Got questions?

Neoprene is rubbery and traps heat and sweat against your skin. Our sleeves use soft bamboo viscose, which is breathable and moisture wicking, so gentle compression stays comfortable for hours, not minutes.
Every order earns 10% back as store credit (delivery not included). It's added to your BambuCompress account automatically and we'll email you when it's ready.

To use it, just log in at checkout with the email you ordered with. Your credit is applied to any product, it's valid for 90 days, and we'll remind you before it expires. If an order is refunded, the credit from that order is removed.
Hand wash or machine wash cold in a laundry bag with mild detergent, then air dry. Skip bleach, fabric softener and the dryer so the fit and stretch last longer.

The AIR+ Lightweight Bamboo Compression Socks guide

Lightweight Bamboo Compression Socks for Travel, Warm Weather and Long Shifts

AIR+ Lightweight Bamboo Compression Socks are our thinnest, most breathable compression socks. An extra-stretch bamboo knit makes them easy to pull on, cool enough for summer and slim enough for trainers, loafers and dress shoes. They are made for people who want gentle support for tired legs and puffy ankles without the heavy, hot feel of traditional compression stockings. See the full range in our bamboo compression socks collection.

Why choose lightweight compression socks

  • Ultra-light bamboo knit. Viscose from bamboo with nylon and spandex, thin and breathable.
  • Extra stretch. Easier to put on, a big plus if you have stiff hands or limited reach.
  • Fits any shoe. Thin enough for dress shoes and trainers alike.
  • Comfortable in heat. Great for warm climates, travel days and busy summers.

Who AIR+ is for

  • Compression socks for travel and flying. Long flights and road trips can leave legs stiff and ankles swollen. If you have a history of blood clots, ask your doctor which compression level is right for you before you fly.
  • Standing all day at work, from healthcare to retail and hospitality.
  • Mild swelling and tired legs at the end of the day. Learn about common causes of oedema from the NHS.
  • People new to compression who want something gentle to start with.

AIR+ socks offer gentle compression for comfort and are not medical-grade stockings. For medical conditions, the NHS explains how compression stockings are prescribed.

How to choose your size

Pick your size by UK shoe size using the chart above. If you are between sizes or have wider calves, size up for comfort.

AIR+ vs EASE+

AIR+ is thinner and cooler, ideal for warm weather and dress shoes. EASE+ Bamboo Compression Socks are thicker and more cushioned, with optional grip soles for home. Many customers keep both: AIR+ for travel and work, EASE+ for relaxing at home. For cushioned soles, see STEADY+ Cushion Crew Socks. Pick a multi-pack in the offer box above to get free pairs.
