2XU Men's Core Compression Tights - Enhances Performance & Recovery

Love how tight these fit, really good compression support. I like them on the small side for max support, not loose. To me, these TR2 are not quite as compressive as the MCS or Hyoptik, but still they are much better than many others I’ve tried. They’re really comfortable. I wear them while running on a treadmill at the gym, typically 2 to 5 miles per session. I’ve noticed increased endurance since starting to wear compression pants (not just running tights)... I run faster speeds for a longer time while running as compared to not wearing compression when running. Additionally I will wear them to help with recovery after a run, or sometimes to sleep in or under my regular pants if I’m feeling sore the next day after running. At 46 years old, reduced recovery time is an important factor that helps me to run more frequently with less aches and pains. The first few times I put true compression pants on, it took me a little extra time trying to figure out how to get them all the way on because they’re so tight. Eventually I learned a few tricks to make it easier (notice I didn’t say easy). But they’re worth an extra minute to put them on, as with all good compression pants. Besides 2XU brand, I have numerous styles of compression pants including Virus, CW-X, Nike, PRS, and Compressionz. These 2XU TR2 are one of my favorites due to how much support they give. Other favs are 2XU MCS, 2XU Hyoptik, Virus CO29 and also the relatively unknown PRS brand compression pants. All of these offer really good compression support and I wear them all regularly. I don’t size up on any of these and wear a size small in all of them for max support. I’m relatively slender and have a somewhat naturally fit build, not overly muscular, but not a stick figure either... @ 5’7, 157lbs, I typically wear 30-32 pants and I’m wearing a size small in these 2XU TR2 compression pants. Some might feel they are too small. But again, I prefer much compression. You may prefer to size up a bit.

Great product!

I typically wait until I've worn something a few times to write reviews, but these tights require that I break that rule. The fit on these is spot on. I typically wear large underwear so I went up one size, which is common for compression gear. These fit better than the 2XU ICE tights. They come up to the waist nicely, and the seat is more roomy (no plubmber's crack). The waist band has a soft feel, and there is a draw chord to help secure them. You do get a little pressed in the crotch but with some adjustment you can find a comfy spot for your man parts. From a performance perspective, the compression is just right especially in the knee area. You get that sense of support expected from compression gear so you feel more secure doing big movements or running a bit faster. Finally, the special design of the logo is nice. I wasn't excited about yet another pair of black tights, but these have beautiful artwork. I'll probably hand wash them so it last as long as possible.

Graduated compression: that's the secret to 2XU. As an ultra-marathon runner, these have been my go-to pants for cold weather runs for the past 8 years. I've tried the thermal compression, the MCS and now the core compression, and I find the "core" model the best of the bunch. They have the right amount of stretch & fit, and they provide the perfect amount of support to my muscles that keeps me running injury free in the winter months. These can be expensive when not on sale, but I keep a watchful eye out for price drops, especially in the summer, and each year I can get myself a couple of pairs around $60 each. If you're on the fence about trying these, do it. You won't be disappointed.

expensive but good compression and they look/feel nice. The ties up top are a little awkward but they do help keep the pants up nicely.

Tried these because I need medical compression pants. Most athletic compression tights do not have mm rating, but these are listed as 20-23mm of compression. They are fantastic. They fit great, feel comfortable, and clearly look and feel like workout tights and made from Lycra. No need to wear something over them. I would order whatever size you normally wear for fit. I expect them last a long time.

Material is fine. They fit me but they’re awful tight on other compression compared to the other ones. I’ve bought in the past from different companies. They have no side pockets to put your phone. Your earbuds in that was a big disappointment. I thought I read that did have side pockets figure something out

Nice and tight excellent compression.will be buying more

Highly recommended for swim and runs

Really good price compared to 2XU online shop, comfy and excellent compression. Really worked after my long runs legs felt refreshed and not achy like they usually do.

I purchased Medium Tall, I'm 180cm, 80 Kg, they fit perfect. These are compression tights, they take some work to get on properly but it gets easier to get them on the more you wear them, not because they stretch, because of proper technique (see below). They have a snug ankle cuff that keeps them from riding up. The tie on the waistband keeps them from slipping down. If you have trouble getting them pulled up I suggest a pair of compression donning gloves (ribbed rubber gloves). Use gloves to slide and work the tights up your legs, it works great and they stay in place. The material wicks sweat away from your skin and evaporates quickly. I hand wash and hang them to dry and they easily dry overnight. After over a month of daily use they seem to be standing up well.

Si vous cherchez de la compression, vous serez servi ! J'ai d'autres collant de compression mais c'est avec celui là que je le ressens le plus Je n'ai mis que 4 étoile parce que je ne sais pas si c'est parce que j'ai pris trop petit (S) ou si j'ai pris des fesses (pas en muscle..) mais il a tendance a descendre donc pas agréable. 2XU est une bonne marque en matière de compression, j'ai aussi un short mi cuisse donc je n'arrive pas à trouver l'équivalent

C'est mon deuxième et il est toujours aussi bien. Le support me semble juste peu plus léger (serre moins) et j'ai pourtant la bonne taille. Comme si le tissage était plus fin. Mais il est agréable à porter, les performances sont tout de suite meilleures tout en permettant une récupération plus rapide. J'adore (sauf le prix... mais il faut bien ça pour la qualité)
