FAQ's:

How is Zensah Technology different?

Zensah Fabric is thermo-regulating, moisture wicking, anti-microbial, and ultra-breathable.

Who benefits from compression leg sleeves?

Any athlete in any sport that puts stress on the legs. Beginners and professionals alike can relieve pain and speed up the recovery process when training for marathons, triathlons or any other race. Compression helps stabilize muscle tissue after a workout, keeping the swelling of muscle fibers at a micro and manageable level, allowing the muscles to rebuild themselves. Compression also helps reduce inflammation that might slow down the recovery process and therefore helps reduce Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.
