Obviously when worn in an occupational setting compression garments will be worn under traditional work wear or uniforms. As a natural consequence of muscular activity the body produces heat, however in many occupations the environmental conditions can further challenge the body?s ability to regulate temperature. Evaporation is an important method of heat loss for the body and involves heat being transferred to water on the surface of the skin. Once the water gains sufficient heat it is converted to gas (water vapor) taking the heat with it away from the body. Consequently it is not just sweating that is critical to cooling the body but evaporation of that sweat. Kompressorz use a technology that actually facilitates this process by catching the moisture, moving it away and releasing it for quick evaporation.
Consequently compression garments may actually facilitate superior temperature regulation and moisture management even when worn beneath normal work ware or uniforms.
