Three questions related to compression wear: 1. I see that 2xu has tops. Why would I need the top? What am I working so hard in my arms that requires a top-or am I missing the point? 2. When someone wears them in a triathlon race, are they swimming in them? (OK...that is truly a dumb question) 3. I assume the tights are for cool weather running?

Excuse my ignorance on this but it is better to ask something stupid and know the answer than to not ask and never really know. Flipping through Triathlete magazine I saw an ad with Jone using compression gear from 2XU. I went to their web site and saw that they have tights, shorts, and calf guards. My question is when do you use this stuff ? Racing, Training, Resting, Recovering ? Sleeping ? My Blog http://cebarnes.com
