@BrightLifeGo Review and @2XU_USA or @CEPsocks #GIVEAWAY!

Disclaimer: I received a pair of CEP and a pair of 2XU socks from Bright Life Go for review & Giveaway purposes.  I was not requested to write a positive review.  All opinions are my own and I have received no monetary compensation for this post. 

When I first heard about Bright Life Go, I was a little taken aback.  An online store that sells nothing but compression socks?  Kind of a Toys R Us for a sock addict like me?  Remember this?!



They sell nothing but compression socks.  All kinds of compression socks.  All kinds of brands.  And not just for running.  Cute ones to wear to work.  Comfy ones to sleep in.  



How could I pick?  But my heart is with the running compression of course!  But even that was hard to narrow down.  I couldn't narrow it down past 2 choices so I got both!  Let's start with the 2XU socks.



From the Bright Life Go website: The 2XU Women's Performance Run Sock is designed to increase athletic performance and decrease muscle recovery time. This incredibly popular sport sock features zoned breathability panels for maximum airflow and seamless, gradient compression for increased blood and oxygen flow. Ideal for: running, endurance activities, workout sessions, competitions and racing, and general sporting activities.


FEATURES & BENEFITS
  • Lightweight
  • 18-32 mmHg graduated compression
  • Muscle containment for reduced vibrations & oscillation, less muscle fatigue & damage
  • Antibacterial & SPF 50 sun protection
  • Minimize and prevent shin splints
Now the CEP Women's Progressive+ Night Run socks.  In orange because every girl needs a pair of orange tall socks in her life.  Trust!


From the Bright Life Go website: The perfect compression sock for anyone who trains, works out, or runs at night. Not only will you have increased energy, greater endurance and enhanced performance, but you'll be more visible in the dark with built in reflectors. With 20-30 mmHg of graduated compression, these athletic socks activate the flow of blood in the muscles, giving your legs renewed life. The compression and design of the sock also stabilizes muscles and joints to reduce risk of injury and improve coordination.


Features:
  • Filament fiber for extreme durability
  • Wide top band for a perfect fit
  • Extra-flat toe seam prevents pressure points
  • Reflectors for increased visibility 
  • Metatarsus compression zone for arch stabilization 
  • Openpore mesh structure in the calf 
  • Optimized Achilles tendon protector
  • Hydrophile finish effectively wicks moisture away from the skin for perfect heat and moisture management
  • Air channels for ventilation in the foot region
  • Made with: 85% polyamide, 15% spandex
 The best feature of these socks is the reflective panel you can see in this closeup picture.

  
High visibility!

So which ones do I like better?  How in the world am I supposed to pick?  Can I say both?  I like the safety features of the CEP but I LOVE the compression of the 2XU.  FUN FACT: My very first pair of compression socks were black 2XU.  So maybe just maybe I have a soft spot for them?

So here is the fun part!  You get to pick which ones you want to try.  One lucky winner gets to pick a pair of the 2XU or the Night Run CEP.  (they have men's too in both!)  Thank you Bright Life Go.  And while you are at it, go check out all the other cute socks on their site.   I am thinking these next for me?!


Or how about these?


Sigh!  I LOVE socks!  Especially tall socks with compression...all of which you can find on Bright Life GO!
