compression garments

I've only been wearing my sleeve and gauntlet for 6 weeks, and already they have runs, snags, and I actually had to sew the upper arm cuff layers back together. Can you recommend a brand that is durable and available online? I'd like to avoid a another visit to the fitter if possible. With no insurance, I'll just have to suck up the extra cost, but I'd like to benefit from others' experience and have a better experience second time around.

Of the off-the-shelf, non-custom garments, I have found Juzo soft (2001 or 2002) sleeves to wear well. I wear a glove, not a gauntlet, but I found the Medi 95 glove lasted well. I believe they make a gauntlet. Both can be ordered online. I like brightlifedirect.com because they have a no-questions-asked 30 days return policy. KS1

Thanks. I will look into this.

LympheDivas class 2 sleeves and the farrow glove are my favorites as they don't wear as quickly as some of the others

Lymphedivas look so pretty, but my class one didn't stand up to wear and tear. Maybe it was just a fluke, but I think I'm going to try a different company.
