Really like MCS 2XU line. Had been using shorts, kickers, and tights of this line for almost a decade. They are really good products, offering the right compression at the right parts of my legs. I would say they are long lasting for the tight shorts. I think the pockets of this model are not well sized, but it's not a problem to me because I don't wear them.

Overall I am very happy with the purchase. The shorts provide just enough compression to offer support but still be comfortable. I opted to size up being one block away from the next size and feel good with that decision although I do wonder how that smaller size might feel. Wish the site had some additional measures, ie waist and/or thigh, besides height and weight as we are all built differently. First run was great and everything seemed to perform as expected. Washed the garment per instructions and got ready for next race. At starting line the zipper broke so just pushed on. Customer support was great and they took care of the issue very quickly. Overall product appears to be well constructed but check that zipper to make sure it is is secure at the fully open ... MoreOverall I am very happy with the purchase.

These are the best compression shorts I've found. The fabric is thick and very strong--so they really do compress, in a way my muscles appreciate. The pockets in back are well thought-out and actually useful. And the shorts are extremely durable.

Great for running. They are my favorite when its not too hot outside. They run a bit long but that's good so I get compression on my whole thigh. Really feels great and keeps you feeling great. A few pockets is nice, wish there was a big side one for phone size. Also the waist probably doesn't need to go up this high.
The Light Speed Compression shorts provided me with the support I needed in my most recent Hyrox competition. Freedom of movement, support, comfort and great looking.These are my second pair and I highly recommend them for anyone training or competing hard!!
I love this light running compression short and MCS! I ran 20 miles long run and 10miles tempo with this short, It was well holding my quads and hamstrings, hopefully 2XU can put MCS for hamstrings as well for next version, I definitely want to try it again! I also like the pockets as well on the back to hold more GUs and salt pills for marathon race, normally i carry 6-7 GUs and salt pills respectively for my full marathon race. Definitely I will recommend other runners in the team to try this compression short out! Thanks!
3 runs in them now in the past week and they are fantastic. Plan on ordering one or two more pairs. Good pockets for gels and no chaffing on 14+ mile runs with some intensity. Can’t ask for much more.
2XU MCS series shorts provides excellent experience with its unique thigh support design. After trying several different products of other brands, I became regular customer of 2XU. That MCS series do reduce fatigue after a long run, and help me to run more steady. The rear pocket is convenient when you have to carry small things such as keys or a small packet of water.
I am 193cm, purchased a size L and the tights go right down to the knee. Sit very tight against the lower part of the hammies.They do however offer a solid compression on quads and glutes.
