I take a size small in the 2xu calf guards too. The best fit in Compressort is T3.

hi
i think you shold go for small as these are designed to be tight to hold mussle, if they are loose you will not get the benefit hope this helps

Just do the measurements on their chart i.e around the top of the calf and the length of your shin. The fit is great

Go for a T2. I've got both the T2 Compressport and small 2XU calf guards and both fit well.

Please refer to the sizing chart in the description of the compressport calf guards. Providing the measurements match, a T2 should suit you.

My calves measure 41cm at the biggest point and i have bought the T3 and they tight enough to help recovery but not to tight to make it uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

I would opt for the smaller size as they are quite stretchy.

Hi Mark,

Based on a 38cm calf measurement our recommendation is that you go for a T3 if you haven't used compression before as comfort is important, however if you have used compression before and are used to it, go for the T2!

I am in a similar position. In the end i bought the T4, and fold down the hems of the calf guard which seems to do the trick in reducing the length and is still comfortable

I have a pair of these and would suggest that getting the right size is most importnat for the diameter of your calves as that is what gives you the correct level of compression. If they were not exactly the right length I don't think it would matter too much.

Hi there,

Unfortunately our sizing isn't going to work for you, based on these measurements. It's important that the guard is sized correctly for the calf, so the T4 is certainly what would you need on that basis, but it is also too long so I'm afraid I can't recommend that you try it.

I'm sorry we couldn't help and I hope you find a suitable compression product for your needs.

Best regards,

i don't see why you couldn't. The fabric has a different texture on the inside but it's only marginal so can't see it affecting performance.

wearing them inside out a couple of times will no doubt see the print come off very quickly anyway.

Question
T2 or T3?
Hi there,
I would like to buy a pair of Compressport R2 (Race and Recovery) Calf Guards but not sure which size to buy. My calf size is 39cm approx. in the largest part, so shall I go for the smallest size T2 or just the T3?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Berni,

I would recommend the T3. If compression is too tight it can be detrimental to blood flow, and it will also be uncomfortable. 39cm's puts you in size T3 and this would be best.
