Think they're some kind of pressure equipment to prevent blood build up in the legs when undergoing acceleration in a dog fight?

They all have it. We can see them on Kato when he boards his fighter. I thought the standard uniform could be fitted with some sort of tight sleeves (notice how the top of a pilot uniform seems to pin on those buttons around the collar). But its not just the sleeves, its the whole uniform. Would be nice to know what all those harnesses and those "tights" are for though your assessment may be correct. The fighters may have some sort of innetial damper to cope with the extreme velocities but extra protection and containment is always a good thing.
While were on the pilot subject... RIP Sugiyama. You had one good line and got shot. Wonder if that will become a stapple! Any pilot besides the main 3 that opens his mouth dies... XDDD
