Thanks Cougie. Probably right, I won't be top fussed half way around!

Thanks for the advice!
I hear what you're saying about the temp. I normally run just in shorts even when the temp drops well below freezing. But another concern is chafing whilst wet. I've had it before and don't fancy it again. These should stop that.
Put it this way, if they were so tight they were cutting off my circulation, I'd know about it right? I'd maybe get some numbness. So if this isn't the case, maybe I can take it they'll be fine? | |

I'm not sure how they could hinder me? They are tight and so won't get caught up on obstacles and I'm able to run in them. Surely thats all that matters? Additionally, most people I've spoken to who have completed a TM event have said they found these the best things to wear. I didn't consider Ron Hills as the UA looked great for temperature control. That's what UA do. I was really hoping for some sound advice about how compression tights should fit and to those of you that have helped me with this, I thank you. But unfortunately this has turned into a "don't wear them" from everyone else, when I did not ask for advice as to whether to wear them or not. | |

compression gear should be tight... and is more likely better during recovery rather than racing. The benefits of either haven't entirely been proved or disproved, but I know that lots of people favour the use of compression gear to recover. I'm going to be wearing them during the event, as do many mudders. Still better to be extra tight? | |
