More About The Fabric
Fabric Quality
Arm, Forearm, & Leg Sleeves
Heavy Weight
The fabric of our heavy weight, arm, forearm, & leg sleeves have a weight and texture most similar to an athletic sock with full coverage terry knit on the inside of the sleeves.
Full Fit Leg Sleeve & Knee Sleeve

We knit the same performance yarns for the full fit leg sleeves and knee sleeve that are used in all our other sleeve products. The difference is the inside of the medium weight is less dense with tighter loops than the heavy weight terry, and still providing a smooth appearance.

What does this yarn technology mean to you?
The polypropylene and performance polyester yarns have inherent moisture wicking features for quick dry. The blend of these high performance yarns with Lycra® Spandex, nylon, and elastic make a cushioned, form fitting sleeve without compression. The rebound stretch keeps these sleeves from sliding down and helps retain their shape.
