I bought these to wear after my first 70.3 Half Ironman. I am a woman, 5'7" and 145lbs, I bought the size 1. The first time I put them on it was really tough to get them on, but after that they go on much easier. The size is perfect and they definitely give a good level of compression without being uncomfortable.

I definitely noticed a significant decrease in the soreness in my legs in the days following the race. Normally I feel pretty serious soreness however I barely have any stiffness at all as a result of wearing these. And as this was the longest race I've ever done, I'm pretty sure that my quick recovery can be attributed to these pants.

Have already told all my triathlon friends to go out and buy these asap. Best investment in athletic gear I've made in a long time.
