How much Compression?

I am a tennis player and have neoprene and ace sleeves and this feels like less compression than those since it is so lightweight but it also doesn't bother you if you wear it at night as those others do. I just found myself very allergic to the silicone bands that are part of it.

i think for both it depends on ur size, its a good product i've been using mine for a year no runs so far and the compression seems still good on my calf.

its not to heavy, extremely stiff, I wouldn't think it would compress compactly.

I think it's compressed because it's quite light, but pretty good quality..

I just checked mine and at the end where it is more rigid it measured 5mm. Along the sides (where it wanted to compress) measured anywhere from 5mm down to about 4.85mm

These are 17.5" when compressed. If you have any other questions please let us know.

You should be sized by your doctor. That way you are sure to get the correct size, as well as the right amount of compression. If there is too much compression, it can be really painful.

I am not exactly sure how you define compression but I wear them all the time to crossfit and they they stay in place (a couple of inches higher than mid-shin) during the entire hour of a strenuous crossfit workout. I also never feel that they are so tight that they cut off circulation. So I think they are perfect. I hope this answers your question

It does compress when you push on it. I ride for about 30 minutes on my stationary bike and it's OK.

My B&W 601's weigh in at 6.1 kilos (13.4 lb). They do not make a dent in the foam. I'm sure you could could a few pounds heaver before any compression.

Hi, the higher the number, the more the compression. Usually your doctor will tell you what compression you need.Liz

Hi RD; it's to be carried in back pack or pannier etc; the straps you see in the picture have been pulled tight to produce the compression. Hope that makes sense :-)

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

We got the XL size and that is what we needed. My husband's legs were so swollen that we needed the XL. I thought they looked so big when we unpacked them, but when they are filled with air the compression was adequate and worked well.

Compression as in tight sticking to your body and showing every parcel of your body. Thanks for asking.
