    I haven't used them myself, but I suspect that these fall into the area of "sports voodoo", along with nasal strips, Q-rings, PowerCranks, beetroot juice and crank inertial load analysis.

    I therefore want some.

    I love it when you're wrong Lumen.

    Compression gear does work.

    On the bike it aids with recovery and really does work. I could fish out the studies but not *that* arsed.

    It's one of those debatable topics on every sports forum, every one of which has it's skeptics. They are for recovery, not when you exercise. I use mine for flying, 30 hours plus to home is a pain for fluid pooling in the legs.
