Frequently asked questions
Which fabric should I choose?
Original (82% nylon / 18% spandex) is smooth and cool. Polyester Pocket Pro (73% polyester / 27% spandex) adds side pockets and a fabric made to help reduce odor. Tech Elite (90% polyester / 10% spandex) is a breathable knit for hot days.
What inseam is right for me?
We make 6", 7", 8" and 9" inseams. Shorter inseams feel freer; longer ones cover more of the thigh and work better as a base layer under shorts.
Can I wear them under shorts or pants?
Yes. They’re made to work as a base layer under running shorts, gym shorts or even jeans.
Should I size up or down?
Compression should feel snug. Order your usual size for firm support, or size up for a more relaxed feel.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash cold and hang dry. Skip fabric softener, the dryer and the iron to protect the spandex.
What if they don’t fit?
You have 30 days to return or exchange. If you just need a different size, we’ll ship the replacement at no extra shipping cost.
