Also, if looking into these, check the weight. Many brands have multiple thicknesses, US goes from 1 (the lightest) to 4 (the thickest). When hiking, I tend to like the 1 or 2 on my legs if temps are under 30.
Compression gear is specifically for muscle stamina and/or recovery. Some do provide warmth, but that’s not their primary function, in fact a high compression legging can actually hinder circulation in low temperature/low activity situations.
