Unlock Running Potential: Custom AI Training for Speed Improvement [4706]

Whether it's the scorching heat or the bitter cold, in the vast crowd of runners, there's always a small group that stands out—they wear ultra-short shorts and light tops, running forward stubbornly and energetically.

Who are these people, you ask? They are the legendary running masters, most of whom are marathon experts. For true running masters, any extra adornment is a disguise, and any complex equipment is a burden. So, the ultimate attire for these masters is minimalistic! But since only the experts can afford to strip down to the basics, what should we ordinary running enthusiasts wear for training and competitions? This is where compression pants come in to solve our problem!

What are the benefits of compression pants?      

1. Compression

Since they are compression pants, they naturally have good compressive properties. This compression translates to a tight feeling on the body, which helps to increase muscle strength, alleviate lactic acid buildup, and make exercise more enduring. They also stabilize the thigh muscles' range of motion, preventing ineffective vibrations that cause extra strain, while protecting the knees and preventing cramps.

2. Support

Compression pants can also prevent the extra strain caused by muscle movement and avoid muscle and joint injuries. Their supportive effect is more evident when muscles are fatigued. Through special material stitching and weaving methods, they can enhance the overall integrity of our body, giving a feeling of having an extra layer of exoskeleton.

3. Fit

Many runners like wearing compression pants because of their good fit. Compression pants are generally lightweight and cling to the skin, reducing wind resistance during running and minimizing the burden of heavy clothing. In cold and windy weather, they can also prevent cold wind from directly hitting the skin.

4. Sweat-wicking

5. Recovery

Long-distance running can cause excessive fatigue in the leg muscles. Compression pants can help alleviate fatigue and assist in the quick recovery of muscles. Therefore, many runners prefer wearing compression pants while running.

Today, Brother Xia (Malan Xia) is here to introduce a pair of compression pants from the Spanish brand Kelme.

Brother Xia: I was first attracted by its price, and then I learned about its brand and history. That's why I recommend it.

Appearance display

Seeing this animal paw, I first thought of Baidu, and then the outdoor brand Jack Wolfskin.

Kelme is a sports brand born in Spain, with its most notable logo being the 'bear paw' pattern, symbolizing the spirit of moving forward and striving for progress. The paw print represents the attitude of leaving a mark wherever you go. The brand slogan 'Leave Your Mark' further explains this concept. Initially, Kelme focused on football gear but has since diversified into various sports fields, sponsoring Real Madrid and the Spanish national team. After entering the Chinese market, it has also sponsored various domestic leagues and marathon events.

Interestingly, Kelme's logo uses a bear paw print, similar to Baidu's paw print. I wonder what Baidu thinks about this after Kelme entered the Chinese market.

Kelme China's clothes are all manufactured domestically.

Based on my personal experience, you should buy compression clothing in your own size. Don't buy a larger size just because it's tight-fitting, as this might result in a loose fit that looks unattractive.

I bought a size L, weighing 75kg, and the pants weigh 175.8g. The pants are made of LYCRA.Lycra) fiber.

Lycra has almost become synonymous with all spandex yarns. It has completely replaced traditional elastic rubber threads. Lycra (LYCRA) can stretch 4 to 7 times its original length and quickly return to its original length after the force is released. It cannot be used alone but can be interwoven with any other man-made or natural fiber. It does not change the appearance of the fabric and is an invisible fiber that greatly improves the performance of the fabric. Lycra has outstanding stretchability. Adding Lycra to women's garments like trousers and jackets allows wrinkles to easily return to their original state, making the clothes more flowing and less prone to deformation, feeling free and dynamic. Even in meticulously tailored suits and jackets, there is no sense of tightness or constraint. Adding a bit of Lycra to knitwear like T-shirts, underwear, and fitness pants makes them fit well and feel comfortable, stretching freely and moving with the body.

Using LYCRA fiber can be considered a guarantee of quality.

The front of the pants. There is no fabric adjustment for the male area, making me think that women can also wear them.

The back of the pants.

The waistband is designed to be wider, which is more comfortable than a narrow strip.

Garment tag.

The pants come in only two colors, with black as the main color and gray as the secondary, giving a clean and simple overall look.

The front left calf area has a printed logo, and the calves have thermoplastic strips that provide support and a stable locking feel.

The thermoplastic strips on the calves. I personally think they also have a reflective effect (yet to be tested at night).

Workmanship details.

Crotch details. Mainly looking at the fabric stitching; wearing compression pants can cause chafing, especially at the thigh roots. The seam line of this pants' legs and hips is right at the thigh root, which could cause chafing.

Chafing varies from person to person. Unfortunately, I am prone to chafing. I generally don't worry about it for runs under 20km, but for longer runs, I need to take protective measures.

User experience

These are the front and back pictures of me wearing the pants. The bear paw logo on the front is quite fun and adds a highlight. The adhesive design on the back is also very dynamic, adding a lot of color to the pants overall.

Using official images to illustrate the effect of wearing them without other clothing. As I pointed out earlier, the front area is not optimized for men, resulting in an awkward fit. Additionally, due to insufficient space, there is a certain feeling of constriction, so people usually wear shorts over them for modesty. You can also observe that the crotch seam is at the thigh root.

Compression pants are inherently slimming, and black makes them even more so. My calves are short and thick, but wearing compression pants makes them look noticeably slimmer. The visual effect of compression pants is very obvious.

Summary

Kelme sports compression pants, priced around 100 yuan, backed by the Kelme brand, offer great value for money. After buying these pants, I checked out their store and found that their prices are quite affordable, reminding me of the cost-effective Decathlon.

I feel like I've found another place to shop for gear.
