FAQs

Can I wear these under my socks?

Yes, they are designed to be worn either alone, under socks, or with compression socks depending on your preference.

Should I wear these while I sleep?

No, compression gear is designed for active use and recovery periods, not for sleeping.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the circumference of the widest part of your calf and match it against the official 2XU sizing chart.

Are these suitable for swimming?

Yes, the material is quick-drying and durable enough to be worn under a wetsuit or during water activities.

How often should I wash them?

It is recommended to wash them after every use to remove sweat and salt, which can break down the elastic fibers over time.

Troubleshooting

Guard feels too tight or cuts off circulation

Ensure you have the correct size based on calf circumference; if the size is correct, ensure the fabric is evenly distributed and not bunched.

Guard keeps sliding down during activity

Verify the guard is placed directly against the skin (not over pants) and that the skin is free of lotions or oils.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes faster muscle recovery post-workout
  • Lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying material
  • Can be paired with various footwear or sports apparel
  • Provides significant muscle stabilization during high-impact movement

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement for proper compression benefits
  • Can be difficult to pull on initially due to the tight fit
  • Not intended for use while sleeping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure the logo is positioned on the shin and the guard is pulled taut without any wrinkles. Compatibility is high, as the unisex design fits most adult calf profiles; however, checking the size chart against your calf circumference is critical. For care, hand wash the guards in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or tumble drying, as these can degrade the elasticity of the compression fibers. Air dry them flat in a shaded area to maintain their structural integrity.
