Frequently Asked Questions

Does a calf compression sleeve help with shin splints?

Yes. The Bearhug calf sleeve delivers targeted compression to the shin and calf, reducing inflammation and impact stress on the tibia. The bamboo charcoal yarn increases blood flow by up to 40%, helping flush metabolic waste and accelerate recovery from shin splint pain.

When should I wear a calf compression sleeve?

Wear the Bearhug calf sleeve during training to provide support and reduce impact stress, or post-exercise to aid recovery. It is breathable enough for all-day wear and can be used during rehabilitation from shin splints, calf strains or tendonitis.

Is bamboo better for calf compression sleeves?

Bamboo charcoal yarn is scientifically proven to increase blood flow more effectively than standard compression fabrics. It is also naturally antifungal, antibacterial and moisture-wicking, making it more comfortable for extended wear during training and recovery.

Can I wear a calf compression sleeve while running?

Yes. The Bearhug calf sleeve is designed for use during running and other high-impact sports. The ergonomic anti-slip design keeps it securely in place through any activity, while the bamboo construction manages moisture and temperature effectively.

What size calf compression sleeve do I need?

Measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point and refer to the Bearhug size guide. If you are between sizes, size down for sport and size up for daily wear. Bearhug offers a 30-day exchange if the fit is not right.
