With options for all weather conditions, sports, and style preferences, you’re sure to find a variety of compression garments that fit your workout needs. Our gear is made with high-quality, flexible, and moisture-wicking material to help you stay cool, dry, and comfortable as you train.

What Are the Benefits of Compression?

Wearing compression clothing is a great way to support your performance and get more out of your post-workout recovery. The technology within 2XU’s world-leading compression gear will help you smash any obstacle that stands in your way.

Supports Blood Flow and Circulation

Compression gear works to support blood flow and help your body maintain healthy blood circulation throughout the area the garment covers and back up to the heart. This is helpful for both performance and recovery, as your muscles will be provided with the oxygen they need to keep moving or begin their recovery process.

Soothes Soreness, Swelling, and Discomfort

Not only does compression clothing support blood flow, it also supports the flow of other fluids throughout your body, including lactic acid. This helps the body manage any fluid build-up in your legs causing muscle soreness, swelling, or discomfort.

This way, your recovery process can be as comfortable as possible, getting you back to what you do best.

Tight, Secure Fit

The form-fitting feel of all compression gear helps provide your body and muscles with benefits that will allow you to train with even more confidence than before. Read on to discover these great perks:

Minimized Muscle Vibration

Compression gear is designed to fit snugly and skintight, and this helps to minimize excess muscle movement and vibrations.

Secure, Sculpting Feel

The slim fit will provide a sculpted look that accentuates your figure, especially in our compression tights and compression shorts. Additionally, compression shirts and bottoms will remain in place more than regular activewear, minimizing distractions and preventing you from worrying about your gear sliding up or falling.

Compression as a Base Layer

Compression apparel, specifically compression shirts, shorts, and tights, work extremely well as a base layer for all of your training outfits. The skin-tight fit allows them to easily fit under any of your activewear, allowing you to receive the benefits of compression without compromising your outfit or style.

For warmer weather, try layering a pair of our compression shorts, such as the Core or Light Speed Compression Shorts, underneath your regular gear. If you want a pair of shorts that already comes pre-layered, with compression on the inside and mesh on the outside, check out our Aero 2 in 1 Shorts.

For colder weather, try layering any of our compression long-sleeve tops underneath your jacket or top. The Ignition Compression Long Sleeve is a great option for cold conditions as it is designed to trap your body heat and keep you as warm as possible. Our compression shorts and tights will fit perfectly under your joggers as well. The Ignition and Ignition Shield bottoms are our warmest options.

Skin Protection

Both men’s compression and women’s compression wear is made with thicker material than normal sportswear, providing your skin with an additional layer of protection.

This can include mild protection against UV rays, unknowns on the trail, such as low-hanging branches and poison ivy, or stray gym equipment that you might run into. All of this will help keep you safe while you work out.

How Can Compression Gear Benefit My Sport?

Compression gear can provide benefits to any athlete who experiences post-workout soreness or fatigue. But if you’re looking for targeted support, some of our garments are specifically designed to provide you with benefits geared toward certain sports.

Compression for Running

Runners can endure a lot of impact and stress on the lower body as their legs work to propel them forward. We have a range of running compression gear made with lightweight, moisture-wicking material to prevent any excess material from weighing you down on your run.

You can use the sidebar to filter for running compression gear, but a few highlights include the Light Speed and Aero Reflect collections, which have reflective highlights to provide visibility for low-light running, and the Ignition collection, which provides warmth for winter running.

Compression for Gym Training, Pilates, and Yoga

Compression gear can be especially helpful for those who frequent the gym or enjoy pilates and yoga. For upper body gym training days, wearing one of our compression tops or arm sleeves can help support blood flow through your working muscles and soothe the soreness you experience post-workout. Try our compression shorts, tights, or leg sleeves for tough leg days for targeted lower-body support.

Pilates and yoga may be lower-impact activities, but don’t underestimate the intensity of a good class. Especially when stretching, following specific movements, or holding poses for long periods, your muscles can experience strain and fatigue, which can lead to discomfort after your session as your body works to recover.

Wearing compression bottoms can be especially helpful when trying to soothe post-class soreness, and the tight fit will help ensure that you can hit any position without worrying about your pants slipping out of place.

You can navigate to the sidebar and select training, yoga, or pilates to see our full collection. A few highlights include the Force collection, which comes equipped with 2XU’s Muscle Containment Stamping technology for an even more intense targeted level of support, and the Motion collection, which stretches with your body and works to keep you dry throughout your toughest training sessions.

Compression for Recovery

If you perform a sport in which a specific uniform is required, check out our Recovery compression collection, which includes tights, leg sleeves, and socks designed to maximize your recovery experience. These garments will help support blood and oxygen flow to your recovering muscles, soothe post-workout discomfort, and help you get ready to tackle your next training session in no time.

You can use the sidebar to filter results for recovery, but highlights include the Recovery Flex Leg Sleeves, which are easy to slip on and off and will help relieve sore leg muscles, and the Power Recovery Compression Tights, which provide an all-intensive level of recovery support and include an over-the-foot stirrup to maximize relief.
