Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

Reasonable price for these sung compressors. I ran 16 miles with none of the usual inner thigh chafing and my quads felt remarkably fresher than they do in regular running shorts. Some loose thread ends on side seam makes me wonder how long they will last but so far so good.

I have been struggling with hamstring issues for a while. These shorts give just the right amount of support in the hamstrings.

good fit. like the rear pocket.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

These are fantastic shorts for running with a smart-phone. The pocket is perfect, and the shorts fit well and work well. It is really a shame that RRS has discontinued this design.

I am a woman who often bought the 5" men's High Speed compression shorts for rugby practice and gym workouts. These are great and if you don't throw them in the dryer, I've had mine (and I wear them alot) for over 4 years. They compress, they are just short enough for under rugby shorts, and they are tough. They wash easily too. I am sad you can no longer get this short in 5"--and I don't see a L anymore in the last of the HiSpeed shorts. RRS--please don't faze out these wonderful shorts!

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

Really like these shorts. I have the 7" and 9" and like the 9" slightly better simply because the leg band feels better lower on my leg. The 7" has the same size opening but since it sits higher on the thigh it is a little tight, but not bad once you start to run. Fabric is heavier than on the SpeedPros and provides a bit more compression, a plus imo. I am 5'11", 158lbs with 30" waist and the smalls fit nicely. I have a med. in the SPeedPro and wish I had gotten a small. Not sure if they are discontinuing this model because sizes and colors are limited and clearance priced. I hope they continue to sell them. They are a great short even at full price. I have only had them a short time so I can't comment on durability, but they do seem well made.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I bought these shorts for three reasons: minimize chafing on runs, replace biking shorts (with the unnecessary pad in the crotch), and for SCUBA diving. The shorts work well for all these purposes. The running and biking uses are obvious, but for SCUBA, I wanted something that would fit comfortably under a dive skin or wet suit. These shorts are great for this. They are comfortable and allow complete freedom of movement. The material is not especially thin, which is good for modesty and durability, but they did not dry any faster than my other more bulky swim wear.

Regarding the fit and length, I ordered a large, and it fit as expected. Some reviews say the longer lengths were a bit long for comfort, so I ordered the medium length (7") to suit my short legs. Based on the fit, which was fine, I could have worn a longer length and am ordering another pair at 9" length.

Fit is great, feels the first time you out them on and great throughout a run.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I use this while running. Under shorts in warmer weather and under long pants in colder weather. Fit and performance is ideal. Comfortable and well made. They are better than the name brands that cost a lot more.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

These are comfortable except for the tight hem at the bottom of each leg. It feels like having a tight rubber band mid-thigh and is unbearable. I'm going to return these and try the 9" version whenever RR re-stocks those.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

Much better fit than the 5" "booty shorts"

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

Small fits me well in the legs, but waist sits very high (almost to belly button) and incredibly tight on top.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

Product fits fine, is comfortable, and the 7 inch length is right for me. I tried the 11 inch too long and hit the back of my knees, I exchanged them for 9 inch versions which was still too long for me. Finally, baby bear 7 inch model is right for me.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I've never been a fan of baggy shorts for working out. These compression shorts are well-constructed, sleek and comfortable. I get full range of motion, and the compression keeps me in touch with my form and movement. This is my favorite piece of gym gear.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I've had 2 prs of these for c. 10 yrs that are beginning to be not so compressive. I bought 2 new pr and still keep the originals for back up. I use them mainly in the gym but do use them occasionally for a mid-season run. They are very durable and snag free around weight machines.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

These are, without a doubt, the most comfortable running shorts I've ever worn for marathons (and I've run 12 marathons to date)! The weather during my recent marathon was a constant light rain, and these shorts felt great the whole way - no rubbing or chaffing (unlike other shorts I've used in the past). Also, the fit was great based on the recommendation from the RR website.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I like these because they are more comfortable for me than regular shorts. For whatever reason, fabric shorts rub my thighs and after a run I get a rash. Compression shorts don't do this, which is why I prefer these to run in.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

The pocket on the left side is great, add one to the right side and I could carry enough gel for a full marathon or long trail race. A great value short.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

During my first run with these, I was ready to order a few more pairs. They fit great, feel great and allow for smooth running without the friction found in normal running shorts. Even the mail carrier was checking me out! The pocket is not visible online but it looks like the state of Nevada and could easily for some cash, a key and a pack of GU without looking like you have a bad case of Bursitis.

Only minor con is I have large, strong quads and the fit is slightly tight which may cause some riding up if they do not break in a bit.

Bottom line: Buy these!

have done 3 plus hr runs and these shorts don't chafe and seem to support hip flexors well with the compression

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

good fit all around, could be a bit more snug in the upper thigh, but still fits great. This is a well made pair of shorts at a great price

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I think these are a really good value. The blue is a navy, not as bright as I thought it showed online. No big deal. The drawstrings like to get pulled through so that one end is now retracted into the waist band area... takes some ingenuity to pull back out. That is my only gripe. They are comfy and well built for the price. Worn them about 10 times so far and only for yoga and some gym cardio work.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

These are my new favorite shorts. They're a bit thicker than others I have and also fit a bit tight, but not so much that I'd size down. I thought I was going to have issues with the size of the side pocket, but I was able to easily stuff my set of keys and two gels in there without feeling them while running.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

Ideal to be wear under a thigh.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I've been running in these for about a month and I have not had any problems with them. They are comfortable and do not bunch up. If I have to do errands after I run I know that they will be dry by the time I get home and I won't have that swampy feeling. The key/card pocket on the side is a great feature and was the reason I went with these over others shorts.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I used these shorts for running under the Road Runner Sports Pro Velocity 3 Split Short. They worked great, did not limit movement and help keep my legs warm.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

My favorite liner for hiking & tennis my legs muscle just feel great.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I'm about comfort, especially on longer double digit mile training runs.
The snug fit and high waist aids in core support.
Noticeable difference in maintaining good form even late into the run.
These shorts tend to hold in a bit more heat. Great on cooler days.
Fabric is of good quality and the flat stitching does not rub or chafe.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

Super for hiking & tennis.

Comments about Mens R-Gear High-Speed Compression 7" Fitted Shorts:

I needed some tights to limit muscle vibration while providing comfort in the hot weather, since my compression shorts were a bit warm. These delivered the goods with the breathable mesh and the price was reasonable.
