I have owned a pair of Beaker Concepts Compression VasoSock™ Socks l/xl for about a year and a half now and I may say one pair has held up over 5,000 travel miles (used to travel for work and of course races), and many many runs rides and recovery periods including movies and dinner with my wife. I thought there is no way they would hold up but they sure did!! The VasoSock™ compression today is as good as it was on the first day. I highly recommend them, I have used 2xu and others and believe Beaker Concepts may have the taken the cake on durability and compression!! I actually decided today to order a hydrotail, and two more pairs from the website http://www.beakerconcepts.com/ and one pair for my wife. If you are a runner, triathlete, ironman, and or just a traveling salesman go get a pair it will be the best 30 bucks you have spent in a while.

p.s I think they are great even for long drives to races or for work etc.
