They feel good. Work? I've had difficulties keeping them around my knees and on my thighs where the compression was supposed to be.

My GF bought those for me. I wouldn't drop $100 for another pair.

no, I found them on a closeout about $40~$50 Still i wonder if they worth the looks because the models left are the old colors like red and blue, white and black and there is one with a USA flag!

On their home page the make the following statement,
.."Engineered with two layers of support, it bands the joints and muscles into a unity nature didn't see fit to provide.."
No wonder my running progress is slowly progressing using the old fashioned way of building consistent miles, I'm wearing the wrong shorts.

I bought a pair in 2001 and run some and bike in them through the winter. They have held up great and are a solid pair of tights. Whether they help keep your tendons/muscles compressed I am not sure. Overall I think for $50 they would be worth picking up.

I bought a pair of their cycling bibs on closeout and I would say that they MAY be worth 50 bucks but no more.

I got a pair on sale last year. Overall, I think they are great tights -- thick, durable, comfortable. As to the claim that they stimulate the muscles and provide extra support, not so sure about that. They seem to slide around the knee cap too much. I cannot keep them exactly where they are support to fit. Love the tights and at $60 (I think), I feel I got my money's worth. However, I would not pay full price nor do I buy all the hype.
