How Compression
Apparel Works

Imagine this: Your leg is a two lane highway with little to medium traffic at rest. Now you're racing or training hard which equals rush hour. The result: traffic jams, delays in arrival and return. Major lactate acid build up resembles new construction sites....it will only get worse from here.

The SLS3® Compression Sox mean a widening of your two lane highway into a four lane freeway. Workloads of high intensity training, long durations and racing are now able to move without being held up. Traffic aka oxygenated blood gets all the way into the foot, lactate acid can be transported out at the same time without major delays.

As a result, you will be able to work longer, harder, faster and get back to it earlier!

Compression - How much?
Compression is measured in mmHg. This stands for millimeters (mm) of mercury (Hg) and is the average measurement of compression firmness at the ankle.
There are different levels of compression possible.

8-15mmHg offers a very, very mild compression. It's preventative and helps with minor fatigue and cramps.

15-20mmHg offers firmer compression. It helps with mild foot and leg swelling, tired and achy legs, and prevents several mild varicose problems.

20-30mmHg is where SLS3 comes in. Our Compression Sox average around 26-28mmHg. This is considered firm compression that helps with severe swelling, reversible lymphoedema, moderate to severe fatigue and cramps, and severe vein insufficiency.

Above this there is yet more compression to be had BUT it is for medical indication such as irreversible lymphoedema and elephantiasis.

SLS3® Compression Sox - Keeping It Cool!
The special material used for the SLS3 Compression Sport Sox is designed to keep you cool when wet due to sweat or extra water applied on the Sox. The cooling effect will you to keep your body temperature down ( especially in extreme hot races like Hawaii ) which results in an improvement of performance.
