Compression Clothing Range Expanded by Muscle Finesse to Combat Cold Weather

Online, January 23, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The end of 2012 was the second wettest in UK history, only missing out on first place by 6.6 millimetres of snow. 2013 is set to be no less extreme in terms of weather, only the temperate storms are being passed over for freezing conditions and heavy snowfall. Temperatures are predicted to remain below 0 degrees Celsius for at least another week nationwide, although fresh snowfall should be avoided across most of the country for a few more days.

Finding opportunities to exercise outside has become more difficult for runners and cyclist, partially due to ice on the roads, but also as a result of uncomfortably low temperatures. Tight compression gear has been noted in the past for its ability to possibly improve physical performance, and drastically cut down on recovery time needed after a workout. They're also capable of effectively regulating body temperature in both extremely hot and cold conditions. It's because of this that Muscle Finesse are expanding their compression range for consumers looking to get outside and exercise this winter.

A customer service representative from the company commented on this decision. "We try to get consumers to buy compression clothing at all times of the year. It has a slight effect on performance, but also help cut down on muscle swelling and does wonders for circulation. In the cold it becomes especially useful for keeping temperatures at normal levels."

Compression clothing is capable of doing so because it is so tight. People lose body heat when they come into contact with cold air and liquids, and loose clothing allows wind and rain to enter the outfit and cool the individual substantially. The tight nature of compression gear avoids any pockets of air between the skin and clothing. Even during vigorous exercise and falls body temperature is kept at a sensible level.

When the exerciser is especially warm, working out in the gym or summer for instance, compression outfits cool the body. The tightness helps force sweat production and evaporation, the body's natural method of lowering temperature. The only caveat is the wearer must make an extra effort to stay hydrated to combat water loss.
