2XU Men's Force Compression Tights - High Performance, Reduced Muscle Movement

Can't say enough hood things about there product (2XU). I use these manily for hiking, however lately, I have been using them for 2 hours and 30 min of cardio. Every day that I am off, I work out, and this is what I wear to the gym or trail head. I have had them for a few months now, and love using them. Whether at the gym for 4 hours or on the trail for over 10 hours they hold up great. They have never once stunk, even after a 13 hour day of use, i wore them the next day, and theyvstilm didnt smell. I haven't gotten a sunburn, and they aide you to push out big miles days. The larger waist band doesn't wrap over itself downward, and isn't overly snug. They have kept their shape over 100's of uses and washes. I have accidently put them in the dryer, and nothing happened to them. Thank God!!! The MCS actually works. I thought it was just a gimmick, but I was wrong. I can do a lot more hiking with them, than without. Moreover, my legs are not as soar the next day. I just purchased another set so I don't have to wash them daily.

Compression gear works, that is the most important thing to know.. i have been wearing tights, now known as compression pants for YEARS, since about 1974.. for the last 20 years pretty much all waking hours.. i use a base layer of hanes alive which adds compression and makes pulling these over feet, calfs and thighs possible.. i dislike the reflective "decoration" and really dislike the new waist band with 2XU emblazoned thereon.. i only use black and several years ago i came across ads for 2XU tights aimed at military/police users and finally bought them all from amazon & botach.. next year i turn 89 and ride a bike daily to retain my lung capacity and cardio systems as healthy as possible.. too bad 2XU surrenders to the marketing people, all I want is black with no 2XU decorations whether reflective or not.. my knees are not what they were a few years ago and i feel the compression helps there, too.. someplace on this thinkpad laptop or my iphones i have a picture of myself and when i find it i'll edit this to add to show what decent genes and healthy living have done, so far.. :-)

Great compression tights

Updated review: 2nd pair, same issue. One bad pair is an accident/two bad pairs is unacceptable. I take great care of all of my gear. This is not a user issue. Positive: Great product that positively impacted my workouts (2x snowboarding) 2-3x in gym for an hour workout. These absolutely contribute to better workouts and better recoveries. (Update have used 2 pair for 10+ workouts total.) I'd love them if they didn't fall apart. after 5-6 workouts. Negative: Nothing, and especially nothing this expensive, should be falling apart after 4-5 uses. I've ordered a replacement and sincerely hope they last more than 5 uses. (Update: replacement fail! Same issue.) I wear a medium, I workout 4-5 hours per week, I am reasonably lean at 15-16% BF - this is not a size issue. This is a quality issue.

Perfect. Provide compression for muscle support. I wear these playing ice hockey. Sizing was spot on.

These compression pants are okay. They do provide some compression. However, they don’t stay up, constantly sliding down off the hips. I guess I could size up, but then the compression would be essentially gone.

I was recommended these by avid people who train often. I’ve owned other name brand like products and these definitely felt better over all. I’m slowly replacing my other ones with 2XU MCS ones. I just wish they built some specifically for men. Still not a deal breaker and would buy again.

Have been a longtime 2XU customer but was disappointed with these compression tights. They came apart at the seams within 6 months of purchase under light use (1-2 a week at most). Have been trying to get in touch with customer service for a replacement under the warranty but have not heard back.
