Knee-Length Compression Short

A knee-length short in a graduated circular knit. Pressure was measured on a calibrated leg form at 15–20 mmHg at mid-thigh and 12–17 mmHg at the knee. Those two numbers and the sites they were taken at are the whole of what we publish about this garment. We make no claim about what that pressure does.

What this piece does not do

The pressure figures above are a measurement taken on a leg form, and nothing more. We make no claim that they affect circulation, recovery, soreness or injury.
No antibacterial, antimicrobial or anti-odour treatment is applied to this piece, and we make no claim of that kind. It is a knit that can be machine washed.
It will not make you faster, stronger or fitter. It is clothing. What we do and do not claim.
