"I've found it to be very useful for recovery. I've got 2xu Elite Compression Tights, which is more useful for training, but for recovery I recommend to get this leggings. They are not too tight, but have very comfortable compression for recovery, so you can feel good after hard training wearing it. And they do not put the pressure to your stomach area while sitting, like Compression Tights could do. So I'd rather use Leggings while travelling."
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit

"I've bought XL, though according to sizing guide, I should get M. Palm area is OK, but a little bit tight in fingers. I think it is good for above zero range. Someone with good blood circulation can find it is warm enough down to -5 C."

Cons: tight in fingers

"Very comfortable and useful for cycling and running. Size XL for my waist 88cm, chest 105 cm a little big. Good if use base layer with one more jersey. Used for 2:30 endurance cycling session with one base layer in - 9 C, not bad. Very pleased with sleeves. Unfortunatelly, right sleeve zip misses one metal part, and it flaps and could not be locked, so it may open while training. Very good look. Very good shape of collar. The front lower part is not windstopper, so you will not get too sweaty in stomach area. Nice and very thought design."
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Lightweight, Versatile, shape of sleeves and collar
Cons: quality of zip

"This winter decided to buy tights without pad, because I want to use it not only for cycling, but also for running and skiing. And a pad used to become uncomfortable (harsh etc.) on my previous tights when the tights still was doing well. So I was looking for shorts to use with my new tights. This one proved to be good. Wicks well, pad is comfortable enough. With my 88 cm waist L size has pretty good fit. The rear upper area is a little bit too long for me, othewise, it is very good. Use it on trainer and when biking outdoor with winter tights."
Pros: Comfortable, Versatile, Good Fit

"When get it, it looks rather like an uniform for a worker, than a sport apparel. It is first time, when I was really disappointed with my purchase. It looks too warm, I think I could ride with only one base layer in double digit minus, so I decided to keep it. But for three days I was putting it on in front of the mirror and was feeling bad. Then I realized why. The collar looks like a huge chimney on my shoulders. May be it is a feature for keeping you dry by letting hot air get off through this collar? But the real problem was that collar was moved to my left shoulder. So I was not looking just like a hulking monster in it, but like a mutant! Thanks to the wiggle, they let me to get rid of it."
Pros: Durable, warm
Cons: Poor Quality, Unattractive, Low Quality, Poor Fit

"Looks good, but when on a bike, there is a big bubble in the chest area, bulky.
Collar is too wide. My chest is 105 cm, and L is too big, but M could be too short in the sleeves."

"If you thinking about buying it, resist. Poor design, neck is too wide and even when zipped is hanging like a necklace. Comparing to my other base layer (Endura, Canterbury) does not impress me at all. I was lucky I could return it to the wiggle."

"I was experiencing problem when started running as crosstraining after a season on a road bike. After 10 minutes of running my knee started to ache and I had to suffer from it till the and of my running session. Next day tendons around my knees were sore, and it was difficult for me to walk for 2 days. And now I was able to run about 90 minutes with only minor senses of discomfort in knee tendon area. I can not believe it, but this thin tights do the job. I found it useful to wear it after gym sessinon and endurance ride. Feel much better next day and ready to train again. I've already ordered a pair of 2xu compression leggings for recovery purpose."

velocardin's Questions
Mudclaw 272 Shoes AW11
The worlds grippiest fell racer.
about sizing
Salomon fits me nice in 11 UK ( 29.5 cm), according to size chart, if count on cm I should get 12 UK. But there is review that UK sizing of this Inov-8 is bigger than usual. And according to this opinion I should get some 10.5 or even 10.0 UK. Very good reviews about Inov-8 runners, but unfortunately, I can not try these shoes in my country. And postal return fee (about 30$) and time waste (about three weeks) can prevent many people from buying it. Would be very helpful if Wiggle could comment on the sizing compared to more popular Salomon shoes. Thanks in advance.

sizing compared to Salomon
According to customers reviews, it looks like I should get a half size (UK) lower compared to Salomon, which fit me nice in 11.0 UK. But I've found on my Salomon shoes that 11.0 UK is 29.5 cm (Japan). According to cm sizing I should have these Inov-8 shoes in 12.0 UK. Can somebody advice, which UK size of Inov-8 would better correspond to 11 UK Salomon?

Used to extend some Presta valves for use in deep rims e.g. Mavic Cosmic Carbone etc.

Can it be used with valve extenders?
