R2 3.0, R2 Aero, R2 Oxygen & Full Sock Oxygen. Aerodynamic performance, lightness, thermoregulation... New developments and technologies for these new compression sleeves and socks.

The R2v2 compression sleeve is probably the Compressport's most iconic product. Worn everywhere from training to the podium, this sleeve has revolutionised compression with its unrivalled comfort and support. The development team could have left it at that. But they have continued to innovate and are proud to present the evolution of the R2 3.0, R2 Aero and R2 Oxygen calf sleeves. Not to mention the new Full Socks model with the Full Socks Oxygen.

R2 3.0: INCREASE STABILITY AND REDUCE SHOCK WAVES
This sleeve is the perfect evolution of the R2V2. Like the R2V2, it offers exclusive seamless multi-gradual compression, quick-drying fabric and the specially designed K-Protect tongue to reduce impact. But to make the difference it offers even more revolutionary technologies.

The new 3D weave activates the proprioceptive receptors in the fibular muscles. This promotes balance and stability, especially when going downhill, and reduces the risk of ankle twisting and sprains.

Horizontal areas targeted in waffle weaving. This medical technique stimulates microcirculation and reduces inflammation.
Results:
• The risk of tendonitis and periostitis is limited.
• Lymphatic circulation is improved and gastric problems are reduced, especially during long events.

Targeted compression on the calves helps absorb shock and reduce vibration. Muscle breakdown, fatigue and cramps are prevented.

Finally, for added safety, a reflective logo on the back of the sleeve allows for increased visibility during night rides.

KEY BENEFITS
• Improved balance and stability thanks to the new 3D weave that stimulates proprioceptors, increases grip and reduces the risk of ankle sprains.
• Targeted waffle weave areas promote microcirculation, reduce inflammation and stomach problems over long distances.
• High level of muscle support in the calf area, reducing the risk of injury and cramping through targeted 360-degree compression.

R2 AERO: DEVELOPED AND TESTED IN A WIND TUNNEL, THE R2 AERO IS THE MOST AERODYNAMIC COMPRESSION SLEEVE DESIGNED FOR HIGH SPEED CYCLING EVENTS
The innovative structured weave at the front of the sleeve (a combination of AERO DOTS and AERO STRIPES) artificially creates micro-turbulence at the front of the leg to avoid it being felt at the back (which would tend to suck the rider backwards).

The aerodynamic drag is improved, and the rider has better air penetration. A comparative test of the R2 AERO sleeve vs. no sleeve showed a saving of 9 to 10 W, or +/- 1 sec per km driven.

Ventilation strips at the back keep the calf cool, even in hot weather.

The lightweight weave around the calf provides comfort and support.

KEY BENEFITS
• The combined effects of Aero Stripes and Aero.dots technologies improve aerodynamic performance, reduce drag in windy conditions and increase speed.
• Lightweight fabric around the calf area provides high-performance ventilation and unmatched comfort when running or cycling in hot weather.
• Calf muscle support reduces the risk of injury and cramps through targeted 360-degree compression.

R2 OXYGEN: DESIGNED FOR FAST-PACED EVENTS AND EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS, THIS SLEEVE IS THE LIGHTEST ON THE MARKET AT ONLY 15G
The new R2 Oxygen is still ultra-light, super-ventilated, incredibly silky and hugs and holds the calf like a second skin.

Breathable mesh panels dry quickly for 360° ventilation. The ultra-fine fibres retain all the properties of compression and provide seamless support and protection to the strategic muscles of the calves and lower knee, while limiting muscle oscillation and damage.

The 2023 model features progressively spaced ventilation bands (smaller at the bottom and wider at the top) to follow the muscles as they swell during exercise. This allows for elasticity in the calf area, quick donning, optimal stride and comfort.

For added safety, a reflective logo on the back of the sleeve allows for increased visibility when out and about at night.

KEY BENEFITS
• Progressively spaced ventilation strips to accompany the muscles as they swell during exercise.
• Improved performance by reducing muscle vibration, helping you maintain speed and intensity longer during exercise
• High level of muscle support, reducing the risk of injury and cramping through targeted 360 degree compression.
• 360° ventilation with quick-drying mesh panels, keeping your calves dry and cool in the hottest conditions.

FULL SOCKS OXYGEN: ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT WITH GRADUATED VENTILATION FOR EXCEPTIONAL MUSCLE SUPPORT AND OXYGENATION IN THE HOTTEST CONDITIONS
The ultra-fine fibres provide all their compressive functions for maximum support and protection of the foot and calf while limiting vibrations and oscillations in the muscles and tendons.

The 3D.dots carefully placed around the foot ensure a better grip of the foot in the shoes, stimulate blood circulation and absorb impacts. The structure and relief of the 3D.dots are reduced to optimise weight without losing effectiveness. Muscle oxygenation is improved, delaying fatigue and increasing performance.

The 2023 model features progressively spaced ventilation bands (smaller at the bottom and wider at the top) to follow the muscles as they swell during exercise. This allows for optimal thermoregulation, elasticity of the product in the calf area, quick donning, optimal stride and comfort.

KEY BENEFITS
• Maximum thermoregulation thanks to the gradual ventilation woven directly into the fabric.
• Optimal muscle oxygenation thanks to the graduated ventilation strips, allowing the calf muscle to breathe and expand during exercise.
• Controlled compression for better muscle oxygenation, allowing speed and intensity to be maintained for longer during exercise.
