Compression that holds, without restricting

Compression wear sits right against the skin, so every detail matters: how tightly the fabric holds, how quickly it recovers, how the seams lie and whether it stays in place when you move. We grade compression patterns tighter than standard fits and check the hold across sizes on the sample.

Our compression range covers base layers for team sports, training tops and tights for gyms, shorts worn under kit, and rash guards for grappling and water sports. Long and short sleeves, mock necks and three-quarter lengths are all available.

Because the fabric stretches so much, graphics are applied with inks and transfers that stretch too. Silicone grippers on hems keep pieces in place, and mesh panels can be added at the underarm and back for airflow.

Every compression wear order includes

  • Patterns graded for true compression fit
  • High-recovery stretch fabric
  • Flatlock seams that lie flat
  • Stretch-safe printing or transfers
  • A wear-test sample before bulk

Logos, prints and finishes

Compression wear needs logos that stretch. We test print and transfer on the sample fabric to make sure they do not crack.

Questions about compression wear

What makes compression wear different from regular sportswear?

Compression garments are graded tighter and made from fabric with high stretch and recovery, so they hold the body firmly. The seams are flat to avoid rubbing.

Which fabric is used for compression wear?

Poly-spandex or nylon-spandex with a high spandex content for strong recovery.

Can you print full designs on compression wear?

Yes, with inks and transfers that stretch with the fabric. We test them on the sample first.

Can you add silicone grippers?

Yes. Silicone grippers on hems and leg openings keep pieces in place.

Do you make rash guards for BJJ and MMA?

Yes. See our boxing and MMA apparel page for rash guards and spats.

Can I test the compression level?

Yes. Wear-test the sample and tell us if you want it firmer or softer; we adjust the fabric or grading.
