Troubleshooting
Garment feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the sizing chart. If it's still too tight, consider if this series' compression level is suitable for your needs or if a different size is required.
Reduced compression after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat, as these can degrade the elastic fibers.
