Good to know

Does compression help performance or recovery?

Evidence is strongest for the recovery and 'feels supportive' side — reduced muscle vibration and a snug hold. Many runners wear sleeves during long efforts for the feel and after for recovery. Fit snug-but-not-numbing.

What's graduated compression?

Graduated sleeves are tightest at the extremity and ease upward to encourage circulation back toward the heart. The comparison flags which items are graduated versus uniform, where the maker states it.
