Welcome-

Ok I've been wanting to try compression socks hmmmmm!

This is Sebastian. I am one of the owners of SLS3. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. I am happy to answer them.
Thanks.

Hi Sebastian,
I have always used the other guys compression leg (calf) sleeves because that all i really knew.
I always thought they could have been just a little bit tighter, what is the fit like on your sleeves. part of the problem is my skinny lower legs.
Thanks in advance. looking forward to trying a pair of these out.

Hi,
Thanks for asking that question. First of all there are 2 main differences that set us apart from our competitor.
1. We are using polypropylene - this material absorbs 300% less water than a regular nylon sock. So your feet will stay dry and comfortable.
2. We are using a compression of 24-28 mmHg, which is one of the highest in the industry (mmHg is the unit in which the compression is measured). You need to have a certain amount of compression to target the deep venous in order to get the perfect blood flow.
The compression (fit) on our sleeves is pretty much the same as our socks. You will definitely feel a difference. We have 2 sizes for the sleeves. Let me know what your calf size and your height is and we figure out which ones would fit you.

im 5'6, small skinny legs,
Should i order the smalls.
the only issue i really every have running is with my shins. i wear my other brand sleeves when i sleep, i dont think they are not tight enough. they help, but they are getting older so i need to try a differenet brand.

i think im just going to go ahead and order the smaller size, cant wait to check these out.

what would be your calf size?
The sleeves are more for racing purposes. If you plan to use the for training and recovery I would suggest getting the socks. The benefit of a sock is always greater than a sleeve. You want to have the ankle and foot part included.
We did the sleeves mainly for triathletes - they can wear them for shorter races from the start on under the wetsuit.
Use code "intelligent20" to receive 20% off your order.
In the socks you are between a S/M and a M/L - it depends on your calf size.
Please have a look at the size chart.
Let me know if you have any question.
Sebastian

thanks! that does make a lot of sense, thanks for the code as well, thats awesome, im leaving my house shortly but will put an order in tonight.

I always hear people talking about these. I am really tempted to give it a try. Are they truly effective? Do people notice a difference? My legs been feeling little sluggish lately. Iam not sure which way to go though sleeves or socks. I would like the best of both running and recovering.

Durr I just re read your posts. Socks for both. Thanks.

im going to order mine right now, thanks for the coupon!
