I know these are supposed to be tighter then normal compression tights, but I’am afraid I may have gotten the wrong size. For those who has experience with these powerwebs, can you rate how tight they are to you?
My main question is the “knee pad” which you can see in the embedded picture, are those supposed to actually cover your knee or be above it. Perhaps it may not affect perfromance heavily wherever it goes, but it help me decide wether it is the correct size or not.
From analyzing the stitching and structure of the tights, it doesnt look like it should fit over the knee, but of course i could be wrong


Don’t tell me to return it, all I can say is, its too late. smile

Are there any other comments regarding this product, good or bad.

As far as I’m aware that ‘knee pad’ isn’t supposed to go over the knee. Several of my athletes have them and they are quite tight.

In my honest opinion, it’s the best pair of lycra shorts I’ve worn mainly because of the comfort I get from those bands….my hamstrings feel like new and strong if that’s the right way to put it. I wear these in training a lot….

Looked like 50% of the NFL combine guys wore these too.
