Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I wear them for all my workouts. They feel great. Flat seems are great for guys with muscular legs that want to avoid chaffing.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I love these shorts for my longer runs of 8 to 13 miles. the lenght and compression are just what I need. No problem with any chafing. sounds like some of the other reviewers should have tried their gear out on a short run for the first time rather than going long or doing a race.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I second the tightness at the bottom of the short, but that really shouldn't discourage anyone from trying them out. The 9" seems to be just the right length for me (5'11") and the compression makes a noticeably positive difference.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

terrible shorts. I used these for a 50k mountain race-terrapin mtn. 50k in va. After 9 miles the "boys" were rubbed raw from the seams . luckily I had a real long second shirt i could use to protect the boys.

Great running tights. Feels good during the run, has good moisture control, and is great for running in warm weather. I use almost only tights for running, as I am very sensitive to skin chafing, and I find this product to be perhaps the best I used yet - definitely the best bang for buck.

I have several pair of these shorts and wear them for most workouts; running, spinning, yoga,and pilatres

I have been looking for something different then your typical running short. I do a lot of cycling and find my cycle shorts to be very comfortable, these are just like them without the padding.

Went on a 2 hour trail run today. No problems such as chafing.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I bought my fist pair of RRS Compression shorts roughly ten years ago (in my marathon years). These new shorts are great; I couldn't believe the improvements they made; and I can still run in my originals if I want to. That's quality!

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I really a a fan of the fit of the shorts. I recently moved from cycling to running so I was very use to the form fitting shorts never quite cared for standard athletic shorts. Decided to give the shorts a shot and love them.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I wear compression shorts to reduce friction when I run and in the past I have used other brand names that offered little support and were so thin they tore after only a few wears, these are high quality very supportive and a great fit for a decent price, I liked them so much I went back for second pair, they can be used all around if you want to for swimming and biking as well although I only used them for running

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

Good quality shorts. I would have given 5 stars, but I tend to get some chafing in the groin area where the crotch panel seams meet. Body glide helps quite a bit unless I forget or don't have it. After 6 miles, it's chafe city.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

Perfect for those of us who worry about chaffing between the thighs.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

Excellent value; compares well to more expensive compression shorts; I like the color choice.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

Like the key pocket on the exterior.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I got these mainly to stop chafing; these shorts have stopped all chafing and have helped with muscle fatigue. I have ran two 10 milers in the last week and a few shorter runs with them and I will be buying a few more pairs. Great investment for the price.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I purchased three pairs of theese shorts and rotate them at the gym Mon Wed and Fri and use a pair over my cycling shorts for added support on weekend rides. I am very pleased with their performance. Thank You Road Runner Sports!

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I love these. They are very comfortable. I run with them under regular running shorts.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I've done two 10 milers in these shorts and several shorter runs, and haven't had any problems. No chafing or rubbing at all. I am 6'4" and these shorts are long enough for me, which is rare. I highly recommend these shorts!

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

This was the first pair of compression shorts I tried and they fit and feel great. You get the benefits from compression on your hamstrings without getting overheated on warmer days. The bottom of the leg openings are snug without being too tight. The waistband is comfortable and they wick moisture very well.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I love these shorts. They have been very helpful with keeping the muscles loose enabling me to avoid the reoccuring muscle pulls in my hamstring.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

Good value compression, ideal for training. I too like the 9" length. Jim - why would you wear new gear on a 50km race? Painful way to learn a basic lesson.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

Pretty good short. A little tight at the bottom of the legs, but otherwise quite comfortable for short or long runs. Just did a 13 miler and a 14 miler and found the shorts to do their job well.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

One of the best compression shorts out there - provides a great fit, support, ventilation through the mesh, and a convenient side pocket.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I bought 2 pairs of these because I like tight shorts. I like them for extra warmth and the compression for a nagging hamstring strain. They fit really well and the mesh side pocket was more accomodating tnan I expected. On my long runs, I rely on these shorts for comfort and support.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

These are very comfortable. The mesh side is not see-through but helps keep you cool.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I bought the 2XL - and they really are 2XL, so they're just a tad big. I use them for the elliptical, and they are perfect for that. Very comfortable.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

I purchased for support on long ultra runs. The description doesn't tell of an added piece of fabric in the crotch its the same piece although a bit smaller in the RRS 2 in 1 short . this has caused chafing in the 2 in 1 not sure yet in this short. But this short has thin fabric good for shorter runs in warm weather . not supporting enough for long runs . I think they will be fine for summer tempo runs and should hold up nice. will not wear in ultras though.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

These are just as good a quality compression short as any other name brand but at a more reasonable price.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 9" Fitted Shorts:

These are good running tights (shorts), but are not great true compression shorts. If you are looking for a running tight/short to prevent chaffing and for a little support these are great. If you want real compression, they are not quite compressive enough.
This being said the fit is really good and comfortable. The only thing I would like to see improved is the pocket. The pocket on the left hip is great and fits a phone/ipod tightly without bouncing, but there is no pocket on the right. That's the only problem.
