What are these for? If it's warm wear shorts, if not tights. They seem pointless

Compression. Allegedly.

Bianchi Boy

Ah! Some new fangled contraption then! HeeHee!

I would say fitness helps the most.

Funny how I read part of the descriptiom:

It's secret lies in the make up of the material

A bit of careful skim reading there, calf guards are secret lies.

More training will help a lot more.

IME compression clothing can help with certain activities, but I these aren't going to help much in cycling - they're probably more suited to running like Paula Radcliffe. The cycling muscles that get used the most are the quads and tend to be the ones that tire quickest. What are the symptoms of your 'knackered legs' and perhaps we can advise?

ask yourself this though - would you rather have sore calfs - or be seen out n public with them on?????
