These are actually way better than I expected them to be. The fabric is the usually quality from 2XU, fit is great, compression is excellent as always.

I live in a hot climate and these are perfect for summer training. I'm talking 100°F+

These could be perfect (for some reason NOBODY makes actual commission SHORTS for men?) but there's a couple of things they'd need to do first.

1. I know these are short shorts, but adding (even a small) pocket for a key would be helpful.

2. The drawstring. It's NEVER comfortable. Just put a wide waistband on them like some of your running tights and literally EVERY item of clothing a woman wears for sports. It doesn't need to be high-waisted, but as an option it might stop them moving?

3. For the love of God, PLEASE understand that men also want more than Black/Black or Black/Silver. It's so boring!

I have purchased several and am very satisfied with the performance, comfort fit, and durability.

I'm an active competative speedskater, the compression is solid, not tight. I am 6'2" with a but unusually large thighs - this product really fits and serves me well.

It was not offered by 2XU for quite a period of time and I'm pleased for myself and others that they have re-kindled the product to be available.

I have been waiting to buy these shorts for five years. I originally bought a pair in Colorado Springs in the bargain bin of a sports store and then searched for years to find more. I even asked 2XU to make more-- and they eventually did. The shorts are ideal for running, especially in hot weather, and I logged many miles in the original pair (and they're still in good condition). My only minor criticism is that they don't have a pocket.
