Review on Under Armour Men's HeatGear Armour 2.0 6-inch Compression Shorts – Enhanced Performance and Comfort by Yousef Abood

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not the best UA compression, in short.

ADVANTAGES: Once in place, they don't move (they lift up a bit when you first put them on). Good ventilation of the scrotum, more than the standard short UA. CONS: They rise to about mid-quad. Feel shorter than the average short UA. Extra stitching for lightweight scrotum material adds a little discomfort when you're just walking around. They're great for yoga but not great for walking and good for running (the fact they went up meant they weren't visible under my shorts, which I like). I've worn UA compression shorts since 2005 and have never had to throw out a pair. The new fabric is more comfortable and stretchy, but shrinks less. I doubt how much compression REALLY helps an athlete. As for me, I need something that doesn't ride up and keeps my stuff in place. These are my least favorite pair of UA shorts and I will not be buying this style again.

Pros
  • Men's
Cons
  • Big and chunky
