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.

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

If you don't like a lot of compression, yes. If you are ok with compression, no.

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

It will compress super small... will go into a little bag like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81cafzvpKFL._SY679_.jpg

You will need a compressor with a regulator, keep pressure between 40 and 90 psi. The lower the psi the more texture you will have.

I think you would need more like 50+ PSI and a fairly large amount of air, like a huge compressor that can sustain constant running. But for the money this item is well worth it.

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

They are knee-high, and the compression goes up the calves. I could stand for the calf compression to be more and the cuff to be less. I don't know the compression value though.

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.

I compress as my method. Side squeezing is not effective or efficient. also they need a bit of product like an oil or cream.

my doctor told me what compression to get. size you can determine by calling the co

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.

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

The more compression the better the support for your legs, and the increase in circulation. You should get sized for a proper fit, however I believe 15-20mmHg is a good place to start and 20-30 would be preferred. If your leg feels numb the compression is too tight and you should go down a size. It should increase circulation, never cut it off.

My wife says no because of the compression aspect. If you went a size larger maybe not so bad.

Well, measuring it would be like measuring a cloud. It is about an inch or so, perhaps a bit more. But it compresses, of course. We are happy with it in our RV. Does as we needed.
