70

I use these, the mesh vented ones are awesome and keep me colder than just wearing shorts alone. I also got long sleeve shirts by the same company and those are awesome for anything outdoors.

I run outside in the cold sometimes. I wear multiple layers.

Socks:

Polyester running socks

Pants:

Compression pants

Track pants on top of the compression pants

Upper body:

Compression shirt

long sleeve polyester running shirt

polyester hoodie

I use this combination when I run outside in about 30-40 degree weather. If it is colder than that, you can use additional layers.

You can find a lot of this stuff at Target also (although they sell the generic brand).

I have come to really like Adidas compression shorts. https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Performance-Climalite-Underwear-Indigo/dp/B00QG7XEQI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1523039743&sr=8-2&keywords=adidas+compression+shorts

Idk if they make pants too, but i've never had any irritation w/ them after some issues had with very cheap brands.

Edit: They totally do. https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Techfit-Tights-Black-Medium/dp/B0108S1L2E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1523039815&sr=8-3&keywords=adidas+compression+pants

I have a bunch of these bad boys. They're cheap and have held up really well for me. The camo is a bit annoying but can't beat the price.

I've done 4 Spartan races - all sprints - but in a variety of temperatures and conditions.

I'm not about showing my junk either, so I go for a "superhero" style layering approach. Here's my go to gear:

• Tesla Long-Sleeve Compression Shirt: https://www.amazon.com/TM-T11-BKRZ-X-Large-Tesla-Compression-Baselayer-Sleeve/dp/B01MT5X19B/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492570859&sr=8-1&keywords=Tesla+Men%27s+Cool+Dry+Compression+Baselayer+Mock+Long+Sleeve
  
• Sub Sports long compression pants: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VCPVHW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Champion Performax running shorts with a rear zip pocket: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S0JDCDU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Mudgear compression socks (amazing!): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TSLYU5I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Ironclad Box Handler gloves: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004WZRJ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  For shoes, I've run 4 races and done lots of training in between in the same pair of Reebok Nano 4s. Not exactly specialized trail running/OCR shoes. But I just love their durability, foot protection, and their traction really shines on the climbing obstacles. I wouldn't mind upgrading but I just can't seem to wear this pair of shoes down! I expect they'll last at least another 4+ races.

I use these, they're $18 and are still holding up well after 3 years of no gi https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VCPVHW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_cAR3DbZV9P6AD

I prefer them to the name brand ones I have since they offer better compression imo

I didn't spend a lot of money.. I purchased these from amazon and saved big money.. They hold up really well https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ML32Z65/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nfDzDb8V7A8VJ

I just wear fleece lined "compression pants" (which is apparently 'men speak' for what women call leggings) from amazon that are like $20... I think I have something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DW2X7BC/

I wear those over my bibs and it keeps the wind out down to quite low temps (below freezing it's not warm before riding, but fine once I'm riding and my body warms up).

There's a million brands of the same thing. They'll have the name brands like Under Armor or whatever at the local sporting goods store.

found similar ones to the ones i got. only 16 bucks. it's a good deal.

try Mava from Amazon, Virus might be a hair nicer but not $40+ nicer.

I'm not new here, just wondering if these would be good for winter riding?

I just bought Under Armour ColdGear Armour Elements compression gear for the Lake Tahoe Beast. I chatted with a person at UA and told them that I needed compression gear that will keep me warm even if it was completely wet. They suggested the ColdGear Armour Elements compression gear. It was $65 for the long sleeve mock and $65 for the leggings.

I'll find out in a week and a half how good they are and I can write you back if you would like. I've also heard really good things about Tesla Compression Gear on Amazon. It is pretty cheap compared to other compression brands.

Good luck!

These worked well enough to get me through Boston winter last year.
