Compression
Compression wear that works as hard as you do. Graduated compression applies the most pressure at the ankle and eases off as it climbs, which supports venous return when your calf muscles have been static for hours. That is the whole mechanism, and it is why the right pressure class matters more than the brand on the label.
Most people who stand or fly for a living start in the 15-20 mmHg range. Moving up to 20-30 mmHg is a decision worth taking with a clinician, not a product page. These guides explain the difference, then compare specific socks, tights, and leggings by fit, fabric, and how well they hold compression after repeated washing.
