Compression pants are a must-have for any self-respecting fitness enthusiast, outdoor runner, strength athlete or weekend warrior. They not only keep your legs warm in colder weather, allowing you to stick to your 24/7, 365 training schedule, but they promote blood circulation and protect your muscles while you’re exerting yourself.

Different athletes have different needs, however, and while some compression pants are specifically designed for runners, or for cold-weather training, others are geared towards yoga and warm-weather training.
To help you pick the right compression pants for your needs, we’ve compiled this handy guide, selecting our favorite options for a variety of training needs and purposes.
Nike Pro Full Length Training Tight
Nike's Pro lineup of gear and apparel takes their already-stellar equipment to the next level, and their Full Length Training Tights are no exception. They're an impossible combination of thin and durable, while offering incredible moisture wicking that keeps up with even the heaviest sweaters. Heads up, though: if you plan on wearing these as standalones, sans shorts or pants, skip the white colorway.
Jordan Sport Dri-FIT 3/4-Length Tights
Nike is great, obviously, but their Jordan brand has been quietly making its own name in the apparel world, separate from their elite basketball shoes. Case in point? The Sport Dri-FIT 3/4-Length Tights. Designed to be snug and form-fitting without being restrictive, these are a phenomenal option for athletes of all stripes, offering the perfect balance of support and mobility.
Under Armour Base Leggings 3.0
The OG of the compression clothing market, Under Armour has done everything but slow down, and their latest version of their mega-popular Base Leggings, the 3.0, show they have no plans to anytime soon. Boasting their phenomenal four-way stretch technology for maximum comfort, as well as their proprietary Scent Control technology to prevent them from taking on unpleasant odors, these leggings are as comfortable on the 50th wear as they are on the first.
DRSKIN Compression Pants
If you’re looking for a jack-of-all-trades compression pant, look no further. DRSKIN’s offering comes in a variety of color options, all of them made from the same polyester-spandex blend, giving you maximum range of motion. The material is designed to be minimally abrasive, and even blocks 98.8% of UV light, so you can train outdoors without worrying about sunburns.
Lululemon All-Sport Workout Tight
It should surprise absolutely no one that a company built around making comfortable, durable leggings also makes incredible compression pants, but too many guys sleep on Lululemon for athletic apparel. Their All-Sport Workout Tights boast some of the best sweat-wicking technology we've tested, while the fit (assuming you get the sizing correct!) delivers phenomenal confidence through a full range of movements and exercises.
2XU Force Compression Tights
If you want the maximum of confidence and stability from your compression pants, 2XU deserves your attention. Their Force Compression Pants use their proprietary Muscle Containment Stamping (MCS) technology to intelligently map the hamstrings, quads, glutes and calves, both at rest and in motion, enhancing your postural awareness, reducing muscle fatigue and preventing injuries. They're also extremely comfortable, with flatlock seams to reduce chafing and a flat jacquard elastic waistband that makes these easy to wear solo or underneath shorts.
