After any workout, the key to muscle recovery starts with the blood, so encouraging blood flow is key to getting back on your feet in a timely manner. That's where 2XU's Refresh Recovery Women's Compression Tights come into play. They're made of a supportive material that sacrifices a bit of stretch in favor of a higher denier material. That translates to limited mobility, so they're not specifically designed for pedaling or running; however, it also means more compression, making the Refresh Recovery Tights ideal for wearing post-workout and while sleeping or for providing muscle support during non-aerobic activities like off-season weight training.
