Activa® Class 1 Tights

Waist-high Class 1 compression tights at 14-17mmHg

Activa® Class 1 Tights carry graduated compression from the ankle all the way up to the waist in one piece. The level is British Standard Class 1, 14-17mmHg, which is the light end of the scale: firmest at the ankle, easing as it rises up the leg. They are designed for the management of tired, aching legs.

How the compression works

The knit puts the most pressure at the ankle and lets it drop off gradually towards the top of the leg.

  • British Standard Class 1, 14-17mmHg graduated compression
  • Light compression, the gentlest of the British Standard classes
  • Designed for the management of tired, aching legs
  • Closed Toe, with the tights running to the waist
  • Latex-free

Nylon knit, Black, four sizes

Knitted from an ultra-fine nylon and Lycra Soft blend, so they sit close to the leg without much bulk. Black, in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. Wash at or below 40°C, and do not tumble dry or iron. Pull them on in stages: gather the leg down to the foot, work it up to the knee, then bring the body section up.

It's important to get the right fit when it comes to compression garments. That's why Daylong Shop recommends that you contact a nurse, GP or pharmacist to ensure that compression hosiery is appropriate for you. If so, you will then need to be measured in order to obtain the correct size which will ensure that the garment works correctly and feels comfortable.

Great quality compression tights. Good fit and very comfy. As they are tight, they are quite hard to put on but that is to be expected with a pair of compression tights

Stuart Denton

I have used Activa Class 1 Support tights for over 2 years and find them comfortable and good for my legs. I have tried other support tights but always come back to these and repeat the orders.

Jennifer Davies

These were recommended to me, as thigh high stockings irritate my skin. I am a tall man, but these tights fit really well, are comfy, and provide good compression to my legs. As they are not expensive it means I can buy a few pairs at a time

Stuart Denton

Excellent fit comfortable to wear. A very good price and last well.

Freda Alexander

For male or female wear. Very good support tights for general support and circulation, especially if sitting for long periods. Very strong and a reliable brand. A fit for taller size is available. Worth considering for layering under other hose or long underwear. Very comfortable.

Adam Copland

Soft, strong and not as difficult as I'd expected to put on. Legs felt better at end of day.

Joanne Griffiths

A good support level garment with a strong weave and quite resistant fabric. Very adaptable for layering under woolen hose or long-johns.

Adam Copland

Great quality support tights.

Anne Singer

These tights are so well made. They last a long time. Wash after wash. So they are excellent value for money. Good fit and certainly do the job they are designed for.

Freda Alexander

Really good tights. They fit well look good. They're comfy and certainly give the support that's needed but with style.

Freda Alexander

She is very pleased with them

Great compression, legs not so sore. Lots of stretch & comfortable to wear.

Carol Eneke

Fantastic for regular daily wear. I am restricted to a wheel-chair and have avoided circulation and pressure sores problems with the regular use of the Activa Class 1 and Class 2 support tights. The toe-cap is capacious enought to avoid 'seam-burning' with can occur with support or compression tights, especially as they have a properly fitted heel as well. They are sturdy and less prone to runs or ladders that may occur with lesser brands at the Class 1 weight of weave. Excellent. I only wish I had found them sooner than I did, in 2008.

Seem a bit long as they come up near my chest
