    I have the compressport calf guards and find them great.

    but has anyone got the thigh guards or full leg socks??

    They're a not insubstantial investment so I'd really appreciate if people had any feedback on them.

    Thanks

    I have them calf-guards too HardyEustace and also find them great. Whenever I finish a hard session I pop them on for a few hours, work wonders. Unfortunately I cant say the same for the thigh guards. Theyre not the worst but I had them on after Craughwell on Sunday and found with my leg moving around between sitting and standing and walking they were slipping a bit. Could be to do with size. They do wrap on nicely, not overly tight, not too loose either but I just dont feel as though my muscles are getting the same relief as the calf-guards do for the lower part. Maybe someone else has a better tale to tell bout the thigh guards! Havent tried full leg socks - yet - usually hammys are battered after intervals so if the thigh guards arent working itll be time to suss out a plan B!

    I got a pair of the thigh guards. Seemed to have the same problem as GKiraly, They were falling down. I'm pretty sure I got the right size. I have a pair of recovery tights (Skins). Which I tend to use instead.

    Erm, no, just picked the smallest size possible due to rather small quads.

    <wibble> Is this where people start sucking air through their teeth and looking at me as if I'm in line for the next village idiot? </wibble>
