Compression is a key training tool for any athlete, and for excellent reasons; compression helps increase circulation for faster muscle warm-up, helps aid in greater performance, and reduces muscle soreness and fatigue. Not all compression gear is made the same, however, and a serious athlete needs serious gear. 2XU is here to answer the call with these Women's Core Compression Shorts. These Compression shorts are designed for both low and high impact training, competition, and recovery needs. Crafted from 2XU's proprietary PWX fabric, these lightweight shorts deliver maximum power and flexibility to provide support to the adductor, glute, quad and hamstring muscles, reduce vibration and enhance alignment. In addition to being good for you, these compression shorts are also incredibly comfortable. A drawstring waistband allows for an adjustable, secure fit, and the flatlock seams reduce chafing for even greater comfort. Breathable and lightweight, yet fully supportive to the major muscles, these tights are an essential piece to any workout kit, no matter if you're an old pro or just starting out. Available in sizes X-Small to X-Large.
