Anyone tried their calf guards? Looking at getting a pair, and I'm a bit puzzled as to order them on this side of the pond, with shipping within ConUS is about $60USD. To order them through ProBikeKit, with International shipping is only about $30USD. Kinda puzzling to me, but if anyone has tried them and thinks that they aren't worth it, speak up!

    Try LineBreak or Skins if they're more easily available? I have Linebreak calf compression, they're very good. If you can though, try to get a brand that has a partial 'sock', rather than the usual stirrups - I find personally I'd like a bit of ankle compression that the stirrup versions lack.

    I do have some 2XU 3/4 tights, they're good too. I think of the 3 brands I have, I prefer Skins, for qiuality of fabric and general feel of the compression.

    Thanks for the confirmation y'all. Just ordered a pair of the calfguards from PBK.
