2XU Men's MCS Run Compression Shorts

I'm 53 and the chart clearly has me in a medium. For some reason the first pair I bought was a large and I really like them. I needed a second pair so I got a medium as the chart showed. They are uncomfortably tight. NO, I'M NOT FAT (my wife confirmed it when I asked her). Us 50+ guys just are not shaped like the 25yr olds for the most part. I run and race the Spartan obstacle races and these compression shorts seem to help with exhaustion and definitely with delayed onset muscle soreness.

I'll start with the positives - love the compression. I've done two 50k Ultras and one Marathon in these and felt they helped a lot with support, limiting fatigue, and anti chafe. However, very disappointed to find that after only 3 races and owning them for 3 months, the seam on the upper inner thigh has unraveled (see pic). For the price, I was hoping these would be more durable and last for a few more races and long(er) training runs - very disappointed. Not sure if this was a defective piece but hoping I could reach out to 2XU for a refund or replacement.

Amazing compression shorts! Multiple days of 9+ hours of running and no chafing. While Nike and UA make great 'compression shorts', they are not comparable products to these shorts from 2XU. I have shorts from all three brands and they are not even remotely the same product as these 2XU shorts.I used the fit guide on the 2XU site and these fit as expected, purchased a second pair and the fit was consistent.No quality compression shorts are cheap, but they are worth very little if they do not meet expectations. If I need to purchase an additional pair I will definitely be purchasing this same model from 2XUI am 5'9", 190lbs, size large is perfect for my long runs.

I use these for ice hockey and for working out. Have noticed significant relief from build up of lactic acid in my muscles since starting to wear these. Highly recommend them to any athlete. Recovery is so much quicker. Less need of rolling out my muscles with a roller bar. Fit is snug, as they should be. Not restricting in any way. I have used 2XU brand for many years and have only had one seam fray after a couple of years, otherwise they hold up really well. I also use the pants and tops with same positive results.

The product is great as far as the description and what it does For helping your muscles while you walk run bike whatever. the only problem is there’s no pouch in the front for the men. even though they are mens shorts, it’s completely flat in front like women’s shorts and presses certain parts of a man. And makes it very uncomfortable. I thought there would be some sort of pouch like 99% of all men’s underwear or compression shorts to make it more comfortable. My husband said they were extremely uncomfortable in the private area and we actually cut the crotch out and he’ll just wear his underwear over them because he couldn’t deal with the pain.

I am in between L & XL the Large were snug but the XL's were somewhat loose. They Seams on the inner thigh failed in about 1 months worth of use. I bought 2XU several years ago and they lasted over 1 year before the seams failed but this newest pair failed within 1 month. I contacted 2XU customer service and the 2XU customer service was deplorable to deal with. I do like the product but the company customer service gives them a failing mark when trying to deal w/ a product and warranty. After complaining about the failed seams and poor customer service on social media, it was handled by their social media people more appropriately but in the end, the same result was frustration and overall disappointment in the company.

I got the medium size and the fit was great, I am 5'9" 150 lbs. Went for an hour run in very hot weather and the shorts felt great for about 30 minutes. Once I got really hot and sweaty though, I began to notice some rubbing where the seams meet in the crotch area. Before I was finished, I was majorly chafed and it has lasted for a while. I loved the compression feel of the shorts and if the seams do not bother you, I would highly recommend these, but for me they just will not work and I returned the shorts. I could probably wear something under them to mitigate the problem, but that defeats the purpose of the shorts to me. I was really bummed they didn't work out.

I wish I bought compression shorts like these sooner. I run Ironman races and marathons. I recently started having an issue with chafing so I looked to these as a solution. Did a 25 mile run in these shortly after I got them. With a little Chamois Butt’R and these shorts I had zero chaffing afterwards. Less muscle fatigue too due to the compression- noticeable improvement in times. Expensive, yes (4 stars only due to price). Buy em anyway. They’ll change your run.

I switched to these a few weeks ago, after years of using baggy shorts, and they seem to reduce post-run leg muscle aches and pains–particularly if I keep them on for a few hours post run–so that means more miles sooner. I'm not convinced that the compression helps in any other way while running, but faster recovery means more miles sooner and so is good for improving performance.They seem to be well manufactured, but I think they're somewhat overpriced for what they are.

The 2XU compression running shorts seemed initially very good quality and well made. That is until I discovered the stitching gave out two days after the Amazon returns period closed 😩Overall, I was very happy with my pair and wore them about once a week on average for a run or cardio session. They became my preferred running pair in the four or five pairs I had in rotation.And then, stitching failure related trashed: Picking them up to fold them up this last weekend I noticed the stitching in the crotch had given way to leave a 4cm ish gap where two panels had come apart. In searching to flag the defect and discuss getting it repaired/replaced I noticed the returns period had ended two days before (sigh) so I’m leaving a review instead.I’m happy to discuss replacement due to defect if there is an Avenue to do so (please reach out benevolent Amazon overlords) but if your a customer keep an eye on the seems and when your return period ends!If you want to give them a go — and to be clear they were initially great — check out the size guide closely. I followed the size guide and they fit a little tighter than my other pairs of compression shorts — but that’s the point right?Unless you’re after a very snug fit I’d recommend potentially going up a size if you’re on the edge of sizing and in possession of muscled thighs like mine.That’s my 2c anyway.For clarity: mr Amazon man, hit me up with defect options and let’s put a bit more of a positive spin on this review 🙂

IL prodotto è sicuramente di buona qualità. ottimo tessuto cuciture, struttura. Un po difficile per me azzeccare la taglia. 1.75m per 69/70 kg, ho una M per la Xbionic, di questi ho provato una S ed una M secondo la tabella ed i consigli del produttore, ma li trovo estrememente stretti confrontati con gli altri e li ho restituiti. Magari è solo una mia sensazione. la qualità comunque non è in discussione.

Da quando ho conosciuto il marchio 2XU non riesco a farne meno,rispetto ad un modello che avevo già, questi non hanno il laccio in vita, ma hanno la comoda tasca con cerniera posteriormente

Fits perfectly. Happy with the product. Would recommend it. Bought it for my son who is very active and have been using compression shorts for a few years now and these are one of the best he's tried yet. They are very comfortable.
