RX Men's Graduated Compression Baselayer Shorts

Very good material and performance!I'm a 32inch waist and a medium fitted fine. It is a little bit too snug for the jewels mind, presumably as they are compression pants, however all round they are very comfortable whilst offering excellent compression, flexibility and after many washes they are still going strong.These are much, much better than Nike 2.0 compression shorts which however comfortable it's material is too light (the lighter fabric is good for summer mind), but the Nike shorts offer little if any compression and the fit isn't as good. The Sub Sport's are also better than the Skins bio A200.Just note the previous model ('Black/orange/gray' model) had a draw cord this does not, however this doesn't effect the performance much as the waist band doesn't slip down, and this model is definitely an improvement over the later. This, the RX also has a heavier material than the sub dual models which has an almost cooling effect.

Being a man i dont normally wear lycra, but i wear these under my shorts (i get no joy out of seeing my self in them, i dont really want to put any one else at the gym or on the street while am running through that pain).I am always skeptical of products which claim to be amazing and do all these super hero style things, but these work really well. I am a 250lb guy who runs 10k 3+ times a week in about an hour, so i sweat enough to fill up a few swimming pools. While running outside with a breeze i find that as soon as the wind hits them i get a lovely cool chill run through them which really helps keep me cool, also.. and very importantly, they work well at stopping me from chaffing between my thighs.They are so comfortable and so good at keeping the sweat away that once i cooled off i am already dry and i dont want to take them off. I cant guarantee they will make you run faster, or cool your body down, but i can guarantee that they are hard wearing, hand wash and dry quite easily, and are great if you dont really want to take a tub of vaseline around with you

Over the years I have seen an increasing number of people wearing these kind of shorts, but I have always remained a little sceptical about them. Having recently been diagnosed with a hernia I decided it was worth giving some a try ... but which brand?! I have worn compression tops for some years and have found the Sub Sports tops to be better (and cheaper) than those from Nike and Under Armour, which I also own, so I opted for these shorts. I have been impressed by them and the added sense of security and support they offer. I have also bought some Gilmore compression shorts, which were on an irresistible offer at the time. They are also good, but if both brands were at the same price I would choose these from Sub Sports over the ones from Gilmore as these fit higher around the waist and some support around the lower abdomen area too.

I wanted small but that size wasn't available so went down a size to maximise compression. Quality is great, with comfy material and sticking.These will look incredibly small when you open the packet, but once you squeeze into them they feel great and provide some amazing compression without any issues.Hips:37, Thighs:21

I kept straining my adductor while playing football. I may have originally torn it. After spending weeks recovering and doing exercises back to recovery, the pain would disappear and I'd be back on the football pitch, only to strain it again. I bought these hoping it would enable me to play football without straining my adductor. They worked better than expected and after a few months, I was back to normal and not needing to wear them anymore.

Thought i would wait a few weeks after a few runs and washes, and must say im very pleased with material and comfort. Im a 36/38 waist and brought xl size and fits great, it has shrunk slightly after a few washes but nothing that you can notice like other brands. Very pleased.

Being 4 way stretch material these shorts are wonderfully comfortable, there just are no other shorts as good - whether used for sport or as underwear, also they wash well. I have tried many different Lycra shorts & these are the best. I have ordered a further 2 pairs; they may be a little expensive but they are so much better - my Under Armour shorts just do not compare (and almost cost the same) so I am phasing them out for these .

Certainly good value for money. They offer good compression and are quite comfortable over multiple sports. Could to with having more breathable material around the crotch but you only really notice on warmer days and longer runs.The only thing I particularly dislike is the waistband as the cord/elastic distorts and folds over. I wouldn’t say it’s uncomfortable, just really annoying at times.
