compression pants

Snug exercise bottoms

Compression pants are form-fitting athletic garments that apply steady pressure to the legs.

They're worn during exercise to support muscles and improve blood flow, or afterward to aid recovery.

The tight fit also wicks sweat and reduces chafing: I always wear compression pants under my shorts when I run.
