The ABSOLUTE 360 Infrared Calf and Shin Supports, from the IR Body Support product range, are made from an innovative far infrared (FIR) emitting fibre. The far infrared (FIR) fibre absorbs the infrared radiation emitted by the human body and re-emits this absorbed radiation as far infrared (FIR) waves, which interact with the human body, stimulating its natural healing processes.
The calf and shin supports have been designed to provide optimum support to the calf and shin for the prevention of lower leg injuries during sporting and occupational activities where calves or shins might be subject to strain or overuse.
The construction of the calf and shin supports makes them suitable for running, cycling, walking, hiking, triathlon, skiing, snowboarding, travelling and lots of other activities. The supporting effect and dynamic compression of the ABSOLUTE 360 calf and shin supports helps to reduce muscle vibrations, leading to less soft tissue damage and less sore muscles.
The far infrared fibre properties of the calf and shin supports improve peripheral microcirculation to the calf muscle with higher levels of oxygen and optimised muscle performance, delaying the onset of muscular fatigue. The circulation improvements will help the body eliminate metabolic waste products like lactic acid more easily by decreasing muscle recovery time and reducing the onset of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)
Unlike typical supports or calf sleeves, the ABSOLUTE 360 calf and shin supports offer light support and gentle compression, allowing for use over extended periods of time without discomfort. They combine function, optimal comfort and a great fit to help reduce calf and shin pain, and to support injured or weak calves or shins.
The specific 3D “wave” pattern construction provides a micro-massaging effect and dynamic compression to the calf even during rest periods.
The calf and shin supports are lightweight, thin, low profile, neoprene-free and latex-free. The slimline and thin design means they can easily be worn under everyday clothes.
The ABSOLUTE 360 calf and shin supports are recommended for; post-exercise recovery, post-trauma rehabilitation (pulled calf muscle, strains and contusions with oedemas and swelling), post-surgery rehabilitation, treatment of calf pain due to muscular lesions, inflammation of the calf muscle and shin splints relief. The emission of far infrared penetrates deep into the area promoting improved peripheral microcirculation aiding the healing process. They also help relieve minor pain and discomfort.
During recovery and rehabilitation, we recommend wearing the support as much as possible, at least every day for a minimum of 6/8 hours a day.

Bought these in desperation at picking up a bad shin splint five weeks out from Manchester Marathon 2015. Wore them loads (including to bed!) several times in the lead up & the injury got gradually better. Did a PB at Manchester but shin splint flared up as a result. Back to these calf sleeves as part of recovery!
These calf sleeves have proved both fantastic and invaluable. Walking long distance they have held a dicky calf together and nursed it back to recovery without me having to stop. You can feel them working, stimulating blood flow and giving you those extra miles. A lot of products make promises but these deliver.
I always suffered with calf cramp on very long runs. After buying and using these calf sleeves I have not had an issue at all. Recently ran my 5th Marathon wearing these and experienced no calf cramp for the first time ever. I also use the calf sleeves during recovery, especially after intensive workouts such as Insanity. Without them my calves are sore for a day or two. Wear them overnight and I am able to run the next day - that is how effective they are. They have held their shape and elasticity after a lot a use and numerous wash cycles.
I have been using the calf recovery sleeves which are of great fit and quality. I feel they aid my recovery after a tough training session, so naturally are one of the first items to go in my training bag.
They are easy to get on and off (unlike some compression products) and so comfortable I forget I am wearing them. I wear them after long runs and hard training sessions and have had almost no problems with tight calf muscles since I began using them.
