Performance SocksMEDICAL GRADE COMPRESSION RAL Standard
Many companies now produce compression garments, but the scientific evidence which has been shown to produce positive results at cell
level, has only been evident in compression garments which are of a medical grade. These garments have been tested by rigorous standards which are set by the top quality control for compression garments: RAL. Quite often garments are labelled as ‘compression’, especially in the sports arena, but they have not been subjected to the RAL standard certification. Garments which meet the RAL standard demonstrate a specific amount of exerted pressure and tensile strength in 20 different areas, plus they have to meet specifications regarding extensibility, thread count, pressure profile, and elasticity. For more information on RAL testing visit: SIGVARIS Performance socks are made in Switzerland for running, Fell running, Walking, Hiking, Mountaineering, Basketball, Cycling, Mountain Biking, Skiing, Football, Volleyball, Netball, Rounders, Cricket, Tennis, Squash, Table Tennis, Golf and many more sports....

The CES seal of quality guarantees perfectly calibrated pressure and thus the controlled, scientifically proven effect of this SIGVARIS quality sock. How controlled compression works when practising sports:
SIGVARIS sport compression stockings use controlled degression on the pressure, from the ankle up to above the calf to speed up the blood circulation and improve the supply of blood to the muscles. From its peak in the ankle region (23-32 mmHg), the pressure decreases gradually to about 70%. In this way venous return of the blood is speeded up and the removal of metabolic stubstances (waste products such as lactates) from the muscles is improved. For less aching of the muscles and faster regenteration. A better blood supply affects the provision of oxygen to the muscles, thus increasing performance potential. While practicing sport, it stimulates and stabilises compression of the muscles. This activation brings about two advantages:
High-tech Fibres
The special, very porous tissue surface of bamboo-charcoal yarn ensures outstandingly good uniform distribution of warmth. Activated charcoal particles embedded in the yarn take care of effectively inhibiting odours on a lasting basis. The state of the art texture of Aquarius yarn leads to unique regulation of moisture, which is transported rapidly away from the skin through micro-channels and evaporates quickly from the surface thanks to its course structure. These properties are not lost even after washing.
How compression worksThe fine pressure distribution over the different areas of the leg has many positive effects. The muscles are supplied and supported better, which promotes efficiency and prevents injuries. Decreasing compression in the peripheral area promotes the outflow in the venous system and supports the energy supply in the arterial area. Degressive precision pressure - perfect compression during sports
To support the venous return, the compression pressure decreases from the ankle to the band of the stocking and that way prevents venous stasis. Because of the compression, the muscles are supplied with more oxygen, which leads to increased performance. Comfort band with safety reflectorsThe extra-wide comfort band ensures a gentle transition of the pressure at the end of the stockings and guarantees a perfect hold without cutting in. The provision of reflectors on the comfort band provides additional protection in darkness. Achilles tendon protectorFinely balanced pressure on ligaments and muscles increases the basic tension thereby preventing injuries. Toe protectorA special padded fabric protects the sensitive toes Super Comfortable Zone with perfect cushioning
The extra-soft footbed dehumidifies the foot quickly and provides effective protection against blisters. Support and circulation stimulation in one: double protection against overloading the Achilles tendon. "Controlled Efficacy Stockings" - CESHigh-quality compression stockings in the medical field have always had a good reputation. SIGVARIS – Life for Legs. Now this has also been signed and sealed. The CES “Controlled Efficacy Stockings" seal of quality guarantees the controlled effect of your compression stockings. Only with the individual fit can the stockings exert the full compression at the right places and give you an all-round good feeling during sports. Look for the CES seal of quality! DO NOT USE IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
Care of your sock:
Performance Sock - Sizing table
Measure the circumference of the ankle above the ankle bone using a tape measure (in cm)
Measure the circumference of the calf at the widest part using a tape measure (in cm)
The ankle measurement takes priority over the calf measurement if there is a cross over in size e.g. If your ankle measures 24cm and your calf measures 40cm, then you would choose a Size – MEDIUM, then your shoe size. If you need advise PLEASE email us and we will tell you your size with your measurements - Thanks In combination with the shoe size, the individual stocking size is determined with the right compression The anatomic asymmetric fit means optimum adaptation. Only with the individual fit can the stockings exert the full compression at the right places and give you an all-round good feeling during sports.
