Why you'll love them: You don't have to spend a lot of money to get a pair of Tesla Compression Pants for multi-sport, all-purpose use.
The Tesla Compression Pants don't offer the most compression, but they have a greater effect if you order your typical size, instead of sizing up. In fact, the company suggests ordering a size up from your usual unless you're looking for some serious compression.
Instead of targeted support, the tights deliver uniform compression for all-around support. In addition to boosting blood flow, especially after hard workouts, the additional compression can help reduce muscle soreness. While these tights offer noticeable benefits during workouts, they really seem to make a difference after a hard session.
A combination of polyester and Spandex material keeps the tights stretchy enough so they don't restrict movement. Whether you're working out indoors or outside, the moisture-wicking material ensures your skin stays dry and comfortable. Moisture is rapidly removed from the surface of the skin, where it evaporates through the material. Air is circulated two ways to help keep you as comfortable and dry as possible.
If you live in a colder climate, the tights may not be enough for chillier temperatures, although they work well as a base layer. Some men also wear shorts over the tights for a bit more protection and modesty.
One reviewer from a cooler climate remarks that the tights are "just enough to keep the chill...from annoying you while you sweat." On the opposite end of the spectrum, a reviewer from a warmer climate was surprised to find that the tights allowed his skin to feel cool and comfortable, despite the fact that the temperatures are "hot enough to bake cookies in my car."
Whether you're working out in the cold, heat, or somewhere in between, the tights help safeguard against harmful UV rays by offering UPF50+ protection. The material is non-abrasive, and won't rub or chafe during workouts.
Pros: Moisture-wicking material, stretchy, UPF50+ protection
Cons: Some find they have to size up for a better fit, not warm enough for chillier temperatures, no storage pockets
