Compression Wear: The New Standard
From UFC fighters to local gym practitioners, custom compression gear is everywhere.
The Science Behind Compression
- Increases blood circulation and oxygen delivery
- Reduces muscle oscillation during high-impact movements
- Accelerates post-training recovery
- Decreases delayed onset muscle soreness
- Provides joint support without restricting movement
Types of Compression Wear
Compression Rashguards
Tight-fitting rashguards for no-gi grappling with compression benefits.
Compression Spats
Full-length compression pants protecting legs during ground work.
Compression Shorts
Base layer under fight shorts providing groin protection and muscle support.
Manufacturing Custom Compression Wear
The fabric must maintain consistent compression levels (15-25 mmHg), feature four-way stretch, and withstand repeated washing. Sublimation printing is preferred as it doesn't affect compression properties.
