3 recommended compression tights for purpose selected by carefree mountaineering girls

On weekdays, I stare at my computer until late. I know that, but I tend to lack exercise every day. But I can't stop going out on weekends. Just as I was thinking about it, I took a night bus and immersed myself in the opposite direction of my everyday life, surrounded by iron boxes and LED lamps, and as I went back to my daily life again. For my casual mountain climbing style, compression tights are the only item I would like to focus on.

From running to mountain climbing, not just me, but for many mountain girls, the choice of skirts and tights is now a standard. Sun protection, feet protection, cold protection, and most importantly, stylish style are essential for many women. However, these tights can't cover all the pain of fatigue, muscle pain, and joint pain such as knees that occur when climbing or descending for long periods of time that you don't normally do. Compression tights that focus on prevention and recovery should make your usual journey even more comfortable.

That's why compression tights should be carefully selected and carefully selected, but I've always been a problem because the price is so difficult that I can't try anything like that. Compression tights vary not only from design to manufacturer and model, but also from comfort to important functions. The factors you look for differ depending on the user's purpose and constitution, so finding the best model for you is extremely difficult.

This time, the editor-in-chief spoke to us and we will be able to give you a serious comparison and review of popular and popular brands that you've been interested in up until now. Finally, I had the dream opportunity to try out various models in person!

So, from now on, we will be introducing detailed comparison reviews and individual impressions, but in the first installment we will introduce recommended models that we have experienced when actually wearing various compression tights, based on the purpose and type of wearer.

Things to keep in mind when choosing compression tights for mountain climbing

Compression tights are focused on various factors such as make and model, but what they have in common is that they provide two functions: compression (compression/stage compression) and joint support (taping effect). The former mainly plays roles in reducing fatigue and recovery, while the latter plays the role of preventing and relieving pain and shaking in the knees and lower back. First of all, it is important to have a model that has a balanced balance of both compression tights for mountain climbing. At a minimum, it combines two roles, and it should support long, heavy climbing and downing exercises, which are characteristic of mountain climbing. In my case, I first take these into consideration and focus on more detail, such as comfort, ease of movement, breathability, and UV protection.

When it comes to CW-X, it is a representative compression tights for mountain climbing. Perhaps it is the effect of posture correction, which is based on the good balance between joint support and compression, or it gives the feeling that your feet are lightly bounced up, which you wouldn't get with other compression tights. Even when you're tired from walking, this bouncing feeling will support you in your movements.

It also has joint support using taping theory, so it is a model that is recommended for those who are beginning to climb, to approach the mountain, or for those who find joints (especially the knees) painful when walking for a long time.

The Revolution type is a lightweight model with no seams. Compared to those with seams, it is inevitably inferior in terms of knee support, but the lightness and lack of seams make the wear feel different. Also, with patterned prints, they inevitably deteriorate and the print becomes blurry after washing, so I think there are different preferences to whether to use a lightweight, seamless Revolution type, or whether to abandon the lightness and achieve seam-fill durability.

The safest stage compression makes it surprisingly easy to wear!

The staged compression you feel from the moment you put it on, and you can feel the blood flow from your ankles to thighs. The two types of materials on the front and back provide a sense of solid pressure, making it easy to see how fatigue is felt even when exercising in a short period of time. The gap between the support when moving and the pressure when not moving leads to balance, so this is what you'll see for muscle pain the next day.

There is no specialized support for joint support, especially around the knee, so it may be best to avoid this if you are worried about your knees. Recommended for those who don't need any knee or hip support, but want it to reduce fatigue. I think this model can be used in a wide range of fields, from standing work, light exercise to hard exercise. The waist is quite loose and supports it with a string that passes inside, so it has the advantage of being loose or tight, but it will take a while to get the hang of it to fit.

The airy lightness creates a wonderful comfort!

The biggest feature of all is its lightness. While it is becoming difficult to reduce weight with stitched tights, they are still lighter while still being specialized for durability and support. The compression is weak, but overall, the degree of pressure also supports lightness. In the mountains, your legs get heavier as the end approaches. Even in such cases, compression tights that emphasize lightness are effective.

I have not tried it yet, but the included warnings include a message saying "If damage (fraying or torn), we will repair it." While it is expensive, it is a good idea to treat it with care, it is quite possible that a hole may be opened by falling or tangled while climbing, so I think it is a great thing that can be repaired.

The material is a little dry, so some people may be concerned about the feel of the skin. It uses a dry mesh function, and is smooth and does not get sticky when you sweat, making it a smooth model that will be useful in summer rather than autumn and winter.

summary

Compression tights are one of the items that you won't be able to let go once you've become addicted to it. The compression area has medical elements, and the smallest details are difficult to focus on your impressions when you actually wear them, but especially if you are just starting to climb, are not confident in your physical strength, or are looking to improve your level, be sure to find a pair of your favorites.

Next time, I will finally summarize in a report a comparison of more detailed features and features, including other models.

From a young age, he grew up surrounded by nature, including camping and mountain climbing in the summer, skiing and snowboarding in the winter. I couldn't forget the memories of learning so much while playing in nature, and I still decided to do so, but it was a good day! I often suddenly book an overnight bus and run off in search of nature. Currently, on weekdays I'm covered in computers and radio waves, and on weekends I go on a trip in search of nature. Recently, I have been aiming to try new activities in addition to mountain climbing, hiking, and hot springs. Also, not just outdoors, I love gear, and am exploring every day in search of moments where my desires, product concepts and preferences match through my experience. I hope I can convey my preferences as experiences.
