Supports the hip, thigh, and knee joints. Reduces muscle fatigue during exercise and protects the knees from impact during landing. Recommended for those who are wearing sports tights for the first time. Functions: Sweat-wicking, quick-drying, UV protection, stretch Recommended sports: Running, jogging, hiking Hips: 82-90 cm Height: 146-154 cm I have knee pain, so I wore these under my sweats a few times at the gym and for bouldering to protect my knees. As they say, they're recommended for beginners, and while they offer support, they were relatively easy to put on. I've struggled in the fitting room with other brands before. I'm selling these because I haven't worn them since I bought a CW-X patterned tights for yoga. CW-X is recommended because it alleviates the anxiety of side-to-side knee instability.
