Meet Pro Compression: From IRONMAN Dreams to Garage Startup Success

We're thrilled to introduce Pro Compression, an inspiring California-based company that transformed from humble garage beginnings to becoming a leading brand of compression apparel. Born from an IRONMAN competitor's vision and designed in California for everyone, Pro Compression proves that great ideas combined with hard work can revolutionize an entire industry.

Designed in California, Made for Everyone

Pro Compression embodies the California spirit of innovation and inclusivity. Their products are designed in Carlsbad, California, with the philosophy that high-performance compression benefits shouldn't be limited to elite athletes—they should be accessible to everyone.

Born in Competition: The IRONMAN Inspiration

The idea for Pro Compression came to co-founder Eric Smith while competing in IRONMAN events. A big believer in compression apparel for performance and recovery from his days as a triathlete, he felt that athletes in other sports should have access to the same benefits.

He knew there had to be an answer for a better pair of compression socks not just for runners or athletes, but the everyday person as well. An idea was born!

The Early Days: Garage to Glory

Teaming up with co-founder Jeff Pennington, the pair felt that they could design a sock that was technical enough for elite athletes but comfortable enough for everyday use by everyone. In 2010, Pro Compression was born!

The company started in a garage with a laptop, printer, and sock prototypes. Fun, excitement, and stress were all part of the late nights and long weekends in the early days of Pro Compression.

Hitting the Road: Building the Brand

A few years of hitting the road for athletic events around the country and promoting their socks paid off. A mix of hard work, trial and error, and a little luck have helped them become what they are today—a testament to the power of persistence and belief in a great product.
