FWIW pro riders entire getup is 'compression' and the general consensus is that compression garments facilitate
active endeavors and do not restrict blood flow and improve performance. I do have some compression knee
high non-medical grade socks I wear in the 45°F to 60°F range for warmth. I also have some sun sleeves that are
compression that are tight for 15' then I don't notice any more.
Would I wear compression shirts/jersey/bibs/shorts: no, but that is personal preference only and I have so much
cycle specific clothing from my acquisitive phase '96-'05 that I will never use it up.
