1 PRESSRELEASE FEBRUARY2013 PDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - WITH WATCH SPACE COMPRESSPORT LAUNCHES ITS COMPRESSION ARM SLEEVES 2 COMPLEMENTARY MODELS: ARMFORCE & PRORACING ARMSLEEVE Following the success of its lower body range of compression sleeves and socks, COMPRESSPORT does it again with an upper body range introducing its first compression arm sleeves. Designed for multisport activity, they are ideal for racing, trails, road cycling or mountain biking and can be worn on a daily basis for UV protection. Two ARMFORCE and PRORACING ARMSLEEVE complementary models combining the perfect balance of compression, comfort and freedom.

2 One-of-a-kind muscle and vein compression True to its COMPRESSPORT targeted* compression philosophy, the ARMFORCE and PRORACING ARMSLEEVE round up all the benefits of biactive muscle and vein compression. This compression is graduated from the wrist to the bottom of the elbow and from the top of the elbow to the biceps and triceps. The wrists and elbows are not compressed to ensure optimum joint movement and comfort. Better performances The graduated compression weave of the COMPRESSPORT arm sleeves is designed for: optimisation of blood circulation activation during endurance sports thereby considerably reducing the build up of toxins in the arm and more particularly when the effort is prolonged (racing, trails, road cycling, mountain biking) Muscles therefore benefit from improved oxygenation. delaying or even eliminating the appearance of cramps and injuries thereby facilitating recovery during effort. allowing for longer, high impact training sessions with less fatigue and quicker recovery. feeling of strength, rigidity and support of muscles so as to be at the top of your game during effort. Shock absorber and muscle protection Ideal for mountain biking, trail biking or all sports subjecting the muscles to "violent" shocks the 360 compression over the whole arm is designed to reduce shock waves and vibrations to the muscles, veins and joints thereby preventing tearing of muscle fibres and joint pain. This gives rise to efficiency against aches, contractures, micro injuries delaying muscle fatigue and the risk of injury. Improved recovery No pain after strain! When fitted just after showering, the COMPRESSPORT arm sleeves continue to ensure venous return acceleration, elimination of toxins produced during effort and support to the muscle. Muscle pain is reduced and arms feel lighter. Recovery is quicker and return to effort is made easier and quicker.

3 An extreme comfort Natural heat control Gone with goose pimples... Gone with the sensation of heat The COMPRESSPORT arm sleeves are also efficient and comfortable in the extreme cold and wind as well as extreme heat. The muscle compression allows for activation of microcirculation of the blood giving rise to natural heat control. The insulating fibre next to the skin optimises heat protection. This makes for a better resistance to the cold in winter and the heat in summer. Arms stay warm even in the rain during effort. Arms are protected and stay cool even in hot, sunny weather (effect reinforced by the COLDBLACK treatment used in the PRORACING ARMSLEEVE) Anti-bacterial and anti-odour silver ions fibre It is common knowledge in the medical world that silver ions control heat and damp. This prevents perspiration and heating which increase germs, bacteria and fungi. By way of a patented process, the silver ions built into the fibre ensure efficient protection thereby naturally combating odours and irritations. The efficacy remains even after several washes. Morphofit and freedom of movement The 100% seamless** COMPRESSPORT arm sleeves are deform-proof and contour the anatomy of the arm. They accompany each movement ensuring optimum comfort and freedom. Techno-fashion In addition to their technical benefits, the COMPRESSPORT arm sleeves provide that touch of sport fashion when worn for recovery under a T-shirt identifying the wearer as part of the sports community.

4 Top quality production A 100% European range With absolute quality in mind, the COMPRESSPORT compression range uses exclusively European fibres, equipment, specialists and production. OEKO-TEX-certified The innovating fibres used have the OEKO-TEX world-renowned inspection certificate. This certification declares that the fibres do not contain any chemical substances harmful to the skin and humans. 2-year replacement guarantee and money-back within 30 days! Like all the COMPRESSPORT products, the arm sleeves benefit from a 2-year replacement guarantee and users can get their money back if they are not satisfied within 30 days of purchase.

5 ARMFORCE arm sleeves Why two models of arm sleeves? To meet with the expectations of the greatest number of users, from the occasional, regular to professional sports persons, COMPRESSPORT has chosen to develop two complementary products yet somewhat different according to the use. The most versatile and ideal for training in the autumn, winter and spring and for the occasional or regular sports person. AEROKNITTING HEAT CONTROL SHOCK ABSORBER MORPHOFIT DUAL ACTIVE COMPRESSION 3D.SWEATDOTS ULTRALIGHT +ULTRARESIST RECOVERY OEKO-TEX CERTIFIED ANTIBACTERIAL In addition to the features previously developed they also offer : Light and comfortable microfibre The ARMFORCE arm sleeves are woven in a high-tech microfibre, made in Italy boasting exceptional and multiple properties: heat control, very high abrasion resistance, ultralight, hypoallergic, 100% recyclable. It is the ideal fibre for well being and extensive comfort while respecting health and the environment. Thanks to this microfibre, the ARMFORCE arm sleeves are lightweight and very comfortable. When used in normal conditions, they are tear-proof and non-pilling.

6 Sweatdots (exclusive to COMPRESSPORT ) to wipe off perspiration The right arm sleeve has sweatdots - genuine perspiration catchers which allow for air to pass and to wipe away perspiration from the face when wiped with the back of the hand. The sweatdots wipe like a wristband and also have the advantage of not getting loaded with water. The air circulating between them ensures ultraquick drying! Aeroknitting for optimum ventilation A more open area is mesh knitted on the inside of the arm sleeve for the air to circulate, ensure maximum ventilation and evacuate perspiration instantly. Specially designed for cycling in the against the clock position but also fully efficient in the upright position. For racing and trails, the swinging of the arms and movement speed increase the ventilation and cooling of this area.

THERMO REGULATION MASSAGING FIBRE WATCH SPACE MORPHOFIT SHOCK ABSORBER DUAL ACTIVE COMPRESSION MULTISPORT RECUPERATION ULTRALIGHT +ULTRARESIST PERFORMANCE OEKO-TEX CERTIFIED ANTIBACTERIAL COLDBLACK - UV Protect In addition to the many existing COMPRESSPORT features they also offer: An ultralight massaging fibre which does not retain water The PRORACING ARMSLEEVE arm sleeves use an innovative patented*** fibre which triggers micromassaging on every movement, ensuring performance and comfort. In addition the water-repellent fibre does not retain moisture, so the arm sleeves remain dry and incredibly lightweight in all conditions. Tear-proof when used in normal conditions. Protection from UV Thanks to the COLDBLACK treatment, the COMPRESSPORT arm sleeves offer protection from UVA and UVB (minimum UP30+). The COLDBLACK treatment has the special feature of reflecting the heat, allowing for a reduction in temperature of the surface of the skin. Extreme comfort A study conducted at an ambient temperatu re of 20 and 50% relative humidity shows a difference of -5 betwe en a black textile with ColdBl ack treatment and a black textile without treatm ent. Not only do the COMPRESSPORT arm sleeves contribute to protecting from the harmful effects of the sun's rays on the skin (sunburn, premature ageing, cancers) but they also keep the arms cool by reflecting the heat! Ingenious, practical and safe: the Watch Space Thanks to its clever design, the Watch Space arm sleeve allows you to check your watch easily and safely. You no longer need to lift the cuff to check the time, control your speed and monitor your progress

9 PRESSRELEASE FEBRUARY2013 If you are curious... If you want to find out more then this is for you! * COMPRESSPORT exclusive targeted compression The level of compression differs across muscle areas for more or less compression according to requirements. Measured in hectopascals (hpa), this technology is used in medical compression for the manufacture of compression stockings. The choice of production method, inspection and testing of COMPRESSPORT arm sleeves ensures a "medical quality" product with specially-developed precision muscle compression. ** Seamless weave The seamless weave is the only weave guaranteeing: precise, even compression. the possibility of modifying compression areas to the nearest millimetre relative to the targeted level. wear-proof over time. If you choose a compression sleeve manufactured with seams you won t benefit from the outstanding performance and unique qualities associated with Compressport s innovative seamless products. *** Exclusive COMPRESSPORT fibre The COMPRESSPORT fibre is exclusively woven on medical compression machines allowing for millimetre-precision compression graduation in targeted muscle areas. The COMPRESSPORT fibre offers second-to-none comfort with a massaging effect which increases the feeling of well-being, strength and lightness during effort and recovery. It also has other properties: heat control, UV resistance, heat reflection and water repellence, so the fibre does not saturate with water and quickly evacuates perspiration.
