Champion Men's Powerflex Compression Short

I generally wear a size 34 waist in pants, I have muscular thighs and glutes, and my body fat is at about 17%. My legs aren't super huge, though, like some athletes, but I do have trouble finding jeans that fit well on me. I ordered the Large size of these shorts and they fit snug, but they're not overly constricting, and that's how I like them. I had owned a pair of XL champion compression shorts in the past which fit me but were not as tight as I personally like, so I sized down with this order. In terms of quality, for about $12 a pair I think these are a very good value. They're very light weight, soft, with a comfortable waist band and no stitching or tags that feel annoying. They're not thick material, they're really more of an undergarment than a true compression short. But I only needed something that was very stretchable and 100% non restrictive, and these fit the bill for me in that regard. I wear these as bottoms while weight training with nothing else, there's no fly and they don't become see-through when stretched, so I think they're fine when used as an outergarment. I could care less about appearance in the gym, I wanted something that was functional with deep squats and deadlifts, these shorts work perfectly for me.

Having tried the expensive Mava compression shorts and the slightly cheaper Hanes, the Champion shorts are the best of the bunch and at a very good price. The Mava is a bit too snug, not to mention expensive. The Hanes shorts are a bit too loose. The Champion shorts are the Goldilocks of the bunch: just right! They are snug but not too snug, hold everything in place, wash easily, and are inexpensive. I've since ordered several more. For long runs, these are my go-to compression shorts every time.

Bought this a few weeks ago and wore it for an event. It is a very good pair of shorts for the price. They fit as expected, being a little tight around the waistband but otherwise surprisingly comfortable. I am usually a size L but went XL because I didn't want to have to squeeze. These shorts fit similarly to boxer briefs, so if you wear them, you should be fairly familiar with the tightness. They do compress a good amount, but not to an uncomfortable extent. They stay in place during any physical activity and don't roll up. Overall, very solid product, especially since a lot of quality compression shorts will run you up to 30 dollars.

I was stuck in ditch.Not literally, but metaphorically. I had hit rock bottom at about 13 years of age, wearing the least I could of Hanes and Fruit-of-the-Loom boxers on the daily. Everywhere I looked, people surrounding me were have the time of their lives. Of course, the time of their lives was because of their high quality Calvin Klein boxer briefs and Under Armor compression shorts. 2 years had gone by living with the agony and distress of only wearing boxers. I was 15, and thought I should be hitting the weight room soon. I Before I got to the gym my first day, I expected to see others that looked just like me working out. When I got there, my heart deflated. Others were wearing similar athletic shorts, and a cutoff or short sleeve shirt. But I could tell that wasn't it. Just observing the way they walked, they way they talked, how they interacted with others, I could tell without a second thought that each and every one of them were wearing compression shorts. I, of course, was the only one wearing boxers. Things just weren't working out in my teen years. I was 16, and starting to take more control of the decisions I made in life. I had just recently entered my payment method onto my Amazon account, and was buying things such as biographies for history class, accessories for my camera, and other small things. I was at a friends house playing ultimate frisbee. We decided that it would be shirts vs. skins, and my team was skins. I removed my shirt, and let the beautiful beams of sunlight run through my skin. It was a great game of frisbee, until I looked down to see my boxers showing from under my "The Come Sail Aways" shorts by Chubbies. The past 3 years of my life flashed through my head and down my nerves to make ever nook and cranny feel a shiver, and I sprinted a straight for miles back to my own home. I got there, Opened my computer and went straight to the amazon website. I had no idea what I was doing at the time, but I knew it was right. I clicked the search box, paused for a second, closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The words flowed through my fingers like florida sand into the search box: "Compression Shorts". I scrolled through the results clicked on the 'Champion Men's Powerflex Compression Short', and checked out. The old expression, "No guts, no glory", may seem like an old folk song to some, but when you witness something that calls upon a substantial amount of bravery, the four words have an exceeding depth of meaning. Thank you, Amazon, Champion, for allowing me to wear these comfortable undergarments, that have made my life better at an insurmountable profit.

Bought these compression shorts to keep my inner thighs from rubbing together. Just tried them on a run and they work perfect. They fit me along the leg and crouch similar to the pictures shown. But the waist band folds over some because I have a bit of tummy. They were not as snug as some shorts I've seen guys wearing. I was concerned when I first put them on because they didn't ride all the way up. Yet they turned out snug enough to prevent the thigh rubbing. I wore them under my running shorts. They did not get hot or overly wet from sweat. It's 80 degrees here so I do get sweaty but they were not drenched like my tank top. I'm so happy. My thighs used to be raw on any run 5km or longer. I bought three more pair so I won't have to wash frequently. Update 9/16/15 The waist band folds over. This makes the band feel tight and uncomfortable. I'm over weight and that's probably the reason. However, I recently bought a different brand because they were on sale. I purchased the same size. The other brand is more comfortable and the band doesn't fold over pinching my waste. I've lowered the stars to 3. I recommend trying a size larger with these

These fit great and are very comfortable!

Excellent.

I like the shorts. Great for working out.

Nice soft fabric and just the right amount of compression to feel good wearing them all day long. Beside they are the best to wear as an under layer while cycling, the seams appear to be at the right place to prevent chafing. I usually wear 34-35 and and Large fits perfect. Perfect length too. But that is me with my own shape.. They might fit different on you.

Great Product. Great Price. Beats the more expensive brands. Looks pretty damn good as well. I am 6 feet tall 192 pounds , huge legs and glutes from squats and the large fits perfect.
