CW-X Pro Shorts - Men's

Playing ice hockey again following hip arthroscopy. Shorts work as described by manufacturer. Help to reduce impact and excessive rotation in my hips, as well as a feeling of decreased joint loading. A little pricey for compression shorts but in my opinion and situation, worth it.

These shorts fit well, support well, and I use them regularly for long runs. I'm happy with the purchase, but I think that in general the CWX products are overpriced. I'm undecided on whether I'll buy another pair or not.

These are the best athletic shorts I have ever used. My my upper legs feel firmly supported and I experience less fatigue do to the compression factor. I skate 13 miles a few times a week and it is a noticeable factor for reduced fatigue. I am also a registered nurse and I understand the importance of supporting venous return which exactly what these shorts actually provide. They also provide great stability for the legs. I highly recommend these shorts to anyone who is involved with any serious athletic activities.

I was amazed to find that CW-X doesn't use a crotch gusset in these. In fact, the big seam running through the crotch in an "X" isn't even flatlocked. So, while I like these shorts for short runs, anything longer than a 10K is asking for chafing.

These are the best pair of compression shorts I have worn. They keep my leg muscles warm and support me in the all right places. I have used them in football and hockey (not straight running yet) and I have less muscle soreness and fatigue than with regular compression shorts. There only drawback is price (a bit steep), but I have bought two pair...

As a 6'2" 155lbs. male, I do not exist on the CW-X sizing chart. So I went with a medium, but a large may have been better. The shorts performed great, and I had no cramping issues in my last 50 mile race, they were just a little tight in the crotch. Still, there was no chafing there. And I was most impressed with how I felt the next day- greatly reduced soreness in my quads and hamstrings. I am looking forward to cold weather so I can try their tights next.

Great pair of compression shorts. Pricey, but they really helped for quad and glut fatigue. I play football and hockey in them and my legs are nowhere near as tired the next day as with traditional compression shorts. The drawstring is key to help keep them up. They are extremely comfortable too. Have not tried them for straight running yet.

I have been working out an hour or so a day for 35 years and this is the first product I have felt compelled to review. Fending off injury and post workout soreness has become an issue and compression shorts seem to work for me. CWX makes a high quality product. I just purchased a second pair and use them with the briefs which are equally comfortable. Perhaps the only downside is that there is some lower abdominal compression which might be uncomfortable for some individuals.

After hemming and hawing for quite a while I broke down and finally bought a pair of these shorts. They do just as they say, the support can be felt the first minute you put them on, and is even more noticeable once you have gone a few miles. My legs felt quite a bit stronger than normal after a few miles of trail running and I did not have nearly as much soreness later on or during the next day. I will be taking them with me on a upcoming backpacking trip and can not wait. Bottom line, worth every penny.

these compression shorts are awesome. I'm 60-years old and ran a marathon (Disney) in them. Finished in 2:58:00 just 2 seconds under my marathon-best which I did a year before when I was 59. The second part of the race I could still maintain a 6:50 pace. Had the feeling as if I was sitting in a comfortable chair. After the sub-3 marathon I was a bit tired but not as much as usual. I cannot prove that this was due to the shorts but I really think they have helped me.

These shorts are really comfortable and seem to reduce my recovery time from a good workout. They are really well made too (comparable to Pearl Izumi).

This is one of the rare running products that actually lives up to its advertising, at least to a significant degree. I found these to offer some much-needed support in the quads on runs of 15+ miles. Also, if you train on any serious hills, you'll find that these really reduce the strain of downhill running. Highly recommended.

I loved the support and the flat seams throughout this short. However they missed the crucial seam. The seam that runs under the crotch isn't flat and definitely chafes if you wear them for more than half an hour. A big flaw for a pricey pair of underwear.

These are the best. The way they hug the muscles feels very good and comfortable. I've been using the Expert shorts for a while now, but I would definitely prefer the Pro version. I've been using these shorts alone while backcountry skiing on warm days in May, and running, and they feel great.

This is a little personal when it comes to recommending underware, but these work really well for me. Keeps your junk together and providdes some extra warmth.

Sometimes I teach back-to-back group fitness class, which is why I recommend these shorts for individuals who sweat a lot, because the fabric dries easily.

If you work out a lot, these shorts are for you. The support bands provide badly needed support for the muscle groups in the legs and prevent injury. I have two pair now and am sold on them.

I have been a pro runner for 5 years now and have used every type of sneaker and clothing out on the market. Cost really is not priority to me, performance is. I started using CWX a year after I turned pro and have been in them ever since. The support you get in the hamstring and quad is awesome. The abs and lower back even get some support. Before I started using them, I would really have to be careful of my hams and or quads when running up or down steep hills, as to not pull anything. Now with the support, I am at full speed and have improved my times. For the everyday user they would be ideal to keep injuries and spasms to a min. T-man

great shorts, very supportive in all the right places. I noticed a lot of hamstring support, but also lower back and lower abs. I use them for running, trails, also under my hiking shorts, and tri-training.
