Activ Calf Sleeves
Pair of calf sleeves

Indications

Compex Activ’ Calf Sleeves are recommended for:

• Muscle support for the calves during running (road running, trail running, marathons)
• Sports compression during cycling and long bike rides
• Improving venous return and blood circulation during exercise
• Reducing muscle vibrations that cause fatigue and micro-injuries
• Preventing cramps and calf pain during prolonged exertion
• Support for the posterior chain (gastrocnemius and soleus muscles)
• Active recovery after exercise to reduce muscle soreness
• Muscle protection during repetitive exercise or when returning to sport
• Endurance sports requiring continuous muscle support

Suitable for runners, cyclists, triathletes and endurance athletes of all levels.

Description

Compex Activ’ Calf Sleeves are essential kit for optimising your performance and protecting your calves during your running and cycling sessions.

Progressive ‘second-skin’ compression: Made using seamless 3D knitting technology, these sleeves mould perfectly to the shape of your calves to provide optimal graduated compression. This compression promotes venous return, improves muscle oxygenation and reduces the vibrations that cause muscle fatigue.

Muscle comfort zone: A specific zone is incorporated into the calf to adapt to different muscle structures and facilitate ankle flexion and extension movements. This zone ensures a perfect fit without any points of excessive compression, even during dynamic strides or intensive cycling.

Support without restriction: Graduated compression provides effective muscle support that limits oscillations of the triceps surae during exercise, whilst maintaining a full range of motion. You benefit from a muscle-stabilising effect without stiffness or discomfort.

High-performance technical fabric: The breathable, moisture-wicking fabric keeps your calves dry even during prolonged exertion. Optimal ventilation prevents overheating and ensures lasting comfort, kilometre after kilometre.

Enhanced visibility: Reflective details are integrated into the design to improve your safety during morning, night-time or low-light runs. Run and cycle with complete visibility.

Practical design:

• Ambidextrous design: each sleeve fits either the right or left calf
• Easy to put on: simply slip the sleeve over your calf
• Stays perfectly in place: the compression and knit construction prevent any slipping
• Machine washable at 40°C for easy care
• PVC- and latex-free to suit sensitive skin

Versatile use:

• During exercise: support, compression, improved performance
• After exercise: active recovery, reduced muscle soreness
• Preventative use: muscle protection when resuming training or increasing training volume

Professional durability: Compex®’s high-quality construction ensures long-lasting elasticity and resistance to repeated washing.

Sold in pairs – Available in 4 sizes (S, M, L, XL) – measure the circumference of your calf for a perfect fit.
