Thigh sleeves, calf sleeves and full leg sleeves each cover different muscles. Here's how to pick the right copper leg sleeve for your sport or workday.

"Leg sleeve" can mean three different products. Each one covers a different part of the leg, so the right choice depends on where you want support and what you'll be doing.

Thigh compression sleeves

Copper thigh compression sleeves cover the upper leg: quads, hamstrings and groin. They stop above the knee, so they don't change how your knee feels.

Best for: sprinting, basketball, baseball, soccer, and leg day at the gym. They come as a 2 pack, so both legs are covered.

Measure: around the middle of the thigh.

Calf compression sleeves

Copper calf compression sleeves run from just below the knee to the ankle. They're footless, so you wear your own socks and shoes.

Best for: running, cycling, travel, and long shifts for nurses, retail and warehouse workers.

Measure: around the widest part of the calf.

Full leg compression sleeves

A copper full leg compression sleeve covers thigh, knee and calf in one piece. It's the simplest option when you want the whole leg supported.

Best for: basketball, all-day wear on your feet, recovery days, and anyone who'd rather wear one sleeve instead of two or three. Want both legs covered? Get the full leg sleeve 2 pack.

Measure: both thigh and calf.

Fit tips

• Use a soft tape measure against bare skin.
• Compression should feel snug and even, never painful.
• Stop wearing a sleeve that causes numbness, tingling or skin color changes, and try a larger size.

A note on copper

Copper Joe sleeves use copper-infused nylon that resists odor and wicks moisture. Research on copper's other effects is limited; the compression is what most people notice.
