What is Compression?

The result of compression is an increase in blood flow, through this simple attribute 2XU compression garments can deliver a greater oxygen supply to the muscles in a shorter space of time. The encapsulating fit also eliminates vibration feedback, adding up to a garment that delays the onset of fatigue and lactic acid build up through increased blood flow, yielding improved performance, protection against injury and improved recovery. If you're looking to evolve your training, compression gear is the next step and 2XU have got your covered.

The 2XU Elite MCS Compression Running Shorts

The next generation in 2XU Compression technology - MCS (Muscle Containment Stamping) for targeted compression. MCS is a revolutionary fabric support system traced over key muscle, tendon and fascia groups to focus greater compression power to wrap precise areas and reduce muscle oscillation and damage.

Front panels are engineered with powerful PWX FLEX (70D) fabric combined with MCS focused to the quads. Rear panels are engineered with powerful PWX WEIGHT (105D) fabric for support to the hamstrings. The Elite MCS Compression Short offers unparalleled power and protection against muscle trauma during intense activity.

The 2XU Compression Shorts will reduce muscle damage by limiting vibration when running. The PWX fabric will improve the flow of oxygenated blood to the muscles of the upper leg whilst also improving alignment, both of these help to improve performance and reduce muscle damage and fatigue.
