The performance of this tight comes down to two important factors: The performance of the fabric and the graduated compression fit.
The graduated compression of the tight is fundamental to remove the waste by products the body produces during high active sport, which cause fatigue. This tight pushes blood from the ankle towards the heart resulting in higher and longer levels of sustained performance with less fatigue.
Features:
Circular Knit Circular Knit is the most suitable knit structure for Compression wear with a 360 degree stretch/stretch compression. Exclusive to 2XU.
50 Denier High Power Yarn 2XU uses 50 Denier Lycra, compared with 30/40 Denier used by their competitors. Denier represents the thickness of the yarn. A thicker yarn delivers a stronger compressive power.
Accelerated Circulation, Graduated Compression
A graduated compression fit ensures that your blood flow is optimised and stays optimised, removing waste by-products in the process. This ensures you can perform longer with less fatigue.
4X Directional Stretch The Circular Knit process gives 4 way / 360 degree stretch/compression compared with the limited directional stretch obtained with the traditional tricot knit process.
2X Compressive Power Our High 50 Denier fabric rating provides compression performance you can feel.
4X Durability
Prime Lycra by Dupont has 4 times the durability compared to Asian sourced elastane (such as Roica as used by some competitors). This ensures your garment maintains its compressive properties over time.
The 2XU Compression advantage:
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.
