Ignition Shield Compression Tights

Size up one level from your usual. Wear because of bonded fabrics tends to increase faster. All in good cold weather gear.

Nice windproof, warm layer

These tights allow me to XC ski with two fewer layers. They combine warmth and windproofness with compression. One drawback is they are not as long as my last pair of size MT X2U compression tights.

Good fitting compression and warmth

When you start off in a below zero day in these, you feel the cold more than other lined tights in this category, however after a mile or two warm-up the garment starts to work with body heat/moisture to insulate. The compression is perfect, which is a hallmark of 2XU. The knee area could be more integrated with the rest of the leg and not separated as it feels thinner. This is a mens and has accommodation in the crouch area, which creates a funny shaped bag area, which is one reason I knocked a star off, people tend to look there as you run past them. :) Otherwise a keeper for 30 - 40 degree mornings.
