Find out how our Bearhug Calf Sleeves can help you perform better, recover faster and play for longer.
Cycling
The Bearhug calf sleeves are a must-have for any cyclists that suffer with muscle soreness and tightness. Our compression sleeves boost blood flow with targeted compression – helping your calves recover faster, ride after ride.
Fitness and the gym
Shin splints, tendonitis, muscle sprains, and strains are all commonplace for gym-goers.
Regardless of whether you’re calf raising, squatting, sprinting or deadlifting, your calves are under immense pressure with almost every lift; with our calf sleeves, you’ll benefit from increased circulation, reduced swelling and accelerated recovery – helping you hit your next PB a whole lot faster.
Football
As a footballer, tight calf muscles are limiting your knee and ankle mobility; significantly increasing your injury risk and hampering your performance on the pitch.
Our calf compression sleeves accelerate recovery post match – increasing blood flow to the area, flushing out toxins and reducing muscle soreness to make sure you’re fit and ready to play in 7 days time.
Martial arts and combat sports
In combat sports, your calves are under constant demand – generating explosive power, supporting quick footwork, and absorbing impact; putting a lot of stress on the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (the two major muscles of the calf).
With our calf sleeves, you’ll get targeted compression to the calf area; helping you guard against injuries and recover quicker.
Racquet sports
If you play racquet sports, you’re always on the go. With so much running and changing direction, our calf compression sleeves work hard to relieve aches and pains; driving oxygenated blood to the area to reduce muscle and tissue soreness.
Rugby
Ease of movement is essential in fast-paced sports like rugby.
Our calf sleeves provide optimum compression to boost blood flow and help prevent inflammation in the calves, speeding up recovery and preventing injuries such as shin splints and tendonitis arising.
Running
Runners frequently suffer from calf strains, tightness and shin splints due to the immense pressure and reliance placed on the legs. Our calf sleeves are expertly designed to increase circulation – promoting pain-free, stronger running.
Snowsports
Your calves work hard to keep you stable on the slopes, so it’s natural that they are at risk of getting sprained or torn. Our blood-flow-boosting calf compression sleeves help you recover quicker, making sure you don’t miss a minute of action.
Walking and hiking
Walking and hiking places a huge strain on your calf muscles, which can lead to serious muscle tears and even shin splints if not managed correctly.
That’s where our calf sleeves can help; delivering the critical compression needed to help reduce inflammation during and post-hike to ensure you recover faster, and don’t cause any long lasting muscle damage.
