Recovery Compression Tights, Women

Best of the Best

"I only purchase CEP products. Since I had knee injuries decades ago. Five star products you can never go wrong. Highly recommend."

— Sunny (5/5)

Too short, but consistent with good CEP quality

"I have many pairs of CEP tall socks, which I wear daily at work and for longer outside running and skiing activities. It's the only brand I buy now. I purchased these in my usual size IV after confirming measurements. This is the only product I have been slightly disappointed in. They are too short. I am not that tall (5'8. 5"), and to get these to my waist, I have to pull the foot/heel section past my heel, or otherwise the crotch sits several inches lower than the appropriate position. (It is not a user error - I have worn many compression sleeves and tights and know how one should get them on. They are just short by a few inches. Needs a tall version)"

Excellent quality

"Compression is great, only foot section is too tight, and it really helps me to accelerate recovery process after hiking."

Recovery tights

"Overall, I am a big fan of CEP. My only issue with these tights are that they can actually be too tight, especially around the ankles. I think they’re best used in short durations and for that they are great. Otherwise, I prefer the infrared tights to wear for several hours and even all day. If you are looking for the tightest version that they offer then definitely go with this pair!"

First compression tights

"The CEP women's compression tights were recommended by a friend. I am using these tights after long bike rides (2 + hours) to help support recovery. The tights came well packaged but I am not sure if they are the exact tights I ordered. Online the website lists the compression weight, but that information is no where to be found on the box. Some folks report having a hard time getting the tights on the first time, I did not think putting the tights on was troublesome. I like the footed option but do not feel the tights are offering as much compression as advertised. The recovery component seems to be lacking. The tights feel well constructed, but you can see through the fabric. I would not wear these outside of my house due to the transparency of the fabric, which is a bummer. Overall I give the CEP tights a rating of average due to the transparency of the fabric and the lack of compression. They honestly feel like heavy pantyhose wore in the 1990's rather than state of the art compression leggings that you can don post race."

The Best Compression Gear

"After trying CEP compression and recovery gear for myself and experiencing faster recovery from runs and incredible comfort all day long I decided to give CEP compression gear to my whole family. Everyone loves them! They are superior to other compression socks and tights we have tried."

Solid option

"These are my second pair of compression tights. Having had 2XU’s version for a number of years I decided to try these for recovery after heavy leg days at the gym. I was worried about the foot portion of the tight being slippery but have had 0 issues. While I really like the intensity of the progressive compression at the bottom of the garment, I’d prefer to have more at the thigh to help support my quads. Additionally, these are a very elastic fabric, so I find it uncomfortable to sit in them for long because the ribbing starts to wear a grove into the skin on the backs of my thighs. 2XU is more of a silky feeling that I feel totally fine wearing for hours at a time. On the whole, these definitely do the job they’re tasked with but I don’t love the feeling of the material. If you’re planning on being in these for an extended period, you might want a different option if tactile experience matters to you."

Great compression, requires shorts

"I really like the feel of these compression tights. They help me manage a medical condition on days when I need stand a lot. The one thing that I didn't love is that they are see through at the top and I needed to wear shorts on top of them. I was perfectly within the size measurements and the size feels correct, so I'm not sure why this is. Don't size up, but be aware you may need to layer."
