Zensah Compression Sleeves
One of the huge running trends that has arisen in the past few years is the use of compression gear, whether it is socks, tights, or just calf sleeves. Zensah Compression Leg Sleeves claim to help provide runners and all athletes with calf support, shin splint relief, and decreased fatigue. Zensah has developed gradient compression which provides wide ribbing in the front for shin support and tight ribbing in the back for calf support. They are the best selling compression leg sleeves worldwide.
So with the resounding support this product seems to be getting I thought I would give it a try.
Feel and Design
Zensah compression leg sleeves are made with Zensah Fabric. This means that each pair of leg sleeves has silver ions to help regulate skin temperature and fight bacteria. The compression leg sleeves can be worn during training or for recovery to increase blood flow to the muscles of the lower leg. It can be worn during training, recovery or for traveling. I have been wearing these compression sleeves for almost three months now and I have to say they are extremely comfortable and not overly tight like a lot of other compression socks or sleeves that are out there. Although after a few wears the sleeves will stretch out. This can be remedied with a quick run through the dryer.
Look
I am not overly concerned with how I look when I’m out on the roads, but I understand that style is important to a lot of runners out there. While I purchased a strictly black pair of the sleeves, the amount of colors that Zensah offers for the calf sleeves are simply astonishing. Zensah offers 31 different colors and designs of the calf sleeves which will make it easy for anyone to find a color that can match their shoes, outfits of personal taste.
Effectiveness
Like all people I will admit that after long runs and hard workouts my calves are sore. Many people will tell you just stretch more, ice, or take some time off. Unfortunately those aren’t always the perfect answers. Usually after tough workouts my first reaction will be to put on the calf sleeves. My legs undoubtedly feel better on days when I wear my calf sleeves. The level of comfort allows me to wear them for a extended periods of time which allows my legs to recover much faster.
Conclusion
Coming in at $40 the Zensah calf sleeve is worth every penny. It is a simple and easy way to help speed up recovery and can be used as a recovery tool or fashion statement for runners of all ages! If you are looking to get a compression garment of any kind I would highly recommend giving this product a try.
