Incorporating powermesh fabric to the waistband increases the tight’s comfort and coverage during bends and stretches. Engineered with graduated compression, the 2XU mid-rise compression 3/4 tights are not only breathable and light weight, but powerful enough to support all the major leg muscles. Your 2XU Compression garment should fit the body snugly and firmly without uncomfortably \'cutting in\' to the body. If this is the case, you should review your size choice. For specific sizing, please refer to our Size Guide below, taking into consideration that if you\'re near the borderline for sizes or you wish to wear your compression garment primarily for recovery purposes, be sure to choose the smaller size where possible.
