Probably one of the best for running as well; they are tight and hardy enough to get the legs pumped and wearable for a long time. I say that because many other brands, especially Tracksmith, wear out over time and laundry runs making them lose their intended elasticity during wear. For runners and people not wearing anything over them, this makes them just feel like you're wearing slightly tight but loose underwear--a nightmare for even causal performance and makes your bulge flop around with creepy conformations. These give the perfect balance of 'superhero tights' look and feel; no discomfort, great athletic utility, perfectly keeps everything snugly pocketed in place, and communicates what decency tights can Review: Compression Shorts - Why did you pick this product vs others?: Support of lower back and hips. It works great. ## Features - The only graduated compression technology Proven to improve performance and speed recovery - This item is made of our PWX (power-weight-flex) signature fabric that provides an unparalleled combination of powerful compression, lightweight feel and maximum flexibility - Drawstring elastic waistband for secure and comfortable fit - Moisture wicking technology to keep you dry and flatlock seams for chafe-prevention - UPF 50+ Sun protection; ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N7XMXKZ | | ASIN | B01FYDD6BM | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Apparel Closure Orientation | Front | | Apparel Closure Type | Drawstring | | Apparel Fabric Stretch | Medium Stretch | | Apparel Fabric Weight Class | Lightweight | | Best Sellers Rank | #212,543 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #72 in Men's Sports Compression Shorts | | Brand Name | 2XU | | Color | Black/Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (301) | | Date First Available | May 20, 2016 | | Department | Men's Adult | | Fabric Type | 72% Nylon/28% Elastane | | Fit Type | Fitted | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Positive | | Front Pleat Type | flat front | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09336340559313 | | Included Components | Product | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Type Name | Short | | Item Weight | 100 Grams | | Item model number | MA3851b-P | | Manufacturer | 2XU Pty Ltd | | Manufacturer | 2XU Pty Ltd | | Manufacturer Part Number | MA3851b-blk/sil-M | | Material Type | Nylon | | Number Of Pockets | 4 | | Package Dimensions | 1 x 1 x 1 inches; 1 Pounds | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Machine Wash | | Rise Style | Low Rise | | Sleeve Length Description | Sleeveless | | Sport Type | [Multiple] | | Style Name | Core Compression Shorts | | Style Number | MA3851b | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | | character | Sports | ## Images ![Men's Core Compression Shorts - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wK5vTZRtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Runners: 'Superhero tights' modesty and long-lasting elastic performance *by W***D on June 5, 2025* Practically the best all-around compression shorts for men, IMO.
