Weight Weenie Posted June 23, 2011 Share Dunno bout the Recharge but the Falke socks I bought are rubbish ! Offer just about zero compression. Problem with socks is that foot sizing and calf sizing arent always in relation, so to fit your foot it may not fit as it should on the leg, thus I prefer sleeves and with them you can wear any socks you want or no socks - perfect for summer recovery or xterra where I just wore mine from the start and could walk around and just put on my shoes in transition so you dont need to faff with later putting socks on.

Mushilele Posted June 23, 2011 Share medac compression are ok, but their cut leaves much to be desired they eventually cut the circulation and create "hotspots" after long rides or runs. compresssport calf sleeves are by far the premium in the sport. Hot spots? You have redress with Medac, if redress is the word for great service. You can get the outlet that you bought the garments from to send them back with your proper measurements and Medac will re-cut the product to fit your individual shape. Or contact Medac directly. It's a gratis service. I like that Medac has introduced that tailored/bespoke service mentioned above - we are all different and have different requirements and they now make up individually sized shorts and bibs too with a choice of six chamois nogal.

Dicky DQ Posted June 23, 2011 Share I always thought compression garments were worn after events?? stupid me, forgot there were more marketing opportunities. What do they do while doing sport except restrict bloodflow? Ant apparently this is not a good thing when being active...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minion Posted June 24, 2011 Share After looking at the available evidence, Joe Friel (of The Cyclist's Training Bible) reckons that wearing compression clothing while riding does not really provide any benefit, but wearing it afterwards does improve recovery:http://www.joefrielsblog.com/2011/02/an-update-on-compression-clothing.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems as the jury is not completely sold on recovery either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
