2XU Compression is graduated compression. Graduated compression is strongest at the extremities gradually reducing as you move up the limb towards the heart. Your Calf & Forearm muscles are the body’s circulatory pumping muscles. Medical evidence has shown that graduated compression starting at these muscles aids circulation. It is important that the garment is tight at the calf, it is therefore advisable to try on the size you have chosen and to get the sales staff to check this pressure for you.

Shorts and short sleeve tops have a circulatory benefit but muscle containment is most important for these and so the size should be comfortably tight fitting.

Superior Fabric
With circular knit technology for equal 360 degree stretch, anti-microbial treatment and highly durable 50 Denier Lycra Prime Yarn. Compresses stronger and lasts longer.

Improved Recovery
Therapeutic rated fabric provides greater pressure and recovery benefit leading to faster muscle repair.

Improved Circulation
Faster warm up and improved oxygen circulation. Encourage blood to the muscles and flush by-products away.

Reduced Fatigue
Reduced muscle vibration (linked to muscle fatigue) thereby improving muscle endurance and strength.

Reduced Damage
2XU muscle containment can reduce soft tissue damage in contact and intense sports. Preventative support and aided recovery.

Heightened Proprioception
Heightened body position sense for enhanced stability and agility.
