Mabs Travel is a thin and comfortable cotton support sock that is specially designed to provide good support on trips where you sit still for long periods of time. Thanks to the thin material, we also recommend the sock for those who find compression socks difficult to put on. The support socks are knitted in a comfortable, durable material and have graduated compression that is highest at the ankle and tapers off towards the knees. Sitting still for longer periods increases the risk of swollen legs and blood clots, so this applies not only to long air journeys, but also to longer car journeys and train journeys. This can be countered by using support stockings. The compression improves blood circulation, so you feel more active in your legs all day, regardless of whether you are standing, walking or sitting.
