Activa® Class 1 Unisex Patterned Socks

Class 1 patterned socks at 14-17mmHg

A black sock with a knitted-in pattern, doing a compression job underneath. Activa® Class 1 Unisex Patterned Socks give light graduated compression of 14-17mmHg, firmest at the ankle and easing up the calf. That rating is UK Class 1, the lightest of the British Standard classes, and the socks are designed for the management of spider thread veins and tired, aching legs.

The knit and the pattern

• May help ease tired legs through a long day sitting or standing
• UK Class 1 graduated compression, 14-17mmHg at the ankle
• Knitted from an ultra-fine nylon and Lycra Soft blend
• Patterned black finish, so they read as ordinary socks under trousers
• Latex free
• Made by Lohmann & Rauscher, makers of Activa® hosiery

Sizing, wear and washing

Closed Toe, Unisex, in four sizes: Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. Check the size guide before you order, and take your measurements first thing in the morning, before any swelling builds up. Machine wash at or below 40°C. Do not tumble dry or iron. Buying two pairs and wearing them in rotation gives each pair time to recover between wears.

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.
