The main benefits of this compression short is to aid blood-flow towards the heart and also give extra support to the quadriceps, hamstring and posterior thigh muscle groups.

We have revolutionized the fit to give equal support so the fabric can compress the whole region of the upper legs - a key area of overuse and repetitive stress injury.

Features:

• Circular Knit
  Circular Knit is the most suitable knit structure for Compression wear with a 360 degree stretch/stretch compression. Exclusive to 2XU.
• 50 Denier High Power Yarn
  2XU uses 50 Denier Lycra, compared with 30/40 Denier used by their competitors. Denier represents the thickness of the yarn. A thicker yarn delivers a stronger compressive power.
• Accelerated Circulation, Graduated Compression
  A graduated compression fit ensures that your blood flow is optimised and stays optimised, removing waste by-products in the process. This ensures you can perform longer with less fatigue.
• 4X Directional Stretch
  The Circular Knit process gives 4 way / 360 degree stretch/compression compared with the limited directional stretch obtained with the traditional tricot knit process.
• 2X Compressive Power
  Our High 50 Denier fabric rating provides compression performance you can feel.
• 4X Durability
  Prime Lycra by Dupont has 4 times the durability compared to Asian sourced elastane (such as Roica as used by some competitors). This ensures your garment maintains its compressive properties over time.

The 2XU Compression advantage:

• Superior Fabric
  With circular knit technology for equal 360 degree stretch, anti-microbial treatment and highly durable 50 Denier Lycra Prime Yarn. Compresses stronger and lasts longer.
• Improved Recovery
  Therapeutic rated fabric provides greater pressure and recovery benefit leading to faster muscle repair.
• Improved Circulation
  Faster warm up and improved oxygen circulation. Encourage blood to the muscles and flush by-products away.
• Reduced Fatigue
  Reduced muscle vibration (linked to muscle fatigue) thereby improving muscle endurance and strength.
• Reduced Damage
  2XU muscle containment can reduce soft tissue damage in contact and intense sports. Preventative support and aided recovery.
• Heightened Proprioception
  Heightened body position sense for enhanced stability and agility.
