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.

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.

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

I think it is compression only after looking at the pkg. ,we got an Israeli kit that has bandages & coagulants

I would guess they are on the low end around 10-15 mmhg. If you are looking for higher compression these will not be what you're looking for. I can tell you myself and girlfriend wear them everyday to work and for being on our feet 10 hour shifts neither one of us have any foot pain when getting home now after wear this product.

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

Hi Kelly, the compression gradient ranges from 23 mmHg at the bottom (near the ankles) to 14.8 mm Hg at the top.

Compression. I inserted my piece of aquarium tubing (don't have it handy for measuring right now) and tightened down the end. Haven't had any leakage problems.

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

9 by 14. But it could be compressed a little more if you really wanted it to. Maybe by a half inch or so.

It's spring loaded and will compress from 11/2 down to 1 inch. Remember to reverse the adapter if it does not light up.

I used my air compressor that I have in my garage. I set the pressure to 25 psi to not create too much pressure.

I would say they run a bit small so they can compress properly. If you feel like you're between sizes, I would advise you to choose the larger size.

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.

I can get mine compressed to ~1.5ft x 1.5ft with the compression straps. Definitely not a lightweight compressible hiker.
