2XU Features Both Reflectivity and Compression In Their Running Tights

The time has come for you to invest in your post-marathon running wardrobe. Yes, the days are getting shorter and your runs are too, but the fact is you can still get out there and keep that fitness up all fall and winter long. If you haven’t heard of or used 2XU, just know that Pippa Middleton (the Duchess of Cambridge Kate’s sister) has been spotted wearing the brand.

2XU has launched their Reflect tights within our Fleet Feet Sports Old Town location and they look great, not to mention the plethora of performance benefits you get from using compression infused technology.

2XU Women’s Mid-Rise Reflect Compression Tights & Men’s Reflect Compression Tights

These $100 tights are about as versatile as any out there. They provide amazing compression benefits including reduced muscle soreness and faster recovery with high reflectivity to keep you visible 360-degrees around. Ladies, you’ll love the 8 centimeter waistband with storage on the mid-rise version.

Here are some of our favorite features, as highlighted by our product manager:

  • 360 degree high reflective detail.
  • Compression support to adductor, glute, quad, hamstring, and calf muscles for reduced muscle vibration.
  • Graduated compression for faster recovery between workouts.
  • Drawstring waistband for secure fit in the men's version. 
  • Wide Comfort waistband with room for storage in the women's version.
  • Flatlock seams to reduce chafing.
As previously mentioned, compression aids in recovery in multiple ways. We recently wrote an in-depth article explaining some of the science behind compression and how it works. You can read that here or get a few quick pointers below.

The benefits of using graduated compression:

  • Reduced muscle fatigue and soreness.
  • Reduced muscle damage and risk of overuse injuries.
  • Improved performance.
  • Improved muscle alignment.
  • Increased agility.
  • Faster recovery.
