Improved Circulation and Recovery with 2XU Elite Compression Tights

Building on 2XU's market leading compression tight, 2XU's elite tights are for the athlete who wants even more. Combining a new generation 70 denier fabric with our existing high power 50 denier fabric, 2XU elite compression tights offer superior compression to enable greater muscle stability and injury prevention.

The new generation 70 denier fabric, with 15% more support and 25% more power than the 50 denier fabric, has been designed to support the calves and hamstring muscles - areas which are particularly prone to fatigue, injury and muscle soreness.

Benefits

IMPROVED RECOVERY -Therapeutic rated fabric provides greater pressure and recovery benefit by helping the pumping action of the cardiovascular system; removing blood lactate from exercising muscles leading to faster muscle repair.

IMPROVED CIRCULATION - Faster warm up and enhanced overall circulation. Graduated compression of the limbs actively encourages and increases venous return to the heart and lymph to the lymph nodes.

REDUCED FATIGUE - During exercise, your muscles are exposed to forces that cause vibration. This major cause of muscle fatigue, known as muscle oscillation, can be reduced when wearing compression garments. This leads to improved muscle endurance, strength and power.

HEIGHTENED AGILITY - Heightened proprioception increases senses and awareness for enhanced stability and agility. Proprioception can also help with improved technique as you remain aware of your body's positioning, improving the balance control system and muscle coordination.

REDUCED DAMAGE - 2XU Compression features muscle containment properties which reduce muscle damage during exercise and minimize swelling post-exercise. Additional benefits include significant reduction of exercised-induced conditions such as Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).

Technology

2XU Circular Knit Construction

2XU Compression garments are the only multipurpose compression garments constructed using a circular high gauge knit structure. This structure delivers and evenly distributed 360 degrees stretch compression not achievable in garments with a traditional tricot knit.

2XU Anti Bacterial

Embedded with an antibacterial, odour resistant application, 2XU compression can help minimise odour and prevent bacterial growth.

70/50 Denier Circular Knit Fabric

Combining a new generation 70 denier fabric with our existing high power 50 denier fabric, 2XU elite compression tights offer superior compression to enable greater muscle stability and injury prevention.  50D/CK fabric is the standard fabric utilised throughout the entire compression range*, although there is nothing standard about its quality. Through a combination of high gauge 50 denier elastomeric yarn and advanced circular knit technology, 2XU engineers have developed unparalleled compression garments. Optimal muscle containment, garment pressure and durability are consistently provided – all of which deliver maximum benefits to the wearer for longer

*Except those garments using higher gauge fabric

Durability

2XU Compression delivers long life performance through the use of Invista Lycra. Vitally important to achieve a high level of elasticity and maintain compressive properties over the life of the garment, Invista Lycra enhances durability enabling 2XU Compression to outperform its rivals by a massive 40%.

2XU DVT

Deep Vain Thrombosis is a condition that mainly affects the lower body and is associated with long periods of travel or inactivity. 2XU Compression garments enhance blood flow in these areas through enhanced venous return, reducing the risk of DVT.

2XU Sun Protection

Through Heightened circulation, 2XU Compression regulates body temperature to ensure optimal comfort in both hot and cold conditions. Drawing on the body’s natural cooling and heating mechanisms, 2XU Compression is engineered to enhance performance regardless of climate. UPF50+. Through the fabric composition of nylon and Lycra, our compression garments offer increased protection from harmful UV rays.
