leg Sleeves

whats the deal with some pros wearing these leg sleeves what are they for and who makes them ? are they just legs cut off old wet suits? or is it a specific type of material ?

I think the idea is compression. It's kind of like Kiniseo Tape, where pressure can be used to keep overstretched connective tissues, like tendons, from moving more than they should.

Take a look at this one, has some good examples.

okay thanks a lot !

I use the compression sleeves from Zensah, not for wakeboarding but for running. good fit, easy towash and they don't stretch out.

2xu recovery compression sleeves on East Bay. I dont know if they will slide around or not while wet but my friend that plays D1 college football says it works for him.

I have no idea. I have been checking monthly if they have distributors in the US or in Europe, but untill now i didn't find anything

I have never had a problem with my legs, but I would consider the models for the arm. I wonder if it would help with the old cable yank-arm. If anyone has experience, please post up.

They don't work that way. It is a compression garment. They help reduce lactic acid build up in muscles and speed up recovery. Great for leg training and so on.

Thanks for the info. I really had no idea.
