compression tights

Also, UltraJoc makes one.

Personally, I just keep wearing the compression shorts. Any particular reason you want the full-length?

For me, less leg irritation from the shin guards.

You should try the socks that Honig's has.
They are Thorlo, plate socks.
A little expensive but once you use them you will wonder why you ever wore anything else, especially if you are working an all day tournament.

Scott,

How do these socks hold up?

When I was still skiing, I had picked-up a few pair of Thorlos at Steamboat. Unfortunately, they wore worse than the ASA 3-ring knee-highs. Don't know whether it was the brand or the construction, but I'm not inclined to invest in them again barring new data.

I used them a lot, even wore them when I was working basketball because I liked the support.

As for wear, I still have almost all of them I ever purchased that I use for boot socks when I go walking in the woods.
None of them ever wore out at the points where the guards rubbed or where the plate shoes hit. I also don't remember any of them ever developing the little pills that some types do.

As an aside, they were really good at NOT holding a smell like some types do.

Your may get different results, but I think you will be pleased if you try them

I always felt the compression tights made my @$$ look too big.

Actually, back in the olden days when I was in exotic climes like TX, before UnderArmor was a gleam in someone's eye, many of us wore long underwear because we wanted to be sure and work up a little sweat to keep us cool. Not a LOT of sweat, just some.

I wear compression shorts. Used to wear McDavids, but got two pair UltraJoc this year and really love em. I usually wear special socks to be sure I don't get blood clots and keep good circulation going (after effects of the heart stuff).

Not too far removed from the old compression tights, but my @$$ looks much better.

Is this a personal opinion or an unsolicited testimonial?

I've worn those socks all this season, so far so good. They are thick, so if your shoes fit just right, they will feel tight with those socks.
