Comparing the Top 11 Compression Boot Systems

[@davidclark2783]

Thank you for all your work in ranking these boots as objectively and concisely as you can. You saved the viewers a ton of time.

[@diane97531]

I bought the Therabody RecoveryAir JetBoots. They worked for 2 days and then the power would come on, but they would not start. They were paired and the app on my phone recognized them. I tried to contact Therabody and they only do chat and have no one that can help you with the product. I am so frustrated. I will never buy a Therabody product again. I also did not have the split charger. Could only charge 1 boot at a time.

[@shaheeraziz]

Brilliant video! Just what I needed as someone new to this topic.

[@RapidReboot]

Very thorough comparisons! We're glad to hear you're loving our GENESIS unit 💪🔥

[@christianblanchard81]

any update when genesis and regen going to be back in stock?

[@billc1048]

Update on stock, I can’t wait much longer…

will you be reviewing the new normatec 3? would love to know the differences between 2 and 3

[@toddjohnson3153]

Hi i own several pairs of the Air Relax compression boots...they work amazingly well and they do have the capability to deactivate zones!

[@GregoryNegroni]

Great comparison review thanks. Real shame you didn't include the Sharper Image Air Boots as they are half the price than the cheapest ones you review here and by all accounts they hold up rather well, but maybe you can refresh this since it's over a year old now.

[@haroldpinteresque4460]

I concur with your assessment. Many brands ignored.

[@BK-tabemasho]

Very Helpful. But Now I Have Even More Questions. Talk About Coming In Unaware And Leaving Overwhelmed!

[@reneeknight4462]

What a great and involved video, thank you so much 🙏, you put a LOT of work into making this

[@BestMassageTech]

Thank you for the kind words and acknowledging the effort it took!

[@LeiJiang-vx5ce]

there's a voice that the pressur must be higher than 120mmHg, is that correct?

[@jmakabd103]

you deserve more subs for the amount of effort, attention to detail and the fact you're straight to the point. exactly what we need for faster research. i hope youtube favours you. keep doing what you do. guys subscribe to him !

[@BestMassageTech]

Thanks for the kind words! Hope KZbin notices, haha!

[@jaygee1569]

What does negative pressure gradient mean and why is it important?

[@BestMassageTech]

It means that each air chamber closer to your core the pressure is 1mmHg less. This is important because it ensures all fluids are flowing back toward your core and there is no opportunity for back flow toward your feet. Think of it as directional pressure versus one universal pressure - if you squeeze something with more pressure on one side, it will go in the opposite direction versus if you squeeze something equally/evenly, it will go in multiple directions. Hope that analogy makes sense.

[@DarthGengarus]

Can you do cheap ones like Quinear and fitking to these top ones from like hyperice and therabody

[@Drillorz]

Should I get the therabody jet boots or the normatec pulse 2.0? I need something that I can easily travel with too

[@brianongteco3536]

We love our AIR RELAX , After sales was great. Customer service is superb!!

[@nazariosettembre389]

do these compresone boots help shin splint and leg cramping in the middle of night

[@corybenson7083]

How does the Leg Compression System by Vive Health compare to these compression systems?

[@adamdutton3474]

What about the super cheap ones any videos on them

[@haroldpinteresque4460]

Agree. GThis review seems incomplete.

[@martinrognashagen9963]

I am struggling to choose, the Normatec 3 and the Therabody prime air is now on sale. If you had to choose one, regardless of the price, which one would you pick?

[@BestMassageTech]

Prime

[@Bubbles99718]

Do these things work?

[@dellsun3678]

Hey man! Love your reviews on KZbin as I am in the market for compression boots. Curious to know, as the normatec 2.0 price has dropped to $699. Which would you recommend, Normatec 2.0 or the therabody recovery prime, with both being at $699?

[@konk15d]

I think the Therabody is $599 now…

[@mr.worldfree3333]

Normative is better

[@jenniferlopez1670]

Thank you for the comparison. Do any of compression boots come with an all over heat option?

[@BestMassageTech]

No, unfortunately not

[@issbg80]

@BestMassageTech - I am 200 cm tall / 6'7'' - which brand is best for a tall person?

[@officialJerryKing]

Awesome video man 😎

[@kimberlytatro7216]

Thank you for this video. Have you tested any of the newer releases? Curious on an updated recommendation as I am new to the market

[@haroldpinteresque4460]

Cannot help but notice you tested variations on a few brands. And ignored several others. Question: were you paid by these companies to give a review? Because I bought your highest rated boot, and found the compression weak. Then the air leak light became illuminated. Returned them to Best Buy. Found your review cursory, incomplete, and left wondering if it was on the up-and-up.

[@Edgaras.Satkunas]

What you recommended thera air jetboots or normatec 3?

[@mattbarge]

Do any of these boots let you configure how long they hold pressure? The ones I've tried, they let go of pressure after 5-10 seconds, which is shorter than I prefer. Thanks!

[@someoneyouknow6632]

The rapid reboot regen allows you to customize hold time

[@haroldpinteresque4460]

Agree!

[@bryant0smith]

Great stuff. Definitely helped with my decision making. Would love to see a similar comparison with compression boots that just cover the lower 1/2 the leg. For example, spryng's, google sprynme, and ifitking's cordless rechargeable foot leg massager, ft-059a, are two that I looked at. It may need to be preceded with a video beforehand on whether they are effective before wasting time reviewing for comparison. Why buy one of these when I just bought some compress boots?

[@bryant0smith]

- Looking for something portable to put on immediately after a tennis match or workout. - Small enough that I can bring with me to the tennis court or for traveling by airplane. - Something I can use in the confines of a small car. - Something that is comfortable enough to fall asleep while wearing. - Boots like Spring's are appealing because I can still walk around or drive. - Boots like Fit King's are appealing because it does the foot as well.

[@jhhuang8967]

Why there isn't a comparison pants out there covers both leg and hip at once?

[@BestMassageTech]

There is. Therabody makes them

[@jhhuang8967]

@@BestMassageTech It's not a standalone unit. It requires their pro unit which already included boots. It's kinda of redundant and pricey.

[@BestMassageTech]

@@jhhuang8967 completely agree but just pointing out that it does exist

[@avealar3983]

What compression boots are the quietest in your opinion? I have rapid reboot, but it's gotten louder and louder with time.

[@rudyel-khoury7046]

Opinion on rapid reboot regen vs normatec 3(3.0)? Which has more pressure? Bang for buck? Better one?

[@kaiwalkenhorst11]

rapid reboot hits 200mmHg. normatec, therabody, etc max out at 100mmHg. the deflate feature on the rapid reboot is awesome, price is now $995 for rapid reboot which is competitive with the others

[@CheekSteve]

Thank you very much, It was exactly what I was looking for !!!

[@MoonerBros]

RecoveryAir Pro (Gen2) vs. Normatec 2.0 Pro. Which do you prefer, if budget is not an issue?

[@jonsopher6766]

Why do they have to be so expensive?

[@randallcurtis3344]

Good comparisons, could you do a review of the Quantum Air Compression Therapy System?

[@spearmint4093]

SO WHICH IS THE CHEAPEST and besT?

[@ncghana1]

Do you know if these boots come in different lengths or if they continue to work if not zipped up fully? Or do you have any recommendations for those who are vertically challenged?

[@BestMassageTech]

If you’re looking for shorter pairs, consider getting a brand that allows you to deactivate chambers. Then you can deactivate the one closest to your core and unzip them to the desired length.

[@ncghana1]

@@BestMassageTech Do you know if the chamber has to be fully zipped to operate?

[@BestMassageTech]

@@ncghana1 it doesn’t. If the boots are unzipped, they will still fill.

[@ncghana1]

@@BestMassageTech thanks 👍

[@HenryHass]

Normatec 3 is the worst of them. They have reduced the pressure and the compression effect does not exist. My athletes use pressure between 140 and 170. Normatec reach a maximum of around 100 or 110. It's so low that they removed the information about the pressure. Try Avanutri with 8 chambers and up to 260mmHg pressure. This really works for athletes with large muscle mass.

[@haroldpinteresque4460]

Check for air leaks. Mine had them. Out of the box.

[@manoelrico9779]

@@haroldpinteresque4460 There are no leaks. Normatec's technical specification is a maximum pressure of 100, which does not work for athletes. If anyone has any doubts, offer the athlete a higher compression and you will notice that they will not want to go back to 100.

[@banned_user]

I'm curious to know, what makes you believe the normatec 2.0 pro is rated less than the normatec 2.0?

[@BestMassageTech]

Strictly based on my scoring system the 2.0 ranks higher, with the main thing making it rank higher being it’s priced under $1,000. Depending on what specs you value it could be perceived that the 2.0 pro is “better”. In terms of overall value (focusing on average viable features), which my scoring system optimizes for, the 2.0 is “better”.

[@banned_user]

@@BestMassageTech I ordered the 2.0 pro myself. Waiting on them to arrive. Do you know how to tell the difference between the boots? Or are they exact same, with the only difference being in the device unit itself ? If so, how can I tell if the set is the pro or not? Apart from it being written on the box ofc

[@BestMassageTech]

@@banned_user I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. The boots are the same. The only difference is the unit itself. The units are slightly different looking. The 2.0 has grey buttons and the pro is a smooth all black interface.

[@nickmadahar416]

[@justincoleman7856]

So this is my only complaint is the fact that you did a review of 3 different RecoveryAir boots, but did not once do a review on the Reathlete air compression leggings (in case you're wondering, yes Amazon does sell them so that's an oversight on your part).
