2XU Compression is the new standard in high performance compression wear. If you’re serious about getting the best compression performance on the market then make the leap to 2XU. Approved by the Australian Institute of sport. Utilising their exclusive 50D/CK fabric they have combined a 50 denier Lycra together with a revolutionary circular knit high gauge construction, which provides the most compressive fabric on the market. The main benefits of the shorts is to aid bloodflow towards the heart and also give extra support to the quadriceps, hamstring and posterior thigh muscle groups. They have revolutionized the fit to give equal support so the fabric can compress the whole region of the upper legs. The short can be worn under regular shorts and protects a key area of over use and repetitive stress. 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 optimized and stays optimized, 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. Sizing Chart:
