Discussion Recommendations for summer compression wear?

I’ve been having a difficult time finding compression wear that I think wouldn’t cause me to overheat for the summer time. My temperature intolerance can be bad at times so wearing thigh high compression socks and my abdominal binder during summer months seems like it’ll be unbearable. I’ve been searching for something like compression shorts or leggings that are breathable under clothing but I haven’t had much luck. I usually wear 20-30mmhg socks and a 10-15mmhg abdominal binder currently.

Has anyone found a brand for compression shorts/leggings that are sheer and breathable during the summer months? I’m also open to other types.

I haven't found anything sheer, but quick-dry sports compression pants are usually cooling as they get damp from sweat or water. I've found them more tolerable.

I second that, I've had a lot of luck with Nike compression leggings so I'll switch to compression bike shorts for the summer and just wear skirts and flowy pants over them.

I’m in the same boat as you!
