Vital Salveo Germanium Leg Compression Sleeve, Full Length Knee Support for Training, Running & Sports Performance – Long-Term Stability (1 PC, Black)

I recently had vein surgery on one leg and need to wear a compression support while hiking. I have now worn it on several hikes and have found it to be very comfortable. It stays in place (as long as I do not use cream on my leg before I put it on). I am familiar with using fabrics and supports that release infrared and negative ions and I appreciate that this company has made a full leg support that includes these materials. That is the reason I bought this company's leg sleeve. The leg sleeve is thicker than I thought it would be but it is still comfortable to wear on a hot day. Medium size fits perfectly. I just bought another one for the other leg. I am very pleased with this product.

I bought two of these for MTB. My knees no longer hurt and i can cycle for longer, they also provide protection form both pedal rash and also stop the straps from my shin/knee pads from digging in.

Me gusta porque tiene un ajuste directo en las partes que más se fuerzan al realizar mi actividad física.

I've used it for the first time and my knee feels good. Hopefully it last for a decent amount of time. Highly recommended. True to size as well in my opinion.

As a 30-something year old dude who goes to the gym 2-3x a week (and maybe plays basketball every few weeks) this leg sleeve honestly exceeded expectations against some of the negative reviews I’ve seen here. Many years ago I injured my left knee, something along the lines of a partial ligament tear- I’ve dealt with quite a bit of crepitus (clicking/popping) since then. The injury now doesn’t really bring pain per se but can sometimes feel unstable. Also having been re-visiting some squats lately I wanted a little more support and this sleeve is a winner: brings warmth, compresses the leg evenly/very well, and makes me feel more confident performing leg exercises (less clicking and popping too!). SIZING: For reference I’m 5’ 7” ~190 lbs and went with size XL based off their size/measurement chart (I’d say it’s very accurate- I went off the thigh measurements. I’m 22”/56cm at widest part of thigh). Seems to fit well in all areas, albeit maybe a touch tight behind the knee area but it’s supposed to feel a bit snug. There is a little give length wise, so if you’re taller than I, you can probably cover another few inches of more leg (I’ve been wearing mine mid-thigh ish as shown. I could see this particular XL size to be a bit long if you’re shorter than say 5’ 4” or something. You could maybe roll up the ends worst case. I would also speculate this product is generally made for smaller folks- I’m not a big guy at all but I went with XL, with XXL being the final size offered. I don’t see a body builder being able to utilize this sleeve. GRIP & FIT: I had absolutely ZERO issues with the leg sleeve moving up/down/twisting/etc. Stayed in place and experienced no allergic reaction, red marks, etc. This was after doing squats, lunges, hip adductor/abductor exercises, and running a mile on the treadmill. I’m not a marathon runner so I couldn’t say if it holds up for miles and miles under sweatier conditions, although my hairy legs also probably alleviate slippage too lol. Fit-wise I’d say this sleeve has generous ample compression: if it were to be any tighter I wouldn’t find it suitable for working out/general physical activity in my opinion. Of course everyone’s body is different and another size up could maybe change the fit as well (I don’t think I’d be able to fit in a size smaller). Outside texture is smooth and comfortable. VALUE: This is a slightly pricier product vs many others you’ll find here on Amazon (paid $34 at time of review) - I’d honestly say it’s priced just about fair. The material to me is like a medium to medium-high type of thickness; this ain’t pantyhose thin leggings. It definitely has a more athletic+medical type of quality. Sure you can spend half price for other products but those aren’t apples to apples. The cheaper products are more or less panty-hose type thin. But I can see why there are many other reviewers here who come from post-surgery/knee-recovery type backgrounds. OTHER THOUGHTS: Although I’m not a big logo/brand guy, the embroidered logo on the bottom is a nice touch vs a printed/heat applied logo that peels off after a couple washes. The Black color option is a true black - not a gross off-green/off-blue black. I haven’t tried these on the court yet but I can’t imagine this sleeve would be comfortable playing basketball/other outdoor activities in the summer heat here in Arizona due to the thicker material. One might want to opt for one-legged tights at that point but we’ll see. Overall I’d buy this again, really have no complaints. Could it be a couple dollars cheaper? Maybe. I don’t think I’d pay like $40-50 for this though. Otherwise I received the sleeve in a day with Prime, and my knee couldn’t be happier.
