The Science Behind Graduated Compression

Pressure that is strongest at the ankle and eases toward the calf gives your veins mechanical help moving blood upward — which is why swelling, leg fatigue and clot risk all drop. Worn daily by Kiwi nurses, long-haul travellers, athletes and expectant mothers.

Flight Compression Socks for Long-Haul Travel

Made for the hours you cannot move

New Zealand is a long way from almost everywhere, and a long flight means hours wedged into a seat with your legs barely moving. That is when blood starts to pool in the lower leg, bringing on swollen ankles, stiffness and the raised clot risk that long-haul travel is known for. A 15–20mmHg graduated sock keeps the circulation ticking over while your calf muscles sit idle.

Wear them gate to gate

The habit that matters: get them on before you leave for the airport, not somewhere over the Tasman, and leave them on until you have landed and stretched your legs. They work just as well on a long coach trip or a day of driving. Sized S/M to 6XL, tracked delivery across New Zealand, free over $60.

Our FAQ

Flight Socks FAQ

Put them on at home or at the airport before boarding. Wear them for the entire flight and for 1–2 hours afterward.

Studies show graduated 15–20 mmHg compression significantly reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis on long flights, especially over 4 hours.

Our range is knitted at 15–20 mmHg, the strength that suits the widest group of wearers — everyday use, flights, pregnancy, sport and milder clinical needs. It improves circulation, settles swelling and helps reduce clot risk on long journeys, with no prescription involved. If you are dealing with something more serious, talk to your GP about stepping up to 20–30 mmHg or 30–40 mmHg.
