Our LEGEND® MicroFiber Opaque Collection, Thigh High, 15-20mmHg will not only treat venous conditions and mild varicosities but will also relieve your tired and aching legs and provide the ultimate in comfort and fashion.

The LEGEND® MicroFiber Opaque Collection, Thigh High, 15-20mmHg  provides graduated compression to your blood circulation and simultaneously offers the support your legs will need to keep you fresh throughout a long day. They also boast style, unmatched softness and durability. These are closed toe compression stockings.

What Are The Differences Between Opaque and Sheer Stockings?

Opaque stockings are less transparent than sheer stockings and may therefore be a good choice if you are looking to obscure skin blemishes or other unsightly marks. They will also provide greater warmth than sheer stockings during the colder months while maintaining a fashionable look. Finally, they also provide a better (more snug) fit when worn with looser fitting footwear.

What Are The Advantages Of Thigh High Compression Stockings?

Compared to knee high stockings,  thigh highs can offer a number of advantages. They

  • cover the entire leg and so can address problem areas that may not be reached by knee highs e.g. swelling above the knee;
  • improve circulation throughout the entire leg;
  • help treat spider or varicose veins in the thighs.

Some patients regard thigh highs as a more comfortable alternative to panty hose, since they do not have a waistband cutting into the midsection all day. In addition, you do not have to remove them during visits to the restroom.

What Are The Advantages Of The 15-20mmHg Compression Level?

15-20mmHg compression, otherwise known as moderate compression, is a great choice for daily wear, travel, and sports. It will help improve circulation without being too tight on the patient’s legs.

LEGEND® MicroFiber Opaque Collection, Thigh High, 15-20mmHg – Other Features

Comfort and fashion oriented features of the LEGEND® MicroFiber Opaque Collection, Knee High, 15-20mmHg include:

  • The moisture wicking microfiber supports excellent breathability and will keep your feet dry and cool all day long.
  • A welt band at the top of the stockings helps keep them in place throughout the day without binding, pinching or marking your skin.
  • The seamless closed toe design makes these stockings go nicely with a closed toe shoe.
