Boost your muscle performance with more power.

Bauerfeind Sports Compression Sleeves have targeted compression zones to increase transfer of oxygen and promote better circulation. This translates to longer endurance, faster regeneration, reduced fatigue, more energy.

Targeted Compression Zones

Targeted compression zones gradually decrease from lower thigh to upper thigh to promote circulation and improve transfer of oxygen to increase endurance and reduce premature fatigue.

Highly breathable microfiber

Temperature regulating microfiber keeps the joints and muscles warm but is breathable on the skin for superior comfort

Secure fit

Wide ends with silicone dotted bands and adhesive zones ensure a perfect fit that stays in place, even during rigorous activities

Durable, washable and come in pairs

The durable microfiber can be machine washed and tumbled dry. The sleeves come in pairs so you can wear them on each side or wear on one side and have a spare.

Best sleeves you can buy and great customer support

I have ordered a few pairs of this product after trying many other brands. These are by far the best sleeves for hamstrings. They do not slide down and have the right amount of compression to give me extra confidence when playing soccer that I will avoid reinjury to hamstrings & quads. They are great for during sports and I've also used them to rehab muscle strains and have noticed a quicker recovery time. I had questions about the product and Andrea in customer support was super helpful.

I have too many pair

After speaking with the very nice people at Bauerfeind, I ordered a pair of upper thigh for my lower leg. I have stubby legs and sizeable calfs and the X-long/small fits my lower leg perfectly. So comfortable, I forget I'm wearing them. I recently was able to move down to a lower leg sleeve. We'll see. Right now, I have 2 in every color except black and white because who wants to be dull when you can wear the bright ones.

Really comfortable

I wear these for jogging and they are super comfortable with just enough support and no slippage. I did have to exchange for a Large even though my measurements were within the range for Medium, but they shipped quickly.

Doesn't slip

I originally ordered these to help recover from a strained hamstring. They have good compression, and I have not noticed any decrease in compression despite many washes. I liked these compression sleeves so much that I often run with them or put them on to aid recovery after a hard workout. I have not experienced any slipping, thanks to the no-slip band at the top of the sleeve.

Great product! Great customer service!

I love the upper leg sleeve. It gives a secure feeling to my leg when running. I ordered a medium and needed to go up to a large, so my only complaint is figuring out the right size to order. My measurements were in the Medium category. Customer service was nice to replace for me free of charge and now I have a perfect fit. It stays securely in place and you will forget you have it on. The fact that it has different circumferences for the top and bottom is wonderful. You can never get a fit like this out of a generic wrap. I would definitely recommend this product.

Using this for ballet

Excellent for thigh compression. I'd strained it in ballet and I was still able to go to class and have it heal with this. Wonderful!

Work well, haven't noticed slippage like with others

I have owned these compression sleeves for a few weeks now. I haven't noticed them slipping at all like I have with other sleeves i've used in the past. So far the comfort and compression is great. A little expensive, but the quality is nice.

Perfect

These compression thigh sleeves are fantastic. I bought these because I usually get quite a bit of quad soreness after my runs (especially the following day). I went for a 8-mile run yesterday morning and once I got home (and showered...South Florida humidity sucks), I slipped these on and went about the rest of my day running errands with them on. I just now woke up and I have ZERO quad soreness. I can actually sit and stand without assistance! The size chart is absolutely perfect and they never once moved or rolled down.

Great compression and helped my recovery

Severely sprained hamstring. This has provided great compression and shortened my recovery.

Love it so far, doesn't slip. Use for tough mudder races

I have much experience (unfortunately) using thigh sleeves. Most slip and give way during physical/sports activity and/or do not provide adequate support (particularly for one with well-developed quads). This product is superbly constructed does not slip even when subjected to pretty harsh conditions (Obstacle races- MUD) or plenty of perspiration (completing sport events in 90+degrees), and affords you great thigh support.

This is how you determine the perfect fit for optimal effect.

GenuTrain® - Knee Brace
Knee support for active stabilization and targeted pain relief The new-and-improved GenuTrain provides secure support for mild instability and relieves knee pain and swelling. With a new Omega+ pad, the support provides targeted stimulation to sensitive areas of the knee that influence pain perception and mobility. Its anatomically-contoured knitted fabric with soft textured surface provides gentle massage and activates the body’s proprioceptors to keeps the support in place. Embedded stays with flexible bending zones and donning and doffing aids ensure a secure fit and make the support easy to put on and take off. GenuTrain is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, especially in the sensitive area in the back of the knee, for all-day wearing comfort. With medical-grade compression provided by a comfortable knitted fabric, the GenuTrain knee brace produces intermittent massage during movement, relieving knee pain and stimulating the body’s metabolic response. This improves circulation to bring more oxygenated blood to the affected tissue and reduces pain and swelling in and around the knee. GenuTrain’s uniquely-engineered design activates the body’s own stabilization mechanisms: Its soft knitted fabric is anatomically-contoured and texturized to ensure full contact with the skin, engaging proprioceptors that send signals to the brain. This feedback leads to improved control of the muscles stabilizing the joint. GenuTrain’s new-and-improved Omega+ pad protects and encases the kneecap, stabilizing the joint and massaging the surrounding tissue during movement. This feature enhances the pain-relieving and sensorimotoric effect of the support by stimulating two sensitive areas of the knee: the Hoffa’s fat pad and the base of the meniscus. In these Hoffa spots and meniscus wings, the viscoelastic gel material incorporates flexible massage nubs, providing additional selective stimuli during movement to counteract unnatural corrective habits. The GenuTrain knee support remains securely in position. Lateral plastic stays embedded in the brace have flexible bending zones that follow the user’s movement patterns and stretch the knitted fabric around the knee so it does not slip. Donning and doffing aids integrated into the stays make it easier to put the support on and take it off. Thanks to compression-reduced edges and a soft, airier knitted comfort zone in the hollow of the knee, GenuTrain is comfortable to wear, even during longer periods of intensive movement during the day.
