Once Inspired

So I have been using the Linebreak calf guards and compression tights for quite a while now. In fact, I am wearing the compression tights as we speak (It’s cold in Cape Town today).

I must say that compression really does work. I have just completed my own little test over the past 2 months to see if they really do work. I noted the days I “kept it tight” and the days I never. I cycled and ran in both the calf guards and the tights. This is what I found:

Running

Wearing the tights	Wearing the calf guards	Wearing just a regular running short pant
No downward shockwave through the thigh followed by a reverberation as the quad bounces back up – This makes for seriously (and surprisingly) comfortable running.	Because the calf guards are more focused and isolate… calves they are a little tighter than the tights (This is known as graded compression and has been researched) I felt less stress on my Achilles tendon especially.	A little more airy but it doesn’t quite feel as nice.
They are warm in the winter time. They fit better than regular tights are just leagues above running in your Adidas Originals tracksuit pants.	I had an operation on my lower legs (Compartment Syndrome) so the calf guards are a big help with that even now that I have fully recovered.

Cycling

Wearing the tights	Wearing the calf guards	Cycling shorts
Kept my working quads in check	The calf guards are definitely better suited to running but they did prevent that niggle of a  “cramp” kind of thing I occasionally get in my right calf	You wear these with the tights and the calf guards
Better suited for recovery after a long ride
They kept my pins warm

Right, so to sum it all up, my benefits are:

• Temperature control
• Cramp prevention – They won’t always prevent cramp but they do help A LOT.
• Comfort
• Recovery
• They just make you look faster
