    Can anybody recommend a good pair of compression shorts that will cover my full quad?

    i.e I want them to go all the way to my knee and dont want to have to stop to pull them down all the time!

    I play soccer, do I need to get them specifically for females or are they unisex?

    Why not use regular loose fitting shorts?, really curious as to why compression is necessary for playing soccer?

    They're for wearing under my shorts. I find they help my muscles but I'm looking for a slightly longer pair.

    I have a pair of underarmor ones that go all the way down to the bottom of my knee cap.

    Lifestyle are carrying a Canterbury range of braces, straps and compression shorts at the moment. I got an ankle brace and I find it quite good, one of the lads got a shoulder strap and says it's the best one he's ever had. (He's a physio also)

    Has anybody had any experiences with the brand Skins? I think they're a new one. Thinking of buying these:

    Has anyone ever used them before? They any good?

    If you can't get shorts then consider tights. Skins and 2xu are both good brands. I'm currently using linebreak although I only use compression gear post exercise.

    I use skins and i can highly recommend them. I have had a few injury problems and they give me great support. Slightly expensive but well worth it!!
