I recent bought 3 pairs of 2xu compression shorts for gym use. Rebel used to stock Skins but don’t anymore though these are a good substitute and good quality.They are a bit pricey though at around $80 a pair….price varies with colour too. They only come in 3 colours as well…black, blue and light brown.

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 by far the best compression shorts I have found. If you are looking for true compression, you cant find a better short. I wear them while playing tennis and basketball, and will not play without them. I play competitively in both sports and these shorts do their job!

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!
I was looking for a quality compression short while working out. The light speed compression shorts are a great size, leg just above the knee, waist above the hips so abbs support. Plus space for your gear, back pocket for the mobile phone, zip side pocket and on other side an easy to get to pocket. While moving your muscles are supported and all your gear stays in place so you can concentrate on your activity. I have swum in them and they felt great.
These shorts are great! I only did one short run in them before sliding them on for a FULL marathon. Comfortable and non-restricting. I did have to send my first pair back, but that's because I had to get a bigger size. Highly recommend.
Always a long time 2xu customer, swear by their products, but was pretty disappointed, its definitely not the same high quality stuff of previous generations. Functionality is the same why I gave 4 stars. Sad another great brand goes after profits before quality. Probably buy Skins next time now they are back.
So far, I have no complaints about my new compression shorts. I hope they last as long as my previous pair which I have now had for 6 years. I wear them 3-4 times a week for refereeing and they have not lost their compression, I just needed a second pair when I am unable to launder. Very happy with my 2XU products thus far.
The Rolls Royce of compression shorts. Extremely well made. Perfect fit. Pockets, zips and space for every runners needs. Comfortable. They look good. And they do the job of ‘protecting’ muscles whilst you run. Highly recommended. £70 looks expensive. But hey…it’s a Rolls Royce.
I wear these for most of my workouts, cardio and running. I find the compression really helps keep my legs fresh. Also help with recovery. Since I do a lot of core work and even upper body work that requires stability, I wear these whenever I'm kt doe ifjcally doing leg workouts, as I prefer the Forcd Compression Shorts on Leg days.
