Review on BESTSELLER: BALEAF Compression Running Baselayer with Pockets by Chris Dildine

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Training shorts, yes. COMPRESSION? No!

Being skeptical about online sizing I always read reviews and check other sites selling the same product. In this case, the reviewers seemed pretty firm on the "order your true size" stance. I tried them on last night when they arrived in the mail and upon a quick inspection they were fine. I've decided to wear them home tonight after work while I color my hair. THIS IS NOT COMPRESSION. Lycra sports shorts, of course. But these shorts don't give muscle compression. In fact, they sit pretty freely. so much so that they would have to be worn with underwear to provide support. Also, the side pockets, advertised as a key feature of this brand, are only about 60% deep on my phone. So I can NEVER wear these sneakers and expect my phone to stay in my pocket! When you order from these guys, DEFINITELY LESS! And if you're planning on taking your phone with you for a run, hopefully you've got a '00s Nokia or a Motorola Flip. Otherwise, you have to constantly make sure that your screen is not broken when you drop it.
