Medium for me is little tight. (I am 33 inch waist, 160 lbs 5'9") Very nice workout pants
this is a premium product and does deliver as promised. The shorts are made so good they seem like the shorts will last forever. Compression is also good - no complaints here.
Nice produce. I ran a 50 miler in them and they were great. Nice amount of compression, fitting but not restricting.
I measured out as a large on the waist and medium on the hips, so I bought the large. It was a good fit. I am 5'9.5 and 158lbs.
Did take a gamble on these, with no prior knowledge of Bioskin. I had terrible chaffing with my normal running shorts after my final 30 miler in training so I bought these in the days leading up to my race. I wore them almost continually to break them in and make sure that they would work for 8 hours. Cannot talk about how long they will last, I have probably only put 70-80 miles in them.
They do come up quite high. Took a while to make sure everything was where it was meant to be.
They do feel different to other compression wear that I own. A matt finish and feel, not shiny or smooth. I wear them without anything on top and they are modest enough. Was concerned with the potential moving of the striping on the leg causing chaffing, so I body glide the inside but so far it has not been an issue.
Finished the 50 miler in just over 7:30 and had no issues with my quads or hammies; not sure how much I can credit the shorts for that.
I don't usually write reviews, but since these running compression shorts had no reviews I thought I would give it a go. Also, this review is totally my own and I received no coaching/incentive for it.
I do a lot of running, and while these are a bit on the expensive side, they are well worth the price. For years I have worn primarily Under Armour compression shorts and a few other brands. I decided to try BioSkin's after having a good experience with another of their products. In comparison, the first thing I noticed was BioSkin's shorts have more structure to the weave than any other compression shorts I have used. I like this because while other compression shorts have compression, most of them supply it almost entirely via inwoven elastomers. Conversely, BioSkin integrates weave rigidity along with elastomeric material -- at least on these particular compression shorts. For instance, I found the structure prevents any ride-up and shifting of the compression shorts during extended use, and the elastic quality ensures everywhere is under compression. To me, this makes a big difference in user experience. Additionally, the fabric is thick and rigid enough that I can wear them on their own without feeling exposed
The only drawback I've encountered is when I run with both my keys and phone in the pocket, the back pulls down slightly after a while. This can be prevented using the drawstring (which I initially thought was superfluous) and is most likely because I am on the slim side of medium.
Really wonderful garment! Thank you!

I run roads (70-90 miles/week) at a decent clip and this is my new favorite piece of gear. Great fit, amazing support, and ZERO rubbing or chaffing. I love the look too - those blue lines!
They are a little revealing, but it's not terribly noticeable, unless you're close and staring straight at "it". I probably won't bother wearing underwear with them.
Great product - Thank you!
