SKINS Men's A400 Compression Power Short

I've used them once so far, and my legs have felt great. I should preface this by saying I'm a fanatic of compression, and own/owned the skins a400 half tights, a400 top, ry400 tights, 2xu half tights, full tights, and all sorts of nike compression. One thing that I really liked about the skins a400 series was that they were extremely comfortable. The material they use for the crotch is actually phenomenal (memory mx). It's probably the only pair of compression I would feel alright wearing after my sporting event for a few more hours. However, one of the problems with the original a400s was that they didn't feel durable. While they were insanely comfortable, I was unsure of how they would hold up. The power shorts solves this as they are much thicker and offer much more compression. The trade off I found though, is that while they still use memory mx on the crotch, the thicker material isn't as comfortable. However, my legs really do feel fresh, thus, I'm giving it a five star rating. Something I didn't understand before was that I thought compression was only good for recovery, thus using it during exercise would be useless. The power shorts especially, have demonstrated that they reduce recovery time by preventing your muscles from vibrating and getting damaged.I will say though, after doing my own research for a while, most of the benefits of compression have been found in full length tights, and this was the case with my other 2 half tights. Though the power short did work for me, if you really want to give compression a try, do try out full length tights, as you can use them to recover in and exercise in.

I love these things! They are awesome! They and Amazon.com exceeded all expectations. Yes, they are expensive, but coming from someone who has bought all CWX, they're not that out of line. But they're worth the money. They stay up, they're snug and they can be worn by themselves, which is why I bought them to use in the summer months. Normally, I take a Medium but after trying some UnderArmors, I found I take a large. I'm glad I did. They are very snug so I would have had to return them if I had purchased the MD, just FYI. If you can afford these things, get 'em!

The size i checked online I was suppose to fit Small but was along the upper limit of the size. when i tried i realized that it was just slightly too tight maybe because of my big gluteus. Would have preferred it if it was more fitting.

Best compression shorts I've owned, wearable all day for long competitions

Very high quality. Well worth the money. Sizing was smaller than anticipated.

Too expensive, not for male anatomy.

very good！like it very much！

Great product....

Bought these shorts and at first I was a bit sceptical. Just to give you some background I'm a competitive master power lifter. Because of my ageing body and recovering from injuries. I wanted to get something to help me with recovery as well allow me to keep training. When I tried these on, definitely something was different. When I got to the gym I started working up to a single heavy and then drop back down to working heavy loads as well. We'll I got through a hard day , but the shorts helped me from getting over fatigued. Helped kept me tight and best of all, didn't have the DoMs afterwards. Ended up buying tights as well as I was very impressed.

Great shorts son does a lot of weight lifting and has hug leg fines they fit well and loves them

The support is sturdy and comfortable. I feel I am able to play more minutes of intensive badminton with these shorts.

Very comfortable, hangs a bit low on the back compared to what I am used to but not bad.

Too tight to do anything in, let alone exercise. Instead of compressing, they constrict circulation. Maybe a size larger than normal would help. They don't seem designed for anyone with a developed buttocks, great for a non-existent white guy ass, but not so great for anyone else.
