2XU - Alpine MCS Thermal Compression 3/4 Tights - Men's - AW17
Thermal compression tights that offer targeted support as well as excellent protection in alpine conditions.
The MCS Range:
Labelled the 'next generation in compression', 2XU's MCS apparel range boasts the very latest in compression technology with each product specifically developed for a particular sport. MCS stands for 'Muscle Containment Stamping', technology that supports key muscles and reduces the stress of repetitive impact.
2XU have taken into account the muscle groups that each activity uses and designed garments that provide precisely targeted compression to these particular muscles, fascia and joints.
The Product:
2XU's Alpine MCS Thermal Compression 3/4 Length Tights are some of the most advanced compression tights on the market, targeted at training and racing in colder climates. 2XU's premium PWX Flex Thermal compression fabric has been specifically engineered to offer unparalleled power, weight and flexibility in accordance to the needs of the wearer, as well as excellent protection in cold weather.
These Thermal Tights utilise anatomical mapping to ensure targeted support to the right muscles that are used to power you up and down the slopes, helping to reduce muscles soreness and aid and improve your recovery. 2XU's MCS mapping is targeted at the key leg muscles that are used for balance, stabilisation and endurance:
- Glute mapping - provides support as hip extensor and greater balance and stabilisation to knees in extended positions
- Hamstring mapping - provides support and protection with flexion to knee. Helps absorb shock and protect the ACL
- Quad mapping - provides support to protect against impact during extension of the knees in skiing
The material used in these tights offers a high power denier of support to the key leg muscles and joints. The graduated compressive fit increases blood flow and contains your leg muscles to help enhance your performance. The moisture-wicking material will also help keep you dry, whilst its antibacterial properties will prevent the build up of odour-causing bacteria.
Key Features:
- 3/4 STYLE - the three quarter length style suits being paired with socks to minimise bulk under your boots.
- HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS - 2XU's compression fabrics have been used to help support the key leg muscles. Made with high quality INVISTA LYCRA, the tights contain high grade elastomeric yarns and a circular knit structure to allow for excellent stretch and flexibility.
- COMPRESSION - a graduated fit promotes circulation of the blood in your legs for enhanced muscle performance and a faster recovery.
- WARMTH - the tights are designed with PWX Flex Thermal fabric to offer added warmth and support in colder climates.
- MCS MAPPING - targeted compression to the glutes, hamstring, quads and glute muscles helps to reduce strain and muscle soreness.
- DRY - the high filament material wicks sweat away quickly from the tights' exterior.
- COMFORT - the tights are designed with a flat waistband for added comfort under your skiing gear and flatlock seams to reduce chafing.
- ANTIBACTERIAL - the tights' antibacterial qualities prevent the bacteria build up that leads to bad odour.
