2XU - MCS Compression 1/2 Short - Men's - AW17

Tight fitting compression shorts that act as a base-layer to provide targeted support to key muscles.

The MCS Range:

Labelled the 'next generation in compression', 2XU's MCS apparel range boasts the very latest in compression technology with each product specifically developed for a particular sport. MCS stands for 'Muscle Containment Stamping', technology that supports key muscles and reduces the stress of repetitive impact.

2XU have taken into account the muscle groups that each activity uses and designed garments that provide precisely targeted compression to these particular muscles, fascia and joints.

The Product:

2XU's MCS Compression 1/2 Shorts are some of the most advanced compression shorts on the market. They have been designed to support you during periods of long distance exercise as well as short bursts of intense running. The MCS compression provides anatomically mapped muscle support to the muscles that are required for these movements. 2XU's premium PWX compression fabric has been specifically engineered to offer unparalleled power, weight and flexibility in accordance to the needs of the wearer.

These 1/2 shorts utilise a combination of 70 Denier PWX FLEX for the front panels and 105 Denier PWX WEIGHT for the back panels to provide precise compression to the abductors and quads, and glutes and hamstrings, respectively.

The PWX material used in these shorts offers a high power denier of support to the key leg muscles and joints. The graduated compressive fit increases blood flow and contains your leg muscles to help enhance your performance. The moisture-wicking material will also help keep you dry, whilst its antibacterial properties will prevent the build up of odour-causing bacteria.

Key Features:

HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS - 2XU's compression fabrics have been used to help support the key leg muscles. Made with high quality INVISTA LYCRA, the shorts contain high grade elastomeric yarns and a circular knit structure to allow for excellent stretch and flexibility.
COMPRESSION - a graduated fit promotes circulation of the blood in your legs for enhanced muscle performance and a faster recovery. The shorts are designed with PWX Flex 70D to the front panels and PWX Weight 105D to the back panels for ultimate muscle protection.
MCS MAPPING - targeted compression helps to reduce strain and muscle soreness.
ANTI-CHAFE - flatlock seams reduce chafing and a drawstring waistband provides a secure fit.
DRY - the high filament material wicks sweat away quickly from the shorts' exterior.
ANTIBACTERIAL - the shorts' antibacterial qualities prevent the bacteria build up that leads to bad odour.
SUN PROTECTION - 2XU's fabric offers UPF50+ sun protection.
