Such as Skins compression tights or Segoi Piston compression tights...

I have extremely bad varicose veins and severe swelling in leg and wonder what they would be like to wear whilst cycling?

Do you think they would be any good / worth the money?

Are there any alternatives / recommendations?

TIA x

Hi
DonÂ?t know much about it myself but my husband wears the compression socks for a calf injury he has and found they worked really well.

Look at these articles I found and I found a cheaper pair you could buy.

Hi GJG, thanks for the link, I wear normal compression stockings / socks daily (well most days) as my bad veins were caused by DVTs, the DHB compression tights look a more realistic price, wish I could see them first before buying, though I suppose I could send them back.
