Product Features & Uses
It's In Our Fabric!
2XU® Circular Knit Construction
2XU® Compression Garments are the only all purpose compression garments constructed using a Circular High Gauge Knit weave.
The fabrication delivers an evenly distributed 360° all direction stretch & recovery compression, unachieveable with a more conventional weave construction.
2XU® High Denier Compression Fabric
Referring to the "thickness" of the yarn, all 2XU® Compression garments use high powered performance fabrics with a high gauge dennier rating. To enhance strength and durability, 2XU Compression garments use a 50 Denier fabric weave and a combination of 50/70 Denier Fabric in their Elite ranges.
The end result is a compression garment that performs time and again, long after other compression garments have worn out.
2XU® Lycra™ Endurance
2XU® Compression delivers long life performance through the use of DuPont® Lycra™ and up to 20% content in all the 2XU® garment range. This is vitally important to achieving a high level of elasicity and to maintaining the garment's compressive properties. DuPont® Lycra™ significantly enhances durability enabling the 2XU® Compression range to out-perform it's leading competitors by a massive 40%.
