CompressionZCompression Shorts Men for Biking, Running | Athletic Mens Underwear for Workout

These are true compression shorts, not just form-fitting shorts. As such they fit very tight so I recommend ordering a size up from what you'd normally order. I'm a 34 waist, so right in the middle of the large size range. However, I ordered the XL and they fit just right. I doubt I could have gotten the large on, in fact, based on how the XL fits. One thing I wanted was a pair of shorts that would securely hold my phone while running, and the pockets on these do that well. They are large enough for my Samsung Galaxy phone and secure enough that I don't worry about it falling out. They're very comfortable to run in, no binding or chafing. They fit like a second skin. There is a seam in the center of the seat which I was a bit concerned about but the way these fit, that's not been a problem. These shorts are slightly revealing so they're probably not a stand-alone running solution. I wear them under a pair of lightweight nylon shorts and they work great that way. I'm planning to order another pair so that I always have a clean pair ready.

First off, these are compression clothes, if you aren’t reasonably fit for your height, BMI, then you may have a tough time getting into & out of them, especially the shirt. Consider a larger size. Overall the quality & fit is excellent. I was a little concerned that at the price point that they would not offer the compression that I was after, but that concern was unfounded.The cut, seams and fit are excellent with no binding, chafing or creeping after extended wear & vigorous activity. The shirt has a grip coating inside the bottom hem. It will stay in place on your skin or probably some other material but it doesn’t grip well to the matching bottoms. Not a problem as it will end up at your belt line and stay there. The shirt is cut long, around 4”-6” below your belt line. The breathability is exceptional, any better and you’ve have to run naked. Actually these are better than naked because they evaporate the sweat instead of it pouring off your body. If you are running or working out in front of a fan, you can feel the air against your bare skin. I’ve run several 5K’s in typical Florida heat, in both the shorts, & full length pants and of course the shirt. I opt for the long pants as they provide support for my calves and they are actually cooler due to the improved sweat evaporation than just the shorts. I’m considering going with the long sleeve shirt for the same reason.Running solitary, I wouldn’t worry too much about modesty, the bottoms do a good job keeping everything in place and smoothed. If you run an event or work out around other people, then you might want to wear some running shorts. Be sure to find the lightest, thinest, no liner, side cut shorts that you can, anything worn over (or under) will feel hot. Same if you decide to wear something over the shirt. My first time out, I wore a t-shirt which was a mistake. I won’t wear anything but the CompressionZ layer unless I need the shorts for modesty.I didn’t know quite what to expect in the way of performance but afterwards it was immediately apparent. Since I mainly wear these while running, keeping your muscles supported & keeping them from jarring/moving/flopping when they relax while your feet pound the pavement makes a tremendous difference in recovery afterwards. This was most evident in my calves. With my calve muscles slamming with each step, they’d ache for days afterwards. Keeping them supported prevents that pain and I can easily run consecutive days. The same is true for your pects, oblique back muscles, glutes etc.Overall, I’m very pleased wth the product, a few more color selections would be really nice. Since I work out every day, I reordered several more sets to get me between washings. A great value in compression wear.

I love these shorts! The material is top notch and far superior to the other brands of compression shorts that I own. They are far and away superior to Under Armour and they hold up. I make a point to always wash my compression shorts separate from my other clothes because they need to be washed on cold and tumble dried in order to preserve their compression ability.Pros:- Keep their compression strength after multiple washes (provided you wash them in accordance with their directions)- Fabric is absolutely AWESOME. They have a super soft and smooth feel to them and also are very strong.- They dont move much once you get them adjusted. I personally like when they come all the way up to the crotch , the reason I like that is because it keeps your twig and berries from contact with your inner leg, this is also the reason I gave four stars (see my cons list).Cons:- Unless you make a point to pull the inseam all the way up to the crotch, then your manhood will rub against, or stick to the inside of your leg. I do NOT like that. BUT you can get around that by pulling the inseam all the way up and then it doesn't move.- The waist band has a seam that can dig in to your sides, but I get around this by rolling them at the time and then I am good. This is something that I find to be common in all compression under garments because they have to be able to be strong enough to actually compress.Recommendation to CompressionZ:- If you are able to manufacture these shorts with a pouch of some sorts like the Saxx underwear or MyPakage, to keep the manhood in place and from contact with the inner leg, then I would buy these up like crazy and I have a suspicion that anyone else would too!Overall: The fabric is FAR SUPERIOR to UA, its strong and smooth with a solid combination of Nylon and Spandex, not like the weak and rough polyester blends. The compression is awesome, I just love the feel of them on me. The compression pants by CompressionZ are also great, but they really need help on making that waist band not dig in and then finding a way to keep your junk from touching your inner legs. The length is perfect and overall I would STRONGLY recommend these shorts to anyone if you like the strong compression feeling. For the price, you just cannot beat them. I will continue to buy these up like its cool.

The shorts work great keeps my thighs nice and tight, less pain in walking or running.
