This graduate compression force uses the same principles used in action sports. The RW-10 sock exerts maximum pressure at the ankle and then decreases going upwards towards the calf, to facilitate the upward return of blood circulation. This compression force is proven to minimize muscle fatigue to improve driver comfort and focus. Available in black or whitearger than you normally wear.
WHY A COMPRESSION SOCK?
To improve driver focus and comfort. Proven effective in sports use. Benefits include reduced muscle fatigue, increased in oxygen delivery, decreased lactic acid and prevents cramping.
