I bought two pairs of women's tights, one shirt and a pair of socks. I had a hole in one pair of my tights. So far, considering I only have them for 8 months, and having only wore them about 20 times, for what they cost I don't think they held up very good. And the socks where way too tight, I couldn't wear them. The tights and shirt did make my joints feel better while working out, just didn't hold up very well for the price. Just two pair of tights and shirt were 69x2+49=$187.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
