compression tights

[Henn]

For this spring, I was wondering if there are any clothing co's that produce a compression full leg length tight with a cup pocket?

I always wear compression tights when I work plate, and always have to wear seperate compression shorts with a cup pocket.

Just wondering if anyone makes anything like this because it would be much more comfortable...

Here is what I use:

McDavid Compression Tights.

There may be other brands, too.

I think McDavid also makes the hexpad in a compression tight also.

Honigs has long socks that are amazing under the shin guards. The Under armor soccer socks also do the same job, and if you have an Under armor outlet around or near you they are usually 3 for around 5 dollars.

I forgot my special compression shorts a few years back and put my cup in a regular sock and draped the sock over the top of the compression shorts and it has worked great ever since. I get a couple of strange looks in the locker room/parking lot when I change, but no one should be looking there anyhow.

That's what I do. (The soccer socks and compression shorts, NOT the other method!)

I've tried regular soccer socks with compression shorts, and found them to a lot hotter than the commpression tights. I haven't tried underarmor brand, though.

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'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.

I've read in a couple of threads about compression gear, which I'm not really familiar with. I'm curious to know how many of you guys/gals wear this equipment, what kinds, etc.

Apparently there are shorts, pants, shirts, socks. How are these things to wear when it's real hot, or in the chill of early Spring games. I'm in New Hampshire and we usually start in April. Not unusual to do a game with temperatures in the low 50s. And in July and August, we do have the occasional 100 degree weekend.

I have flat feet and they get tired and sore if I'm working a lot of games at a tournament. I was wondering if compression socks would help alleviate some fatigue. Also, shorts - if it would help avoid that uncomfortable jock rash.

Figured I'd add on to this existing post instead of starting a new one.

Thanx for your inputs and opinions.
