I wore mine for the first time during a 50 mile race and they were very comfortable and supportive. The sizing charts on backcountry.com were inconsistent with the CW-X packaging and I had to exchange for one size smaller.

7 days, 250 kilometres across the Gobi- these were my only shorts and thank goodness. Legs felt 'pulled together' and strong. The waistband did not rub where my backpack rested, and even looked a bit more stylish than the other racers! Don't buy just one pair though, you'll want these on everytime you hit the trail.

I'm throwing away my old spandex shorts! These new shorts actually feel like they are supporting my muscles and not just the ones in my legs, but my gluts too! Breathable enough so that I can run in them or throw them on underneath my soccer shorts with having to worry about moisture buildup. I definitely recommend if you have hamstring problems!

These shorts provide excellent support for the large muscle groups of the thigh. They are very comfortable, wick moisture extremely well and reduce the muscle fatigue associated with hard workouts. I highly recommend these shorts.

I'm an avid runner, marathon and half marathon - these shorts are amazing. When you first run in them - you are very aware of them being on - but after a few wash and wears they become like a second skin...they don't pull, or creep up etc. I took someone's advice and bought two pairs - only to have a running buddy steal them from me. Go ahead try them...I think you will love 'em too.
