Research has found that true sports compression can reduce the risk of injury, improve performance and speed up recovery.
Our tights are made from premium, durable yarns that hold muscles in place. They have a graduated profile to encourage blood flow to your muscles, and therefore go beyond your standard pair of tights.
It is a measurement of pressure and stands for millimeters of mercury.
Your Compression Tights should feel form-fitting through your thighs, hips and waist.
You should be able to notice compressive pressure throughout the entire garment from ankle to waist without feeling restricted in your range of motion.
The waistband should feel comfortable and supportive, but not digging in.
If it’s your first time trying on compression you may find putting them on a bit more of a workout than you expected.
Our Compression Tights have a graduated fit with the firmest part being at the ankle to improve blood flow circulation. This means they will be firm to put your foot through the ankle, and then continue to pull the excess up the leg.
Ensure the fabric is gradually pulled up your legs to avoid having fabric sagging down at the crotch which may cause discomfort.
If you’re putting on Compression Tights with bare feet, your skin will have more friction resistance. If experiencing difficulties, we recommend putting socks on first to help the fabric slide over your feet.
We identify 4 different levels of compression, which include:
Mild - suitable for low intensity and low-impact activities (ie. walking or yoga) (15-20 mmHg)
Moderate - suitable for both low and high intensity activities (ie. running or training) (20-23 mmHg)
Firm - suitable for high intensity and high-impact activities (ie. HIIT or cross-fit) (23-25 mmHg)
Extra Firm - suitable for recovery and post-activities (25-28 mmHg)

To keep your compression tights in top condition and extend their lifespan, follow these care instructions:
Wash in cold water with like colours as soon as possible after each use to remove sweat.
Hand washing is ideal, but a gentle or delicate cycle in the washing machine is also suitable.
Avoid leaving garments in the washing machine for extended periods after the cycle ends.
Do not tumble dry – heat can damage the fabric’s elasticity.
Hang to dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.
Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets as they can break down the compression fibers.
Do not iron.
Our fabrics and knit structures are designed to be durable, but proper care is essential to maintain their performance and compression benefits over time.
Compression should be firm and supportive to provide muscle stability and circulation benefit, however it’s important that you are comfortable.
If downsizing, you can expect that the garment will provide greater compression power, however it’s important that the waistband isn’t digging in, restrictive and still provides full coverage – we don’t want them to be sheer and see-through!
If you were to upsize, you would expect that it will be easier to get the Compression Tights on and likely more comfortable, however may not be applying the same pressure compared to true sized tights. Be mindful you will want to avoid having excess fabric which would be moving around potentially contributing to chafing or requiring you to frequently pull them up/adjust the fit.
Compression Tights are very versatile which will provide benefits for warm-up, during active use, recovery, injury management, travelling and medical needs. Refer to each product page to understand which product is best suited for your needs. The longer you wear compression the better the muscle support and circulation, but if you experience any discomfort, we recommend removing them for a period of time.
Avoid using in chlorinated pools.
Do not leave Wetsuit out in the sun.
Avoid smooth side of Wetsuit coming into contact with anything abrasive.
Thoroughly rinse Wetsuit with fresh water after use.
Hang Wetsuit on smooth round surfaces like a suit coat hanger.
Turn Wetsuit inside out to promote faster drying.
