Review on ๐Ÿ€ Enhanced Performance Under Armour Basketball Compression Shorts with Pads by Brent Shaeffer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Superbly padded compression shorts with great support

These compression shorts from Under Armor are impressive. I've had several different compression shorts/pants over the past 3-4 years but this is my first pair of padded ones and I can say without a doubt they've already become my favorite pair. I play flag football every weekend, last weekend too. I tried these compression shorts. I usually have a waist size of 30 or 31 so I ordered this pair medium. This is definitely the right size for me. These shorts offered more than enough compression and support and I had no issues with any seams ripping or material stretching. The padding is a tough memory foam material and I think it really helped soften the impact of other players' kicks or hands when they hit my flags. As you can see in one of my photos, the padding is not only on the thighs but also on the tailbone, which seems pretty important since you often fall on your butt on the jump ball. The elastic at the waist is tight and stretchy and seems like it should hold its shape over many uses. There didn't seem to be any specific washing instructions and they washed great. I took them out of the dryer a little early and let them air dry. This can help with the longevity and longevity of these shorts, but I can only do this after a few uses. All in all, these compression shorts are ideal if you play contact sports or even run short distances.

Pros
  • Nice to wear
