Anti DVT Flight Sock - Black
Getting your item
Our latest Unisex Anti DVT Flight Sock helps prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) on long distance travel. Flight socks provide a graduated compression applying a gentle pressure from the ankle up to the calf. The Flight Sock assists with blood flow around the body by directing it towards the heart. Increased circulation helps reduce the build up of excess fluid preventing tired, swollen legs aching during your travel, whether by car, bus, train or plane.

Reviews
Just ok?
"They are quite thin and don't feel very supportive. The material is also quite slippery."

Non delivery
"I can't write a review because my order was never delivered. I spoke to Kathmandu and was told that Australia Post had said that they did deliver so they wouldn't do anything about it."
Rubbish
"They're called compression socks, and use that word in the product description, yet there is less compression that any of my regular crew socks. They continually fall down too because the elastic is thin and cheap. Very poor product that is well below what you'd expect from Kathmandu."
Pressure socks
"Great thank you arrived in good time."
Not real compression socks
"Not really compression socks. Suggest buying from pharmacy instead if want real compression socks."

Q&A
- I'm looking at these for my mother who suffers from swelling of her legs. What would be the maximum circumference of the socks? I'm concerned the Large would still not be big enough, or be too tight.
- I'm sorry, but we don't have an official max measurement for these socks. I would suggest checking them instore before purchasing.
- Hi there,is this a single sock or a pair?
- it is a pair
- Will a large fit a man with size 14 foot?
- The size L/XL should fit a size 14 foot however as they are tight compression socks they can be very tight when getting on and off over the heel.
- Hi can you tell me if these socks are 20-30 mmHg please? Thanks
- These are not a prescriptive medical product so do not have a mmHg rating.
- Hi Can you please tell me the length of the stocking from the heel to the top band?
- Adding the heel depth and the leg length measurements together will give us an approximate answer to what you are looking for. Sizes: S/M - 392mm. M/L - 395mm. L/XL - 445mm. The Kathmandu Team
