Nice little collection. My wife only got 2 pairs also. Its almost impossible to find pairs in 4.5 lol. How's everyone elses collections coming? 
 
i had the purps and the pinks in my size too but i thought they were more of a girls cw so i either sent them back or sold them on ebay. if i could find the purps in the girls size id get them for the lady too just havent been able to yet. 
 
Thought my collection was complete, but then new color ways release. Also have a few pair stashed away for the future.

eastbay sells their **** like 2 for 30. why would I spend near a hunnid for some tights...convince me

I like them for competition days and that's really it. Helps circulate the blood and keeps your legs feeling fresh. Especially in the winter here in Boston, helps keep you warm in between events.

I use a company called body science compression. Got a good discount otherwise I would have never bought them because of the price. But I am going to buy some virus ones just to see what all the hype is about.

Cuz eastbay's evapor tights are super thin. I guess less material= cheaper. However, I do like their cutoffs for weightlifting though.
 
Looks more yellow than orange in that pic. If that was a grey instead of that cobalt blue navy color I'd grab them. My box colors are black and yellow lol.

I've worn Virus, Nike, and Skins, and honestly with these things, you get what you pay for.  Skins are far and away a superior product with noticeable difference in recovery and warmth of muscles.  That being said, if you're one of these people who only wears tights with no shorts or pants to work out a) you are a huge douche and b) the skins will eventually rip from Oly movements because the material is not designed to withstand the knurling rubbing against it constantly.  The Virus pants are made of a tougher material which is way less comfortable, but tougher to rip if you wear during Oly.  

Nike compression is borderline useless and basically just stretchy tights that are of no use and possess zero recovery benefits.

In summation:  Although the skins are more expensive, they are in fact a superior product.  If you are a douche and dont wear pants or shorts over your tights, get the virus ones.

I felt the same way with just compression shorts under my board shorts. I bought a pair of Nike and UnderArmour and the Nike were already starting to fall apart in about two months of once or twice a week usage. I'll only buy UA for that use. Have been wanting to try some longer ones for under the boardshorts as well, just haven't pulled the trigger. Thanks for the review, will check out the skins...
 
Can anybody compare the fit of the flyknit racer to the metcons? I'd like to pick up a pair and might not have the opportunity to try them on first. I need a good shoe for leg day at the gym

i would say they run the same in lenght.

metcons are wider at the toebox.

obviously flyknit stretches with wear.

metcons too (Ive only worn first cw so og mesh) but not to the same extent.

i workout 6x per week and were metcons daily. ive had them since april
