Hi there TS,

I had those 2XU's and Nike & Adidas compression gears... honestly, other than looking good & sweat more, I really don't feel the difference in using them...

I would recommend Phiten products rather than compression gears.

FYI. (I am no boasting, just sharing) I am a 4 time full marathon finisher with uncountable finishes in 30kms, 1/2 marathons & 10km runs.

This is the Malaysian Page: http://www.phitenmy.com/

I would recommend the Rakuwa X50 necklace & bracelet.

Please note that there is a lot of Imitation Phiten products out there, please buy from a reliable source or better at the Phiten shop itself.

Once you try and seen the difference... you'll always wear it

go to the shop, they have this 5kg lift test... one time you do it without and one time you do it with the Phiten wrapped around your wrist...

let me know your outcome of the test here

In layman's term, it activates the surrounding muscles to be in Ready state.

When muscles are in a ready state, affected area produces more power and heals faster. (depending on where you put the Phiten product).

For me, I am quite active in Running, Badminton and Bowling. Thus why I have the necklace and bracelet.

E.g:-

- if you wear the necklace... your breathing will be easier, lesser upper back pain and lesser headache.
- if you wear the bracelet... you are able to heal your tenis elbow faster, help's CTS patient heals faster and also produces slightly more power to increase your game performace.
- if you wrap the necklace at your ankle or knees, it helps to heal/lessen the pain for ligament injuries.

FYI, the above are what I am using my phiten for. Please note that I am no Phiten ambassador or sales person. I am recommending it purely based on my experience using it.... Sharing is caring maaaa

It is your choice to believe it or not, but please don't say I bullshit. I only share what effects it has on me and not other people.

Yes correct, he's using the LCW limited edition X50. Which I bought for my wife.

Bravo! I did not use it before, but when I used it my timing became better. thus I decided to keep on using it. Just sharing my experience.

It's really your choice on what you decide... however the best would be if you are able to lend a suit from someone to try it out 1st and see the difference... I just dont want you to feel the regret I had when I bought mine...

Once you tried, if you feel got different... then spend it on a good brand like 2XU.

anyhow I still use my compression shirt and pants thou... for swimming purposes... heheheheh
