GUIDE

WHAT IS COMPRESSION?

Compression isn’t just tight sportswear, it’s precision equipment designed to help your body perform better. Backed by medical science and engineered with targeted muscle support, our compression is built to prepare your muscles for movement, improve performance in action, and accelerate recovery after every session.​

WHY WEAR
COMPRESSION?

Decades of research show that true sports compression can:​ reduce injury risk​, improve performance​, and speed up recovery​. 

 

With premium, durable yarns and advanced graduated profiles, our compression goes beyond standard sportswear— it’s engineered to actively support your body in motion.​

PREPARE

Reduce the risk of injury​

Compression supports muscles before and
during training by:​

  • Promoting faster muscle warm-up​
  • Minimising muscle oscillation and micro-
  • tearing​
  • Helping prevent exercise-induced muscle
  • damage​

PERFORM

Improve performance​

When muscles are stabilised using compression, they work more efficiently:​

  • Keep muscles in place to reduce fatigue​
  • Improved awareness of body position ​
  • Increases oxygenated blood flow to working muscles​ in the body

RECOVER

SPEED UP RECOVERY​

After training or competition, compression helps
your body reset:​

  • Reduces swelling in covered areas​
  • Decreases Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
  • Supports lymphatic drainage of toxins​

Extra firm compression garments boost circulation
post-exercise, helping muscles recover faster so
you’re ready to go again sooner.​

FAQ

What benefits can compression provide?

During exercise: help stabilise muscles and reduce vibration; may improve body awareness and movement efficiency; wicks sweat and helps regulate temperature; provides UV protection in many fabrics.

After exercise: supports circulation and recovery; may reduce muscle soreness and swelling; helps the body recover between training sessions.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH COMPRESSION IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Compression isn’t one-size-fits-all.​ The right piece depends on:​

  • When you’re wearing it​: performance, training and recovery or solely recovery
  • How you’re moving​
  • What your body needs next​

What is compression fabric?

Compression fabrics are engineered materials designed to balance support, flexibility and durability. They typically use high-stretch yarns and circular knit structures that provide 360° stretch, allowing the fabric to move with the body while maintaining consistent compression.
 

Do different fabric structures matter?

Yes. The performance of compression garments depends on several factors, including: 

  • Yarn type
  • Fabric density
  • Knit structure
  • Garment construction

Together these elements determine how supportive, breathable and durable the garment is.

Is compression only for sports?

No. While commonly used for training and competition, compression garments can also be worn for:

  • Travel
  • Recovery
  • Long periods of standing or sitting
  • General circulation support

HOW SHOULD COMPRESSION CLOTHING FIT?

Compression garments should feel firm and supportive but not restrictive. A good fit will:

  • Stay close to the body
  • Allow full range of motion
  • Avoid pinching and numbness

Choosing the correct size ensures the garment delivers the intended level of compression.

What are compression tights?

Compression tights are performance garments designed to support the body during training, recovery and everyday movement. Available in a range of fits, silhouettes and colours, they’re built to help you feel and look your best—whatever the activity. They can be worn during workouts, as a base layer, or post-exercise to support recovery.
 

What do compression tights do?

Compression tights apply targeted pressure to support blood flow, keep muscles warm and reduce fatigue and strain during and after exercise.
 

Why wear compression tights?

Compression tights help support performance and recovery by:

  • Supporting circulation
  • Reducing muscle fatigue
  • Keeping muscles warm
  • Aiding post-workout recovery

They’re suitable for training, running, sport, leisure and travel.

What is the difference between compression tights 
and leggings?

Leggings are designed mainly for comfort and style. Compression tights are engineered to actively support muscles, circulation and recovery through targeted compression.

Do compression tights actually work?

Yes. When properly designed and fitted, compression tights help support circulation, reduce muscle soreness and assist recovery—helping you move and recover more efficiently.

Are compression tights only for elite athletes?

No. Compression tights are designed for all activity levels, with different compression levels available for training, leisure, recovery and travel.
