Strategically designed as a graduated compression garment. Studies have shown that a 20% reduction in compression from ankle to waist promotes everything from an increase in blood oxygenation, which aids in fighting fatigue, to a decrease in recovery time. Stirrups are an innovative feature that provide the highest amount of compression at the foot and ankle, which is key to speed blood flow back to the heart.

Katie says: "When it comes to technical apparel I want technical stats to back up the price point. And with all the different compression garments on the market it can be difficult to choose which brand to go with. I went with Zoot based off of the scientific testings and data they provided on the CompressRX line. I'm training for my first Ironman and my body was having a hard time shutting down post workouts or recovering fast enough to pick up the next workout. My legs always felt like they were “going” when they should be resting. It took a few wearings to get use to the compressive feeling but they quickly grew on me and are now a must before bed after nightly workouts, or under my jeans during my 9-5. I've noticed decreased recovery times and my legs have a new found restfulness. My CompressRX Recovery Tights have become my knight and shining armor."
Measuring:
Accurate measurement is essential to ensure a perfect comfortable CompressRX
fit. Measurements should be taken using a tape measure around the widest part of the thigh and calf. Sizing is based off of measurement only and are not women or men specific. If you are between sizes choose the smaller of the sizes to ensure the compression benefits.
Athletes wearing CompressRx include triathlon World Champions Samantha McGlone and Luc Van Lierde, as well as team sports athletes from the New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and several Pro cycling teams, including Team Ouch, led by Floyd Landis.
