Following extensive research and consultation with the world's finest athletes and sporting institutes, 2XU has created a collection of premium compression fabrics; created to offer optimal power, weight and flexibility.

The 2XU Mens Compression Shorts have been engineered to offer graduated compression, promoting the removal of blood lactate from exercising muscles for speedier repair and recovery.

This particular garment has been specifically designed to meet the needs of athletes with lower body demands, perfect for rugby players in training and match mode to be worn under other clothing. The high power denier offers support across the hamstrings, quads, abductors and gluts.

Made from 80% nylon and 20% elastane, each fabric features high grade elastomeric yarns and a superior medical grade circular knit structure; allowing for 360º flexibility and unsurpassed power and durability across the garment.

Designed to be worn both during and after exercise, the simple concept behind 2XU Compression is to enhance circulation through a compression fit. This in turn delivers more oxygenated blood to the muscles to flush away the build-up of lactic acid, resulting in the reduction of fatigue and decreased recovery time.

The premium moisture management is also breathable to ensure sweat is wicked away from your skin, keeping you cool and fresh without compromising support.

For enhanced comfort and fit, these compression shorts employ a flat-lock seam construction running down the legs. An elasticated waist with a draw-string cord further enhances the overall fit and support.

Whether worn on the rugby field or post-exercise, these shorts continue to work; meaning less time spent recovering and more time in the game performing to your optimum. These shorts deliver a solution for every user, from weekend warriors to elite athletes.

As an added feature, these shorts benefit from UPF50+ sun protection, so when the action starts to heat up you can still be assured of protection and support whilst undergoing any exercise.

A plain black design features the 2XU branded logo printed in silver running down both legs, accompanied by the silver stitching.
