2XU Women's Elite MCS Compression Tights

I purchased these leggings for paddling, and am very impressed with how durable they are in the water. Even when wet, they are not saggy and I have no issues with chafing. The only downside I have noticed during use is how tight the waistband is! I used them for a 2-hour race and experienced bruising around my mid-section. I have an athletic build, so my waist doesn't "hourglass" in like with some women. I can see how these will work great for running, cross-training, and other more upright activities but I will no longer use them for paddling.
