Made for men, the heavy gauge microfiber Lycra® spandex knit is cut to match the contours of your body and stretch with you as you move while providing elegant support and firm hold. Wearing compression shorts will provide you with better circulation and quick recovery. Our Microfiber is Made from Micro-Fiber soft touch, a man made synthetic fiber engineered by Dupont® where each filament has a controlled thickness that is 15 times finer than human hair. The result is the softest feeling and most breathable compression fabric against your skin. The fabric has an SPF 50 UV protection rating. These compression shorts are lined with cotton in our proprietary design crotch support pouch to absorb perspiration. High quality construction, made with pride in the USA. Sizes 2X-6X have a new higher 2-inch elastic waistband.
