McDavid Cross Compression Short with Hip Spica For Men - Black (Small)

Having worn neoprene groin shorts for sport for 30 years for hamstring and groin strains these have been a revelation. Neoprene always gets so sweaty that it take ages to dry and smells and you can't wash them easily but these compression shorts are great. The McDavid shorts are lighter and breathable and really do give support to my hip flexor which I have had recent problems with as well as my old hamstring and groin problems which I have always had from football. Would highly recommend these along with other McDavid support products I have bought for my achilles, etc.

I walk about 30km a day so this should be a consideration when reading this.I have tried a few brands of compression shorts and so far these are my favourite so why only 3 stars? The disappointing bit about them is the stitching. It looks great and like they should be able to hold Frankenstein together but despite three separate stitched lines, the thread is weak. So when you put them on for first time or after a wash you have to be really careful else it sounds like tiny little cables snapping all over. You can this in the photo. Also when wearing these wear shorts over the top if running of treadmill walking else you will quickly wear through the material in crutch area as the stitching is raised due to stitching thin smooth material with three lots of thread plus material overlap = a small amount of stitching on stitching rubbing and eventual failure.The material itself is brilliant. Shame about the stitching and I really hope this design flaw is fixed in a newer version.

I have problems with impingement both femurs into hip. Trying to train regularly but having problems. Searched for spica support but only found these for boys. Ordered a size small. I am female. Felt the support as soon as I put them on. Got a bit confused which way round. Label to front or back? Worked it out. Label to front. Tried some squats. Instantly felt the difference. Brilliant. Yes did experience some stitch snapping but the material still holds femurs in place. Ordered another pair straight away. Very pleased. Answer to my prayers. Shame they are only marketed as men’s.

Had these a couple of weeks now, I’ve been using for Gym, Football and Running. Great fit, I’m 33” waist and the medium are a perfect fit. Probably the best compression shorts (and the most expensive!) I’ve ever bought but they seem to be definitely worth the extra. Highly recommended.

This product has made a huge difference to me. I hadn't really been able to do much more than just walk due to a torn cartilage and inflamed medial knee ligament for well over a year. My knee feels so much more secure in the brace and this coupled with some orthopedic insoles to correct my ankle roll has been transformational. Wearing the brace I have been playing competitive sport again and going to the gym. I'm so happy, it's well built, it is also very easy to wash (the metal bits can simply be slid out) and It even fits under my cricket whites and I can bat in it with pads on. The only thing was one of the metal bits felt a bit long and was a bit uncomfortable against my pretty wide calves. I found that just adjusting the metal slightly has done the trick. Not cheap but well worth the money. I have since bought other products in this brand to help prevent hamstring and groin pulls, and they too are excellent.
