      Lontex Corporation (Sweat It Out)

      SWEAT IT OUT® specializes in TRUE COMPRESSION for both the Upper and Lower body to help prevent injuries and also to help with rehabilitation from an existing injury.

      SWEAT IT OUT® Performance Compression apparel is made from a unique, powerful fabric, designed to be worn next to the skin for a tight fit providing true compression to the underlying tissue and muscle without restriction or discomfort. The LYCRA® content in these garments is the highest available for stretch and recovery.

      Don’t assume that all compression is the same.

      Other brands will give you only the impression of compression and in many cases
      will not provide the support you need which will lead to greater pain and a
      longer recovery time in rehabilitation, if at all.
