For the first time, with the Zensah® Calf/Shin Sleeve, pinpoint pressure is applied to the calf and shin area. Until now all calf/shin sleeves were made with a flat fabric. The Zensah® Calf and Shin sleeve was developed with input from professional athletic trainers, and professional athletes. The Zensah® Calf and Shin Sleeve will be available for purchase everywhere.

The Calf/Shin sleeve is designed with a chevron ribbing or inverted "V" in the front. The chevron pattern is the same taping schematic used by athletic trainers to help prevent shin splints. The back of the sleeve provides specific compression and support for the calf. The deep groove ribbing helps increase blood circulation getting oxygen to the muscles faster. The first compression sleeve to provide dual action support.

Features of the sleeve include:

-- Ribbed compression provides pinpoint supports to the shins and calves
-- Silver Ion help regulate skin temperature
-- Moisture wicking, anti-bacterial and ultra-breathable Zensah Fabric®

The Zensah® Calf/Shin Sleeve is made from proprietary Zensah Fabric® which is anti-bacterial, and moisture wicking. Most of the compression calf sleeves on the market today are made from non-breathable neoprene or latex which can cause the skin and muscles to overheat, and to 5% of users rashes and blistering. Athletes who wear the Zensah® Calf Shin Sleeve will eliminate these risks while wearing the most comfortable sleeve in the world.

"This will revolutionize what athletes, athletic trainers and sports therapists use to enhance their performance." states Ryan Oliver Director of Marketing. "Zensah seeks to relieve the pain and get athletes back to focus on their training. The Zensah calf sleeve is the first dual action sleeve, and we expect this to be the product of choice for runner's, basketball players and any other athlete.
