compression tights

Snug athletic legwear

Compression tights are form-fitting athletic garments that apply graduated pressure to the legs, purportedly improving blood circulation and muscle support during exercise or recovery.

They're popular among runners, cyclists, and other athletes: I always wear compression tights for long runs.

The tight fit distinguishes them from ordinary athletic leggings.
