tights? or shorts?
my question is that if compression tights are that good at keeping cool as trail rat said then why arent more athletes using long sleeves and tights rather than vests and shorts?
im not suggesting that it doesnt happen but that i thought the real benefits of compression lay with holding stuff tighter and not losing energy etc and with lactate recovery processes and that the keeping cool element is conjectural (in fact i think most of the effects are still under researched?) and more of a side effect than a primary benefit
to be fair most of that belief is based on info from mates who compete internationally and what they've been told by a variety of people inc reps so im open to ideas just dont understand why if theyre so good at promoting heat loss they arent used more widely with that role in mind? hence asking about long sleeves and tights
