Review on πŸ‘– Optimized for SEO: adidas Men's Alphaskin Sport Short Tights by Darin Schaffer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Useful but definitely has issues

I bought these to wear to a theatrical production where I needed an "undergarment" so I could blend into mixed company, without flaunting myself in front of anyone . There are a few issues with these shorts. First, they have fairly low mileage. I usually wear a 38 waist so I went for XL and they barely fit although XL should be for a 40-42 waist. All my Under Armor and Nike compression shorts are XL and fit great. Second, I needed all white so they wouldn't show up under my white dress pants, and they came with a huge gray Adidas logo on the front left leg, which isn't listed. I ended up putting white tape over the logo to hide it so it wouldn't show through my dress pants. After all, these shorts barely cover the male anatomy. I had to wear boxer shorts over it because they were so tight they left nothing to the imagination making using them as underwear pointless. I continue to use them (under gym shorts) for running, but then again I wouldn't wear them in public without something over them.

Pros
  • Compression forms for body support
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
