2XU Recovery Compression Leg Sleeves

EDIT: Contacted 2XU about my issues and they sent me a replacement. New product was exactly what I expected, so I'm updating my review. Again, these are not ACTIVE stockings. Great for rest and recovery but not meant to stay in place while worn so keep that in mind.Ok, I added these to my compression arsenal this year. I'm a 15 years past ACL surgery and still play soccer two nights a week, about 8 years ago I had a cleanup surgery that resulted in an issue where I am prone to swelling that pools through the lower leg. I would generally wear antiembolism stockings but they were expensive and don't hold up well. My active sport compression is a combination of a calf sleeve and knee sleeve on that leg but I needed, well, something like what this says to wear after games and to bed that gives me solid compression.The good: The product is exactly what I wanted. I can wear around the house and the fit and performance is great, they don't stay up if I'm walking around all day but I don't expect them to do that. I wear to sleep and wake up with them generally in place and minimal post sport swelling. I went to the chart on their website, ordered, and got the large. Black fit great! 5 stars!The bad: The white, purchased a day apart and ordered the same size, don't fit great at all. I mean, clearly much smaller. Like when I wear the black and I look at my quad and thigh, it 'fits' at the top. When I wear the white it 'cuts'. This eventually leads to it rolling. I tried folding it down but its still rolls. Not something that I would have expected at all considering the fabric and the everything seems identical. I have a support call in direct to the manufacturer and will update my review.So my advice, great product, don't throw your packaging away, keep your expectations in line. This is NOT an active use leg sleeve and after looking at the market .. extensively .. I don't think there is such a thing. shame since I want compression on ONE leg! Gah! But for recovery? This product is right there.

Great compression. Ideal for overnight recovery These sleeves fit very true to the size chart. Not really for exercising in my opinion, as they slide down if you put them on wrong. I'd recommend you mostly wear them when you aren't moving, long car/plane rides, or every night when you sleep. That said I have pole vaulted and ran with them on no problem in the past, and I think they even helped with shin splints. I mostly recommend them for overnight because I've tested them on multiple occasions by wearing a sleeve on one of my legs and having my other leg as the control test. This experiment was most often performed after a day of hard running and/or lifting. Without fail, I would always feel less soreness in the leg that wore the sleeve overnight, thus I have concluded that these sleeves kick butt. Yeah science!Also these are tighter and more durable than the 2xu tights that I bought for 5 times the price if that says anything.

Purchased the pair for recovery. It does a good job, breathable and more flexible than compression tights. Personally, this feels more comfortable.I have short legs, and the sleeves are a bit longer for me. Buy according to the size chart and it will fit well. It doesn't have left/right difference. It feels similar to compression socks, only longer.As many mentioned, it keeps falling off due to the design, not something you'd notice, but you can see after a night's of sleep. So I would avoid to use it during a run.Overall, I'd say it is a good supplement if you are tired of wearing compression tights all the time. I would recommend if the price is significantly lower than those tights(skins a200, 2xu compression, etc).

These arrived dirty, crumpled and snagged (as if someone had worn them previously even though I bought them "new"). The leggings are very long and I ended up having to fold down the top in order to make them fit. This doubled the compression in that area and while that in part made them uncomfortable, they also bunched up and were uncomfortable at the tops regardless. The compression did not work at all. I will be sticking to my Zensah compression which actually work.

I used to product for recovery after a marathon. I wore it for 3 days after my marathon and I seem to have recovered quicker than my previous marathons, with minimal muscle soreness after day 2. However, this product was has one huge weakness and it is that it does not stay up on the upper thigh if you wear it during the day (I am size small according 2XU website). This product needs some sort of rubber backing at the top in order to keep it from falling off.I also wear it at night and it stays up fine. It does not stay even during light activity, like walking around the apartment.

I recently had ACL surgery and needed something to keep the swelling in my leg down. I considered something from CVS or Walgreens but they were all beige in color and didn't look nice. These look great! They have kept the swelling down to a minimum and the soreness is gone as well.I assume that most people will use these for recovery after a workout. If they work as well for recovery as they did for my swelling, they are a must buy!

At first, they were much longer than I had expected, they pretty much come all the way up to my crotch area and to be honest, I lose a little bit of my masculinity when I roll them up that high.They are super comfortable (and tight) You can definitely feel the difference after putting them on after a long run or cycling session.Don't forget to wash off the chemicals when you first receive them in the mail.::EDIT::After using them for about 3 weeks, I've found that even though they are very tight from top to bottom, I still find that the sleeves do tend to slip a little at thighs. The times they have slipped down towards my knee is when I wear jeans or tighter pants over them. Jeans or cotton material may tend to pull down the sleeves. However, I've worn them with relaxed fit fleece pants and another time with mesh shorts and do not have a problem with them slipping down.

Not at all what I expected.

Buena media de compresión con función de recuperación. Se ajustan muy bien en, muslos y pantorrillas, sin problemas de remangado ni de hiperpresión

輸入サイズＬで注文した結果Mが届きました。多少小さめですが使用感は不快ではなかったので良かったです。輸入サイズ日本サイズわかりにくいのでどちらかに揃えた表示はできませんか？

Only need the compression for one leg so helpful to be able to use just one. Has worked very well

These are amazing
