Anyone know if these provide stronger compression than the Imak version?

Same compressiooon but. Imak wear better.isotonors stretch out and the stitching pulls out so you have to sew them back together.

I don't know about the Imak gloves, but these provide excellent compression and they last for several washes before they begin to loose their "squeeze." If you need strong compression, buy a pair, turn one of them inside out and wear both at the same time... Good Luck!

I don't have experience with the Imak glove. However, I have had a positive experience with the Isotoner. My hands swell with exercise but has been relieved since my use of the gloves. The fit is snug and comfortable. Other gloves I tried in the past made my hands sweat. I have not had this problem with this glove, even in hot temperatures and easy to launder.

I have both the Isotoner and Imak compression gloves. They are both very good but I do think the Isotoner ones have a bit stronger compression. Also, the Isotoners fit my hands better. I have short fingers and the Imak come too close the the finger tip for me. So the Isotoners are a better fit for my hand and seem to have a bit stronger compression.

I have them both. These sound better but don't clamp as hard or fit my head as well. The decreased clamping makes them more comfortable but they leak more sound out and don't isolate as well from outside sounds. I kind of like the 280's for drowning outside noises.

I got 2 XL legs and they are rather large. I have used them, but I don't feel that I get much compression. I have been meaning to contact the company to see if I can purchase a smaller size leg.

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

Absolutely!!! The bigger ones give you advantage in the traction. This ones are better to snorkeling, are big enough to give you enough pushing to snorkeling and its little enough to carry them comfortably.

No, they aren't exactly comfortable. I would recommend the etymotics over these all day. As a stage musician I tried both and these ones muffled things worse than the old school spongy ones.

I can't be sure but do know it's better than nothing. I almost think the compression may be too light.

I have Mirage 15's on them. They are a little over 40 lbs and have no visible compression. I hope this helps.

That's a hard question to answer because it is all relative to what other compression hose/socks you've used before.I'd say they are a little harder to put on than the low compression hose out there. Definitely not as hard as the high compression Sigvaris or Jobst stockings. I use them everyday instead of using Jobst/Sigvaris with my normaldress socks on top of that. I use these as my dress socks and "kill two birds with one stone".

Did not have the MIE2i but really enjoy the Freestyle. Touted to be more sweat resistant which is certainly true. Have many sets but like these the best.

The ones that say Elevation are 20-30mmHG. The ones called on the spot are 15-20 mg. that is what it said on my packaging when I got them. Both say elevated compression ... I've worn both... Both work well for me I had ankle surgery last September and I teach school so on my feet all day... They are the only brand I've found that keep me on my feet and swelling down

They are the same compressor under a few different names for some odd reason. Get whichever one is cheaper

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

I have used them in a running shoe and the impact absorption has been great. I am sure slow walking with heavy load should get good support too,not sure life of a pair due to prolonged compression though.

It is more compressive thannothersocks i bought of other branda it's very difficult to take out. I can recomend it. Hope this review helped you. Cheers from Paraguay

the one I have is alot quieter than a regular compressor.one with 60 dB may be quieter ,but may not be as good for the work .

Yes they are thin, make sure you order a size that provides right amount of compression
