Great Compression Socks for Flying
I have been having a lot of swelling in my legs after my longer flights. I found these socks that I was told would keep the swelling down, reduce fatigue and have a positive effect on circulation and DVT. After 10 days and a few long flights, they really helped. They are thinner than cotton athletic socks, about the same thickness as dress socks.
DeCompressor socks These are worth trying. I don't often wear socks, but when I do ... |
Seems like a good idea ... I've thought about this before but the high price (insert cheap pilot joke here) has kept me away. I wonder of these cheaper socks are a similar product?
Nordstrom Compression Trouser Socks (3 for $33) | Nordstrom I once saw an infomercial for the Miracle Socks below, phoned the "800" number to order them and decided not to when I heard the outrageous s&h charge. Buy Miracle Socks Anti-Fatigue Compression Socks, Unisex, Small/Medium, Black & More | drugstore.com |
But do they make good puppets ?

I've purchased compression socks from the uniform shop in the past.

You guys have some nerve, trying to extend your careers. I mean really, how about a little consideration for those younger guys, whose seats you've taken. ;) Next you'll be talking about depends and drool towels for those over-water flights.:eek: Seriously, if you need compression socks, what's next, exercise? Just because you can die from a spontaneous blood clot, doesn't mean you should actually do something about it. I think that retirement, immediately, is a far better option, and if you don't believe me, just ask someone junior to you.;)
However, failing that, here's a really good article on the subject: prevention of air travel blood clot fatalities JJ |
