2XU
2XU (pronounced two times you) was launched in Melbourne, Australia in 2005, with the mission to advance human performance through the development of world-leading athletic garments.
Starting out as a specialist run and triathlon brand, 2XU has grown to become the world’s most technical sportswear company, driven by a relentless pursuit to multiply human performance.
Men’s and women’s 2XU garments are proven by independent, scientific research to deliver real physiological benefits to athletes of all abilities.
Designed and tested in consultation with world-renowned universities and sports scientists, all garments use intelligent physiological design, cutting edge performance fabrics and construction. Worn by multiple world champion athletes, 2XU is the official compression partner to some of the world’s best teams and is the secret recovery weapon for many.
Whilst compression clothing is at the forefront of the 2XU men’s and women’s clothing range, the brand also manufactures technical non-compression running clothing with a fashionable and stylish flair for both genders.
The idea that compression clothing helps you train longer, perform stronger and recover faster is proven, but how?
The compression material and construction improve performance before during and after activity by:
- Delivering improved circulation, muscle containment and reduced muscle vibration
- Improved circulation speeds up your warm-up
- Muscle fatigue and damage is reduced
- Delayed onset muscle soreness is reduced
- Agility is heightened through improved sensory awareness which in turn leads to better posture, agility, mobility and stability
- Performance is improved as the heart rate is decreased and power is increased
- Faster recovery
- Through heightened blood circulation, the risk of DVT is reduced
