Well it’s good to see that they are actually doing research before aligning themselves with companies, unlike powerbalance.

They have quite an impressive resume there, hopefully it reduces injuries et al this year.
Do they have a tennis ball repellant as well?

So they are like SKINS?
Yeah. I wear linebreak compression with fitness training during winter and find it more comfortable than Skins. I can’t comment on 2XU, but it seems pretty popular and it’s endorsed by the AIS so by rights it should be pretty good.

Fantastic new 2XU are the market leader in compression and recovery gear, there research and the fact theya re endorsed by the AIS shows this. I personally have pair and think they are awesome, about 20 bucks cheaper than SKINS too and heaps better!
