Base Layer Compression Leggings

EPIMYSIUM CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (ECT)

The powerful forces exerted on the muscular system - as well as the vibrations experienced on the lower limb during the eccentric strike phase of running - need added support to maintain performance. Each skeletal muscle fibre is a single cylindrical muscle cell, and each muscle is made up of hundreds, sometimes thousands of these bundled together. Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the Epimysium. Our ECT fabric gives these sheaths extra support during the eccentric loading phase of movement, thus reducing micro-trauma in the bundled cells during endurance runs and power events.

BALANCED AND FLEXIBLE SUPPORT

The fast transition from eccentric loading to concentric muscular activity during multi-directional sports requires a material to quickly adapt. Our 4-way stretch fabric and comfortable 80/20 mix of nylon elastin allows for reactive fibres that envelop the muscle groups above and below the hip and knee joints.

GRADUATED COMPRESSION DESIGN

Our spiralled flat-locked seams give graduated and comfortable compression which reacts to any movement, keeping you fully supported during the hardest of workouts. Increased blood flow during post-work-out recovery is a recognised benefit of our leggings from professional athlete testing. Our compression design speeds up recovery, improving performance and lowering the risk of injury.

FAST-DRYING FABRIC

Moisture-wicking fabric is essential to avoid sweat pooling on the skin and create a garment that dries fast. Our fabric disperses moisture in just 6-to-10 minutes, helping to regulate the athlete’s temperature.

ELASTIC DRAWSTRING WAISTBAND

Durable waistbands with drawstring fastening so no matter how hard you perform, no matter how fast or far you run, these leggings are staying put.

NIGHT-TIME VISIBILITY

Harlequin reflective logos giving all-round visibility for safe evening runs.
