I've wished for skill, speed, and strength every year for Christmas, every year ... I cry cause it never comes.

Nothing can make up for lack of talent but there is some evidence to suggest the adidas technology works. I blogged about it a while back.

I need a hat that will make me think faster.  Does adidas make one of those?

I got those 3 weeks ago.
I'm often limited by soreness at the hammy-glute insertions. These help tons. I have to admit that even the Underarmour ones also work almost as well.

I hope they can make up for a lack of talent…

Give me a mask and a cape and I will run as Batman in those things. smile Can they make you faster and be bulletproof?

On a serious note, I have heard good things and now I am thinking of buying them.

Its worth looking into it..its not very often that a product can be strongly recommended and endorsed by a professional association.

It has received both mixed reactions from the athletes in singapore wearing them….it takes some time to get used to the gradient compression of the garments. IMO,  i will be looking at it from a potential point to provide additional biofeedback for static skill based sports.

I have worn the Adidas powerweb gear recently, i really liked it for short speed work and gym work, not as big a fan of it though for longer speed endurance sessions, seemed to just retain the lactic in the legs.

I would say its worth a try.
