Elbow Sleeve By Copper Wear Review

I have some compression shirts and socks which I wear when me and hubby ride our bikes but this is the first time I've heard about Copper Wear's Elbow Sleeve. Here is a quick description of the product:

Copper Wear™ from our "As Seen on TV" Store is the next generation of ankle, elbow, knee and back supports. Copperwear clothing effectively relieves joint pain while providing additional support.   Copper Wear''s revolutionary construction incorporates specially formulated high-performance nylon, and is impergnated with  heat-conducting copper fibers. Copperwear's ergonomic design dramatically increases necessary blood flow and provides essential joint compression. Our compression wear reduces swelling and helps speed recovery.
Copperwear''s revolutionary fabric wicks away perspiration and moisture while providing essential support for achy muscles and joints. Copper Wear is Antimicrobial  and  Odor-resistant, and is 100% Machine Washable, and can also be machine dried. Copperwear support sleeves can fit either right or left.

• Designed for athletic activity, or ever day support
• Helps facilitate healing, recovery and soreness
• State-of-the art Odor Resistant Design
• Revolutionary Fabric Design Wicks Away Moisture
• Comfortable, supportive fit.

The Elbow Sleeve by Copper Wear arrived in a box and the sleeve inside has a similar texture compared to a nylon compression sleeve.

For the measurement, I followed Copper Wear's sizing chart:
Legs: Measure the full circumference at 5" above the center of the knee.  Elbows: Measure the circumference 5" above the elbow Feet: Measure around foot, under your heel.
Available in sizes:

• Elbow - MED(10 1/2"-12"), LG(12 1/2"-14"), XL(14 1/2"-16")
  Knee - MED(15 1/2"-17"), LG(17 1/2"-19"), XL(19 1/2"-21"), XXL(21 1/2"-23")
  Ankle - MED(12"-13"), LG(13 1/2"-14 1/2"), XL(15"-16 1/2"), XXL(17"-18 1/2")

The elbow sleeve by Copper Wear has a tight and snug feel but I like how it fits. My elbows sometimes hurt, specially when we ride our bike for an extended period of time, and similar to a compression shirt and socks, the elbow sleeve helped prevent muscle soreness on my elbow. I have no idea how the copper works in this clothing (and honestly, I think of metals when I hear the word copper) but I'm glad it works like a compression garment. I've washed it a few times already and I'm glad that it hasn't shrunk.
