Review: Tight but comfortable - I thought I had ordered the wrong size when I got the shorts and would have difficulty putting them on - wrong. I forgot that they are compression shorts so obviously they hug the buttocks and thighs, even over a pair of briefs. They are comfortable to wear and feel good when running, especially the extra compression that my other running shorts do not have. The pockets seem well-positioned but I don't have need of them (for the moment). Overall, I'm very satisfied with them. And am wondering when I shall get the next pair!!
Review: Best Compression Shorts - Have had a couple of pairs of 2XU in the past and these ones live up to how good those were. In my opinion the best shorts on the market. They are comfortable and really help with the variety of sports inplay in them

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great To Run In, Too Easy To Break
*by M***D on 15 November 2024*

Love running in these. Very comfortable in all sorts of temperatures and degrees of British weather. No issues with chafing or anything like that. I've been using them for so long that I don't know if they help me perform better or not, but they're so consistent that I hardly care now. The only thing which lets them down is that they have repeatedly come apart around the gusset for me. Sometimes they've worn through, other times the seam starts to become unthreaded and creates a gap. This is a bit frustrating, as I follow all the care instructions and I normally only get about 4 months/500km out of them. Not great, given that they aren't cheap.
