Calf sleeves (Read 1231 times)

Is there really a big difference between the Zensah sleeves and the ones I bought at Academy (McDavid brand)?  I mean other than the price?  Everyone seems to love the Zensahs, but I'm wondering if there's something specific about them that makes them better.

Better at what?

I think to get the full placebo effect you must spend as much as possible, so I'd go Zensah.

Ahem.  Those of you who use calf compression sleeves and feel like they are beneficial, do you have a brand preference?

Sorry.

 

I don't have compression sleeves (not sure if you're referring to calf or arm), but they seem like they'd be comfortable.  (One of the few things I like about winter running is wearing compression tights.  They feel good.)

 

I've heard some folks just use TED hose, and they work just fine.  But you look like you belong in an old folks home (apologies to those residing in said places).  Zensah (to me) looks like it gives the same sort of benefits while allowing you to look as cool as possible with compression hose on your legs.

You there. Ohio tutu boy. Get off my lawn. And yes I will wear black dress socks with bermuda shorts and yell from my porch. I have no fear.

 

Actually, I don't know what they do other than help keep you warm without over dressing. I bought a pair of Pearl Izumi arm sleeves on eBay for $5. Haven't worn them yet but figured at that price I can't lose.

 

Read this little review perhaps it will help

 

 

Older people are often wearing those ugly looking compression socks/sleeves you can get at a Walgreens.

It is quite presumptuous to speak in the third person. 

Interesting link, C-R--thanks.
