In the world of compression gear, there is no shortage of
companies. CompressionZ is based out of
Sydney, Australia. Their co-founder, Peter, set out to develop
high quality compression gear that would be affordable and effective. His initial frustration with compression gear
is that it is typically very expensive, or does not provide enough compression
to make a difference. CompressionZ takes
pride in getting feedback from athletes and customers on what can be improved
with their products, which I find extremely refreshing.
I received calf compression sleeves, a
compression shirt and compression pants to test out. You can purchase their products from their
website or at Amazon (which I found was cheaper when I did my research).
The compression long sleeve shirt is
great for a base layer or for recovery after your runs. I found that the shirt was a little itchy at
first, but that quickly went away. I
found that there was the right amount of compression and the materials should
hold up for quite a while. The compressionlong sleeve shirt starts at $29.99 at Amazon.
The compression pant is also great for
a base layer or for recovery. These
pants were extremely comfortable from the moment I put them on and they too
should hold up for quite a while. The
amount of compression was perfect and this is my favorite product that they
sent me. Nothing is better after a race
than to throw on a pair of compression pants to help reduce the pain and get
you back out on the road sooner. The compression pants start at $44.95 at Amazon.
The one product that I felt fell a
little short were the calf compression sleeves.
Let me say that there is nothing wrong with them and they are a great
value for the money. I felt that
compared to some of the really high end calf sleeves (which I have used), the
CompressionZ sleeves didn’t have as much compression. When I asked Peter about it, he said that
most people preferred this level of compression, which I can totally
understand. I tend to want a lot more
compression than most people. The
CompressionZ calf sleeves start at $19.99 at Amazon, which is far cheaper than
many of the competitor’s sleeves.
CompressionZ provides a great product
at a cheaper price point than most of the competition. I feel that the
materials and quality of manufacturing are good and you get a great bang for
your buck. Give some CompressionZ gear a
try and let me know what you think.
Note: I received this product in exchange
for a review. The review is my personal opinion of the product and I was
not required to give a particular opinion of it. I am not a doctor, so please use all of the products
that I review at your own risk.
Thanks for this review. I've been looking around for better value compression wear, and will give compressionz a shot. By the way, what other products do they have?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. They also have compression shorts, short sleeve tops, knee sleeves and pads, and arm sleeves, compression socks, and watches.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this review. I always manage to pull something when running, so I think I will try these and see how it goes. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Jake. I hope you can find some relief from injuries. It seems like I was getting injured nonstop and then all of the sudden I was fine. I hope this happens with you as well.
