Figure this might be the best place for you to hopefully notice this.

I see that 1000-denier tights do exist (TIL). Could a sport/compression-specific fabric blend be produced that has extremely high compression and also high abrasion resistance?

Compression clothing is notoriously fragile; it all-too-happily shreds itself at the slightest tug or snag. That keeps "big sport compression" in business, but these items are $150-$400 retail...

There's a very big demand vacuum for solutions in this specific space at the moment as far as I can see.

I definitely see opportunities in the sport market now. I don't personally have a pain point here so it wasn't where my mind immediately went - but it has been great to see interest in new variants for people who seem to have the pain of wearing through their sports tights!
You should definitely make sports compression gear with the material you have, I'm pretty sure people would easily pay 400-800 dollars per pair (myself included).
