Did a search @ Amazon. And i manage to find some 2XU products. After selecting a 2XU Men's Performance Compression Short and a 2XU Men's Graduated Performance Compression Tights, it only adds up to ard SGD$150. Can someone verify the price? Coz its quite unbelieveable when the long tights alone retails ard SGD$175.

I bought mine from amazon as well, it was $56++ just a few weeks earlier. Mine arrived in a classic amazon smiley box with ample air packaging and the entire 2xu box was unscathed in the delivery.

I can only imagine the journey it took considering it was manufactured in thailand, warehoused in fulfillment center at OR, dispatched to KY for air freight and sent halfway way across the world back to SE Asia. Carbon neutral it is not.

Its the exact same product as sold by the 2xu website based in australia. I've only bought the trisuit once off 2xu.com and the packaging is similar to the full compression tights I got from amazon.

Make sure you buy it from amazon and not third party, I've never had any issues with amazon and I've bought on average 14 items per year from them now.

Including air freight from dhl its still cheaper than what you'll get in singapore.

and it's cheaper than the talkabout 2XU.I shouldn't follow the masses.If people wear 2XU,let them be. It's about you who made the choice.So here I am making CW-X as my choice.

Saw this thread and try to order from Amazon. Never tried to order anything online before. Placed my order for CW-X 3/4 length tights and cost around USD$50+ and shipment another USD$11+ on 12 June 2011. Just received it today via speedpost. Everything is in good condition. The quality is much better than 2XU tights. I think that retailers in Singapore are selling too high to earn more profits from us.

Name me one local retailer that does sales the scale of amazon. There is no way they can compete on price if local stores only import a few dozen pieces of each item.

Was down under and Australian retail for 2XU is even higher than the US and Singapore, some items still higher even after discount.

Amazon sells in a whole bulk so I guess they are able to sell cheap? Or maybe stock clearance?

Unsure if this was brought up before, would like to hear from others whom have tried various tights.

2XU vs. SKINS vs. CW-X etc.

Thanks.

I use SLS3, CEP, CW-X, 2XU and Zensah. (all compression) been using most for them >2 yrs for events

All ordered from states. Local just to ex.

I have a few of each brand

My personal choice:

CEP for me. (Socks, tri suit and calf sleeves)

CW-X for my cycling and running tights

I am using CEP (http://www.cepcompression.com/) but I don't see much discounted apparel available online.

Not tried any other.

CEP is very comfy, but at the expense, I see that material is not as lasting as it is softer, but compression better

the 2XU anytime. there's always a trade-off somewhere.

I have a ebay seller who does CEP quite reasonably priced. If you need the contact, let me know.

I got my full CEP compression trisuit (not china made one like some brands, then still pay more)

at ard SG$240 with shipping a few months back. Calf sleeves ard SG$55? if I rem

Just for your thots :)

Hi guys,

I just received a pair of CW-X pro tights. I'm wondering if it is necessary to wear underwear under the tights as the main seam (that which goes front to back, through the crotch) is not flat-stitched and I'm worried that it may cause chafing in a very sensitive area.

need advice from the pros. :)

some say wear and some say no need. i will always say, no need to hear others say, try it out yourself and if it cause chafing, then wear underwear.
