Being on the road so much itsports tights have greatly improved my ability to recover, particularly between sessions and on the long flights to competitions. I also believe that they have increased my maximum strength in the gym leading to improved performance when training and competing.

itsports tights are very comfortable to wear between sessions and at night. They help me to perform at my optimal level at each session by reducing recovery time and muscle fatigue.

itsports tights mould around my lower body and compress my muscles to give me added confidence to lift heavier weights in the gym and give me the recovery I need to back up session after session.

Living on the Gold Coast and training in the heat, it is amazing that wearing these new itsportstights produces no discomfort whatsoever, if anything I feel stronger. I sleep in itsportstights most nights and definitely feel my recovery is enhanced. Now being a master competitor I believe the benefits are even greater for the older person.

In the sport of Triathlon there is plenty of training sessions to cover in a limited amount of time. itsportstights have enable me to recover and stabilize my muscles in a reduced time period, which in turn enables me to back up for my next session in a shorter amount of time. They have also increased my awareness of which muscle groups are working effectively and which ones need improvement.

I have been using itsportstights for the past 18 months and find they are an essential part of my Rugby kit. Whether it be training or post game recovery, I find my body to recover quicker from the rigours of 7’s and 15’s Rugby Union.

I recommend any athlete who is serious about achieving optimal performance and recovery to wear them.

I have been wearing the itsportstights and they have helped with the recovery of my knee. I have had knee pain but since my physio and sleeping in the tights my knee is feeling great. My legs in general feel real good.

The Australian Team recorded a best ever result of second in the 2006 World Championships. The feedback on your new itsports tights from the team was extremely positive. Some athlete's continued to wear them for a couple of days after there long flight and also during the competition. Some comments were; " Will definitely look to use again, felt fresher and better prepared when we arrived in Germany" " Felt so much better when we hit the pool in Germany" " Sensational, would highly recommend itsports tights to anyone travelling overseas" " Very comfortable"

I just arrived home from a big trip overseas, where I travelled to Kula Limper, Japan then back to Melbourne for various swimming competitions. While I was traveling on the plane and in gym sessions I wore your recovery compression tights and I found them to accelerate my recovery period a lot quicker. Also I found that the material didn't stretch or get looser, compared to other brands I have worn. In addition I did three gym sessions in them and I found they helped my recovery period between my gym session and the afternoon swim session and they are even comfy enough to sleep in. I liked them very much and I will definitely continue to wear them.

I am writing to thank you for your support in supplying me with itsports tights. I have found that wearing the tights in training and competition have aided with recovery and enable me to maintain my peak power longer. In early April 2008 the National Kayaking Championships were held at Penrith, Sydney and they were followed by the Olympic Kayaking selection trials. I am pleased to inform you that I have been selected as a member of the Australian Olympic Team for the Beijing Olympics in August 2008.

Feedback on the itsports tights, I didn't want to give you my opinion until I had thoroughly tested them out.
I am happy to tell you they are everything you said they would be. I went running in them again this morning and they are fantastic. Also tried sleeping in them one night after a couple of big sessions only to wake up with sore arms and perfect legs so they must be doing something extraordinary. I am spreading the word of their excellence.
Thanks again

I have tested the it sports tights for a few weeks now and have found that it is a very good product to wear to bed for an after exercise muscle assistant. I am prone to muscle soreness but with this product I have found my recovery time to be excellent. In the harsh environment I am currently deployed in I have great confidence that the itsports tights will hold up well as they have kept me cool in the extreme dry heat and are now keeping me warm in the extreme cold that is currently hitting Iraq. For muscle recovery and cardio fitness improvements I believe this product will be a help thank-you for your support

“I have tried many brands of compression tights but the quality of itsports is far greater! I’m training 5 hours a day so recovery plays an important roll in my training program. I find that when I wear my Itsports tights my recovery time is so much shorter!”
Hayley Bateup

We are currently in Genoa competing in the Water Polo World League,
The boys have made extensive use of your compression tights in both, recovery and flying, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with boys making comment in the difference in support your garment offers as opposed to some of the opposition clothing.
This has translated to no incidents of any swollen ankles and/or sore muscles in the long distant flights from both Australia to Los Angeles and the flight from Los Angeles to Europe.
In regards to the recovery some of the squad are sleeping in the tights and wearing them for their gym and weight sessions again with positive results.

Thank you again for the compression tights and we throughly recommend them, and look forward to the upper body garments.

I wanted to drop you a quick note to commend the ITSPORTS compression tights for long haul flying. Read more...

I'm one of the goalies in the Australian Olympic Water Polo Team going to Beijing.

I wanted to convey my appreciation to you for supplying the itsports compression tights.

I used them overnight immediately after you gave them to us at the pool and woke up the next morning recognising their great value.

Being a goalkeeper, we are predominantly supporting and elevating ourselves out of the water using our legs. Our legs have to be capable of performing endurance and explosive actions. Normally, the next training after a hard session the explosive component suffers. After using the tights in between trainings and overnight, I have had substantial benefits in recovery and felt a great deal more explosive for the start of the following session.

Using them on the plane and sitting behind a computer at work has also been greatly beneficial.

Thank you for supplying your product. This will be my third Olympics and 15th year of representative water polo, hopefully the tights will help me to get through more years to come.

Kind Regards,

“My name is Ben Eaton and I am 27 years old. I am fit and healthy but over the last 12 months I have experienced the sudden onset of varicose veins. It has affected both of my legs and is proving to be quite painful. I fly regularly for both business and pleasure (I have my private pilots license) and this is possibly the cause of the sudden onset. After seeing a varicose surgeon I have been advised that surgery is the only option. In the mean time it was recommended that I wear pressure stockings daily. This proved to be of little relief.

I have since discovered the IT Sports stockings and am now wearing them daily, sometimes for up to 12 hours. To my surprise they have proven to be extremely cool and comfortable and have massively reduced the discomfort in my legs. I actually forget that I am wearing them. I plan not only to wear them up until the operation but in the future to help reduce any relapse in my condition.”

Thank you "itsports" for greatly improving the quality of my life with you sports tights. I am a 60 year old man doing a physical occupation and diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hips. My movements have been greatly impaired over the last 3 years, simple things like walking, bending over, putting on my shoes and socks have been quite traumatic but since wearing your sports tights all these activities have become far easier and less painful.

This is not a cure for this disabilitating disease that will happen with the double hip replacement but in the meantime how much more pleasant and easier are simple living actitivities.

Osteoarthritis Sufferer

I have now been wearing these compression tights for just over 3 weeks. I had been experiencing tightness behind the left knee due to problems with a varicose vein and as an entusiastic cyclist I needed support to enable me to continue cycling. It was just so important to maintain fitness and enjoy exercise as a 61 year old.

Wearing your compression tights has completely taken away the nagging pain in my left leg. This happened almost immediately. What has been the best news though is that I am able to cycle as before with confidence in your product. The support to both legs is just amazing. Like others, I have found my recovery rate very speedy and the benefits seem to go way beyond the original reason for purchase. That I not only have compression tights and cycling pants seems another added bonus as well.

Many thanks,

Dear Carl,

I am writing to you not only to thank-you from the bottom of my heart for your caring,understanding and generous nature, but also your professionalism.

In 2007 both of my boys 7 and 10 were diagnosed with Becker Muscular Dystrophy, a degenerative genetic muscle disease which is often picked up finding abnormal levels of Creatinine Kinase,(CK) Our worlds fell apart. The grief of this diagnosis effects everyone differently. For me as a mother, the desperation to find something/anything to help my boys before this monster takes hold was paramount.

My eldest and very active son started to have crippling leg cramps and pain at night . So much so that he had to be carried to bed,massaged for hours and given pain relief. No one wants their child in pain. This was torture to think that this was the future, it had begun. I had heard of others boys suffering from this through the muscular clinic. I did not want my boys on pain relief regularly. There had to be an answer.

I was told of an ad about a product claiming to reduce the level of Ck in athletes. I had to have them. Within 30 minutes of speaking with you, my boys were measured up and the order was through. I can't thank-you enough for you understanding and eagerness to help. How good can this be!

Well proof is in the pudding. The results are remarkable to say the least. Since receiving the tiny tights that you had made especially for my skinny boys, there have been NO cramps in my house. Not one night of pain. WOW!!

My eldest son loves them. He wears them nearly every night. Particularly after a strenuous day or the night before an activity. They give him the confidence to be at his best which is very important psychologically as well as physically as unfortunately this disease is unpredictable and there is no cure to date. Needless to say he is a new boy and we are ecstatic!!!! Fortunately my youngest son hasn't had much pain and doesn't need to wear them very often . But I know that in future that the tights are the first thing that I'll reach for before the medicine cabinet.

I'm so confident in this product Carl, that if you ever need a recommendation for others families in our situation, PLEASE don't hesitate to contact me. I would do anything to help..

All the best,

Kind regards,

Happy Mother of 2 pain free boys.

I suffer from Bekker Muscular Distrophy. This gives me muscle weakness and in most cases severe cramps in normal day activities and during physical activity. After trialing the itsport tights they left my legs feeling relaxed and I felt a huge reduction in pain and soreness the next day.

I recently have been sleeping in them and have found a great difference within the soreness of my legs. I recommend to anyone.

thanks
Jordan
