Men's Knitted Compression Pants
Men's knitted compression pants are close-fitting athletic wear designed to improve performance and recovery. They are typically constructed from a blend of synthetic materials, offering both compression and flexibility.
Material
The primary materials used in knitted compression pants include:
- Polyester: Provides durability, moisture-wicking properties, and resistance to stretching and shrinking.
- Spandex (Elastane/Lycra): Offers elasticity, enabling a snug fit and freedom of movement. The percentage of spandex dictates the level of compression.
- Nylon: Known for its strength, abrasion resistance, and smooth texture. Often blended with polyester for enhanced performance.
- Coolmax/Other Performance Fabrics: Incorporated for superior moisture management and breathability.
- Merino Wool (Less Common): Provides natural odor resistance and temperature regulation, often found in higher-end models.
Purpose & Function
Compression pants aim to provide several benefits:
- Improved Circulation: Compression promotes blood flow, reducing muscle fatigue and soreness.
- Muscle Support: They stabilize muscles, reducing vibration and minimizing the risk of injury.
- Enhanced Performance: By supporting muscles, they can improve power output and endurance.
- Faster Recovery: Reduced muscle soreness and inflammation contribute to quicker post-exercise recovery.
- Temperature Regulation: Moisture-wicking fabrics help keep the wearer dry and comfortable.
Usage Scenarios
- Sports & Exercise: Commonly used in running, basketball, football, soccer, weightlifting, CrossFit, and other high-impact activities.
- Post-Exercise Recovery: Worn after workouts to aid muscle recovery and reduce soreness.
- Travel: Can help reduce swelling and fatigue during long flights or car rides.
- Everyday Wear: Some individuals wear them for general comfort and support.
- Medical Applications: Used to manage edema and promote circulation in certain medical conditions (consult with a healthcare professional).
Common Types
- Full-Length Compression Pants: Provide compression from the waist to the ankles.
- Capri Compression Pants: End at or below the knee, offering compression to the thighs and calves.
- Compression Shorts: Provide compression to the thighs and glutes.
- Graduated Compression Pants: Compression levels vary along the length of the pants, with higher compression at the ankles and lower compression at the waist, to further enhance circulation.
- Seamless Compression Pants: Constructed without seams to minimize chafing and irritation.
- Padded Compression Pants: Feature padding in key areas (e.g., hips, thighs) for additional protection.
Men's knitted compression pants fall under garments knitted or crocheted, designed for compression and typically worn for athletic or therapeutic purposes.
The following HS codes are relevant based on the provided reference material:
- 6115100500: This code covers panty hose, tights, stockings, socks and other hosiery, including graduated compression hosiery (for example, stockings for varicose veins) and footwear without applied soles, knitted or crocheted.

It details other graduated compression hosiery, specifically of synthetic fibers (632). Chapter 61 relates to articles of apparel and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted. Heading 6115 focuses on panty hose, tights, stockings, socks and other hosiery. Subheading 6115.10 specifies graduated compression hosiery.
- 6114200055: This code covers other garments, knitted or crocheted, of cotton. Specifically, it details men's or boys' garments (359).
