My legs feel fabulous after workouts with these tights that are finally the right size for a tall slightly overweight chickie. I can't imagine what someone who is really overweight does and any one of size. Of course I had to get the men's size because like every other manufacturer, the women's sizes are not 'actual' and do not work for real people. Thanks for making such a great tight. My workouts have been better with these tights and my legs recover faster. Tiredness is relieved and not as much cramping!!
