Don't just run after your dreams, chase them down in the high-performance 2XU® MCS Run Compression Shorts. Graduated compression increases blood flow and minimizes lactic acid buildup resulting in reduced muscle swelling, faster repair, and diminished soreness. Compression support to upper leg with:• PWX Flex® 70D front panels delivers 360° stretch and greater flexibility.• PWX Weight® 105D back panels provide increased muscle support. MCS mapping targets the quadriceps and calves to help reduce strain and muscle soreness. Thigh/quadriceps mapping reduces impact and dissipates the load transfer on the knee joint. Calf/gastrocnemius mapping reduces muscle strain, especially during the toe phase of running, and reduced oscillation of the calf muscles. Moisture-wicking properties move perspiration from the skin to the fabric surface for rapid evaporation. Elastic waistband with Powermesh support that slims and trims for a comfortable, flattering fit. Three-pocket design:• Large media pocket;• Zippered stash pocket for keys and cards;• Mesh pocket for gels and other essentials. Flatlock seams reduce chafing and increase comfort. Polygiene® antibacterial application repels odor and inhibits bacterial growth for prolonged freshness. UPF 50 fabrication protects your skin during outdoor activity by blocking harmful Ultraviolet A and Ultraviolet B rays (UVA and UVB). Reflective brand markings for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions.
