Greatly improved thermoregulation and reduced risk of DVT even while inactive. KYMIRA flight socks are stylish, effective and all-round winners.

About

Flight is common place in today’s world. Customers have come to expect certain standards from their carriers, but that does not mean that these expectations shouldn’t be exceeded. To add value to the customer experience, KYMIRA Sport believes that Virgin Atlantic has an exciting opportunity to use their award winning infrared compression socks in air travel. Many passengers wear flight socks on long haul journeys. Sometimes these are included in care packs, but often they’re not. The problems that all current flight socks have, are that they look boring and are often ineffective. Unlike standard flight socks which are only effective if the calf muscles are regularly activated, KYMIRA’s socks harness wasted energy from the wearer which is then converted into infrared. The infrared energy is then re-emitted back into the wearer’s foot and leg where it penetrates up to 4cm and causes a number of biological reactions. Most importantly, an increase in blood circulation to the exposed areas with no muscle activation required. This reduces the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), helps to regulate foot temperature and alleviates any pain, inflammation or joint stiffness without the passenger ever having to leave their seat. KYMIRA’s products and technology have been independently validated by 10 peer-reviewed clinical trials and carry regulatory designations in territories around the world. If that wasn’t enough, KYMIRA’s socks look great and are incredibly comfortable! One retailer went as far as to say that they were the best made compression socks they had ever seen.
