Day 182 : Musings

When I first started out running, we all hear about 2XU Compression.
Compression clothings that will help you to recover better after a run.

Truth be told, I am skeptical...
But their technology sounds logically convincing, so I took the plunge.

It may be psychological to some (or even me), but it works for me!
I always recover better after a run or a ride.
Delay Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is becoming history. =D

After a hard workout, it will be 2XU under my business pants. ;)

Being a slow poke, I always feel embarrassed wearing the atas brand during running races.
Slowly, the thoughts dissipated as comfort took precedence over "face". =D

There were other brands on the markets, Skins and CW-X.
In fact, CW-X should have been in the compression market much longer than any other brands?

But this two brands are not readily available. So I had been using 2XU all of the time.

As sports start to gain momentum over the years, every retailer want a piece of the pie.

CW-X, Skins, BV Sports just to name a few common ones.

2010, with a stroke of good luck, I chanced upon the list of Ironman Kona Top Compression Socks and Calf Sleeves Count.

I was taken aback by the results.

CEP top the list for Compression Socks, while
CompresSport top the list for Calf Sleeves.

This is the first time I heard of either brand.

Did some research and found out that both brands just came out with new apparels targeting the quads.

Took the plunge again and got myself both CEP and CompresSports.
You started to understand why they are the market leader in their respective categories.

Their apparels are simply awesome.

Given CEP fabric feel and comfort fit, they are probably the best in the market.
Not surprisingly, German technology. Land of the Audis, BMWs and Mercedes Benzes ;)
