SLS3 Compression Socks–Initial Review

In continuing with the recovery theme we’ve been working with for a few weeks, we’re moving into some other products to assist you with your training and health outside your workouts.  Today we’re going to look at a set of compression socks from SLS3.  Thanks to the folks at SLS3 for the test sample.

Background:

SLS3, pronounced SLS Tri, has been around since their debut in 2007 at the Hawaii Ironman.  Designed, tested, and manufactured in the US, SLS3 makes a line of compression socks, ‘sox’, and sleeves.  In addition, they have a few lines of racing apparel, the FX and the FRT.  In addition, SLS3 sponsors quite a few athletes and they have quite a few testimonials on their site.

Background on SLS3 Compression Sox:

The SLS3 Compression Sox is designed to assist with performance and recovery in serious athletes.  SLS3 uses polypropylene, a material that absorbs 300% less water than nylon.  The socks is great for pre and post-race but is designed for exercising.  Added bonus, they recommend using the socks for traveling, during work when you might sit or stand for a long period of time, during pregnancy, and during any injury.  Compression works by assisting blood flow into your extremities, encouraging the removal of lactic acid and other byproducts of exercise.
