I'm a guy. Not that it matters, the tights should work the same, but, figured I should disclose that ...
I have a couple UnderArmor "compression" clothes. In my view, for UA, "compression" means, just make it a little smaller than normal. I do not think they really "get it" regarding how compression clothing should work. It definitely is not gradiated, it is the same degree of compression throughout.
The Skins are definitely top notch. But, they are expensive. I like them a lot and think they work quite well, much better than most.
I have the 2XU calf sleeves and the 2XU compression shorts. In my opinion, 2XU is one of the best. I have not used the full tights, but, the calf sleeves and shorts are awesome. I would believe the tights to be the same. The quality of the shorts is as good, if not better than, the quality of the Skins stuff.
So, look at Skins and 2XU. If one is cheaper, go with the cheaper. Cannot go wrong with either.
