leg sleeves

Athletic compression wear

Leg sleeves are tight-fitting tubular garments that cover the leg without a foot portion, typically made of compression fabric.

Athletes wear them for muscle support, warmth, or protection: Basketball players often wear leg sleeves under their shorts.

They differ from tights or leggings by covering only the leg, not the waist or hips.
