CompressionZMen's Compression Pants for Workout, Sports|Base Layer Running Tights Leggings

I am a large man. I have a 52 inch waist. I bought these so I wouldn't look like a complete fool in basketball shorts riding up to my crotch while attempting to exercise in public. Needless to say, the XXXL fit about as well as you would expect, since it has a recommended width of about 38-42 maximum capacity. I managed with some effort, to get them on, ( i have a new respect for people and tight fitting panty hose) and hike them to some degree into a position that seemed slightly dignified. Never mind that the FIRST thing I said when joining a gym was that I was not going to wear yoga pants. These seemed a slightly more testosteronial embellishment, but basically I worked out one time and with no regard for said dignity, said.. " I NEED YOGA PANTS".. and bought them. When I got the teeny tiny package, I was amazed.. Seeing how condoms were able to stretch, brought to mind my current situation. It was the size of a 11 year old's waist, with looong legs. As my ladyqueen watched in utter amusement, I grunted and pulled and rolled until they were on. I will say, YES. I NOW FEEL COMPRESSED. (Though a warning to you large men of stature: If you have previously bought the office chair seat cover from china that is made of the same material, and choose to sit with these pants on, you will SLIDE TF out of the chair like rich silk on a king's bed. BE WARNED.)These pants have compressed me. They have done the job they advertised. I cannot complain about them. Even though I wish I could.

I really like these. I usually wear 3/4 leggings but decided to try these. They are very comfortable. I do wish that they had a thicker waist band. I like the like 2 inch waistband that is normally on leggings and such but these have a smaller one. These are very comfortable and go well with most everything.

Okay, now that I have logged 8 months of workouts (over 100), I am ready to offer my opinion of these compression pants. And my opinion is that I received a lot more quality than I paid for. Initially, they were pretty tight (but not uncomfortably so), but after a few wears, they conformed to my body and fit very well. I wash them in cold water and toss them in to a low dryer, and they are holding up fantastically. No stretching, fading, tearing or loose threads. These are my first foray into compression pants, and I really wish I would have bought them sooner. They keep me warm when it's chilly, and cool when it's hot, and I have enjoyed an increase in both weight and reps in my leg exercises. My ONLY (minor) quibble with these pants is in the colors. The black is not really black, but rather a very dark gray, and the white is kind off-white instead of white-white. I contacted the company about the black, and they suggested the dye lot was off and offered me another pair for free. I wasn't trying to get a freebie, and I told them as much, but they were insistent. Unfortunately, the new pair they sent was the exact same dark gray that I had, so, apparently, that's just what their 'black' looks like. However, I can live just fine with the slightly off colors with such awesome customer service.

My husband loves these. I'm obsessed with my leggings and wear them every time we do something active or hike. So he decided to try them out for himself. The minute he finished his first run in them he was like "oh my god, I GET THE LEGGINGS OBSESSION." They suck you in, hold everything still, eliminate all chafing, and are comfy as hell. He wears them under his shorts whenever he works out, runs, or goes hiking. And his legs look great in them (these are the important things). They've held up fantastically thus far!

That it keeps everything in TAC

First off, these are compression clothes, if you aren’t reasonably fit for your height, BMI, then you may have a tough time getting into & out of them, especially the shirt. Consider a larger size. Overall the quality & fit is excellent. I was a little concerned that at the price point that they would not offer the compression that I was after, but that concern was unfounded.The cut, seams and fit are excellent with no binding, chafing or creeping after extended wear & vigorous activity. The shirt has a grip coating inside the bottom hem. It will stay in place on your skin or probably some other material but it doesn’t grip well to the matching bottoms. Not a problem as it will end up at your belt line and stay there. The shirt is cut long, around 4”-6” below your belt line. The breathability is exceptional, any better and you’ve have to run naked. Actually these are better than naked because they evaporate the sweat instead of it pouring off your body. If you are running or working out in front of a fan, you can feel the air against your bare skin. I’ve run several 5K’s in typical Florida heat, in both the shorts, & full length pants and of course the shirt. I opt for the long pants as they provide support for my calves and they are actually cooler due to the improved sweat evaporation than just the shorts. I’m considering going with the long sleeve shirt for the same reason.Running solitary, I wouldn’t worry too much about modesty, the bottoms do a good job keeping everything in place and smoothed. If you run an event or work out around other people, then you might want to wear some running shorts. Be sure to find the lightest, thinest, no liner, side cut shorts that you can, anything worn over (or under) will feel hot. Same if you decide to wear something over the shirt. My first time out, I wore a t-shirt which was a mistake. I won’t wear anything but the CompressionZ layer unless I need the shorts for modesty.I didn’t know quite what to expect in the way of performance but afterwards it was immediately apparent. Since I mainly wear these while running, keeping your muscles supported & keeping them from jarring/moving/flopping when they relax while your feet pound the pavement makes a tremendous difference in recovery afterwards. This was most evident in my calves. With my calve muscles slamming with each step, they’d ache for days afterwards. Keeping them supported prevents that pain and I can easily run consecutive days. The same is true for your pects, oblique back muscles, glutes etc.Overall, I’m very pleased wth the product, a few more color selections would be really nice. Since I work out every day, I reordered several more sets to get me between washings. A great value in compression wear.

These worked perfect for my Hombre de Agua costume. My measurements are 6' 185 lbs 34" waist 32" inseam and I bought a Large green. Definitely pick up a soft cup for protection (shock doctor aircore).

The compression is way tighter than Roadbox brand. Feels good running. I do not like the unibutt look you get with these though. Also, in white, whatever underwear you wear WILL be seen.

I ordered a large for my 35 inch waist but I could not even get them on my legs they were so tight. The waistband was so small I could see that they would not be wearable even if I had been able to pull them up. I expected them to be snug like compression stockings that you wear on long air flights. However, they were much, much tighter and would have cut off the circulation to my legs. If I could have got them on they would have been unbearable so I returned them which cost me £3.99. Waste of money.

Some posts say they are too tight but they are compression leggings. I'm 6ft with 35-36" waist and they fit me perfectly. They are tight but that to me aids performance when running/jogging. They look great on, the quality is great and the fabric is quality, not like some cheap, thin ones that you can buy. I would definitely buy these again.

Bought L size. Farr, far too tight. My 12 year old son had a problem putting them on. Dont waste your money

Excellent quality product fit really well comfortable

They are very good tights but mine were delivered with a small rip on the back of the left leg
