LP SUPPORT is a world-renowned sports protective gear brand that has been established for more than 30 years, and its sports protective equipment covers the knees, ankles, wrists, waist and shoulders. Based on years of expertise in the field of sports protective gear, LP SUPPORT has been involved in the field of compression apparel since 2015, and now has launched the first generation of the ACE series and the second generation of the AIR series.
LP SUPPORT's two compression garment series have different characteristics, the ACE series launched in 2015 is characterized by "high coverage stability", and the AIR series launched in 2016 is characterized by "light and breathable". In terms of price, the price of LP SUPPORT's compressed clothing is between 400-600 yuan, which is more cost-effective than first-line brands.
The ACE series emphasizes "high enveloping stability", that is, it has a strong compression effect, and at the same time has higher support for the knee and leg muscles. However, according to the feedback of many users, the wearing comfort of the ACE series is average, mainly because its fabric is too thick and it feels stuffy to wear, especially in summer. The 2018 quality sampling inspection of the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce also confirmed this, and the test results showed that the measured value of the air permeability of the ACE series compressed clothing was 39mm/s (the standard value should be ≥ 75 mm/s), which was inconsistent with the standard, so the series was not recommended.
In response to the shortcomings of the ACE series, LP SUPPORT launched the AIR series in 2016, although the compression strength has decreased, it is more comfortable to wear and more breathable. In terms of design, the AIR series is different in style for men and women, with the men's model focusing on the muscles of the abdomen and thighs, and the women's model focusing on the body shape and hip shape.
In terms of purchase channels, LP SUPPORT has fewer offline stores in China, making online shopping relatively convenient. When purchasing compression pants, in addition to choosing according to the compressive strength, users who are sensitive to heat should choose products with the characteristics of "moisture absorption" and "quick drying". However, the Beijing Consumers Association has found in the random inspection of tights and compressed clothing that the descriptions on the promotional pages of some manufacturers may not match the real thing, and the physical label should prevail.
