Hi Wonduboy Just saw your question... we are the suppliers of Rockets Compression Garments (RCG). RCG is the only compression garment that is locally manufactured and that is "medically classified", which mean that you can claim it back from your medical aid, provided that your medical aid scheme allows it. Because RCGs are locally manufactured it is significantly cheaper than the other products. These products are mostly imported from Oz, NZ or the States hense the heigher prices. Please feel free to visit our website, www.ppfitness.co.za for more information on Compression Garments. also, don't hesitate to contact me on ppf@ppfitness.co.za if you need some help Kind Regards
