Our Story

Two Times You.

2XU was founded in Melbourne in 2005 with a simple idea — to build gear that actually delivered on its promises. We started with the hardest: triathlon. Where three disciplines place three different demands on the same garment, there’s no room for compromise.

Reset. Refocus. Transform.

Since then, we’ve grown into the world’s leading compression brand — but the driving force remains the same. We make gear that helps people perform at their highest level, whether “highest level” means the Olympics or a first 5K.

Manifesto

We believe that change is physical.

That the first kilometer is always the hardest.

That gear should serve the body — not the other way around.

Science & Craftsmanship

What makes a garment a 2XU garment?

We never start with fashion. We start with science. Every yard of PWX fabric is tested in the lab before it gets anywhere near a body.

01 — Fabric testing in an Instron machine. Every batch of PWX fabric is pulled, stretched, and stressed until we know exactly how it recovers. Only fabric that meets our standards moves on.

02 — Garment construction. The fabric is cut and sewn into garments where compression is graduated — stronger where it’s needed, softer where it needs to breathe.

03 — Salzmann testing. The finished garment is tested on a Salzmann pressure gauge — the internationally recognized standard for medical-grade compression. No garment leaves the lab without that certification.
