Best Cycling Compression Shorts for Men of 2025

"I really, really like these shorts. They fit and feel great, and for me, the waist rises higher than others I've tried. They stay up, which is critical. The inseam length is longer than advertised, but I'm okay with that because of the fit. I won’t order combos that include gray, as it was a poor fit for me."

"I’m a fan of spandex-type compression shorts. These Neleus shorts lasted me five years through daily wear and washing. They kept their shape and support, even surviving a car wreck. I highly recommend buying them; you won’t be disappointed!"

"I've bought a pack of these several times. They are comfortable and reliable for long walks and golfing. They last a good 2-3 years, and I appreciate how easy they are to replace when needed."

"I originally purchased these shorts in an emergency when I forgot my bike shorts on a trip. After trying various pairs, I realized these offered the best comfort, fit, and function. I bought another pair and they were the same great quality. The padding is just right for me."

"I decided to try these shorts as an upgrade from my older Louis Garneau gel shorts. The quality is excellent, fitting perfectly as per the sizing. While the legs are a bit longer than my other shorts, they feel great and comfortable even on medium rides. However, I did notice the foam padding is not as comfortable for longer, harder rides compared to gel."

"As an avid cyclist, I've tried many bike shorts over the years. I find these to be average; the fabric is nice, but the elastic isn't as strong as I expected. The waistband rises too high for my liking, causing some discomfort when leaning forward. I'd recommend looking at other brands."

"I should have bought more when they were on sale for $22.99 with a $7 off coupon; now they're a bit pricier. I've had these for over 2 years and they are still in great shape. They fit well and are really comfortable, which is exactly what I look for in boxer shorts. I hope to get 3-5 years out of them with 10 pairs in rotation, but time will tell. I found another cheaper brand that seems to be doing well, so I might not pay more for less product. It's a shame because I would support this company if they had more competitive pricing."

"I purchased a 3-pack in 2021, and they are still going strong! I just wanted a refresher set. They are lightweight, breathable, and have held up well during my morning runs. Definitely top notch!"

"I bought these because they were much cheaper than the name brands, and they've turned out to be fantastic for me during winter running in 50F weather. I've logged a few hundred miles in them without any chafing. They wash well and seem to have a good lifespan. I definitely think they are worth trying out!"

"After suffering a nasty mtb crash, I purchased these shorts and have ridden about 800 miles since. They’re so comfortable that I hardly notice them while riding. I fell on a rocky downhill recently, landing on my hip and elbow, but thanks to these shorts, I experienced no bruises or pain!"

"I bought these for hip protection after my hip replacement. They work wonderfully and come with a really comfortable chamois. Plus, the fit is great, allowing me to continue enjoying mountain biking!"

"As a seasoned BMX racer, I've been using these shorts for 1.5 years. They fit snugly but allow for full movement during sprints. I've had a couple of hard falls and got right back up without injury. I’d recommend these to anyone into racing or stunt riding!"

"I am 5' 8", 175 lbs, and the Medium size fits me perfectly. They stay in place well under boxer briefs, and the soft fabric breathes great. High quality; I would definitely order again!"

"At 6' and 185 lbs with a 34x34 pant size, the Large fits perfectly. I’ve tested them on the trail, and they feel great while riding moto."

"These shorts breathe very well, and after about 25 washes, they still feel brand new! If the price were lower, I’d consider getting a second set."

"These shorts have no drawstring, but they stay in place very well. The material quality is excellent, and I find LG shorts to last a long time. I have a 36-inch waist, and the XL size fits snug, like cycling shorts should. I would appreciate it if LG added some sticky material to the bottom inside of the leg."

"If you're familiar with this brand, you already know about their quality and comfort. In my opinion, there is none better."

"This is a great product with just one minor drawback. The design and materials are of good quality, and they are very comfortable. The sizing is accurate, and they seem durable (I’ll provide a follow-up in 6-12 months). The elastic bands on the waist and legs are well-designed, and the padding is excellent, including gel inserts. However, I would like more color options than just black and a waist drawstring instead of only elastic."

"As someone who rides a recumbent trike, I find these shorts very comfortable and durable. This is my third pair, which I rotate while washing the others."

"I bought these shorts to avoid thigh chaffing while using my treadmill. They fit comfortably, are well-made, and I’ve washed them countless times without any signs of wear. If I need another pair, I would definitely buy them again."

"For my rowing needs, these shorts are adequately discreet and comfortable. I chose a size up to avoid compression, and they delivered exactly what I wanted, which is great!"

"I purchased XXL and found it true to size based on the manufacturer's table. The fit is good and comfortable without feeling bulky at all. In the end, I'm happy with the product."

"I bought this because I was developing serious saddle sores from my old chamois. Despite longer rides, my saddle sores cleared up within a week. Fantastic chamois!"

"Como siempre con GORE, es un coulote magnífico, está pensado para uso con tiempo caluroso y transpira muy bien. Lo he utilizado con calor y han transpirado fenomenal; me he comprado otros. Totalmente recomendables."

"I've ridden over 5000 miles with these shorts. They're comfortable and long-lasting, plus easy to wash and dry."

"I bought these shorts to prepare for a 50-mile bike ride. I'm really glad I did! They look good, feel great, and I survived the ride."

"I'm impressed by the padding quality. They handle 40-mile rides comfortably and outperformed my more expensive bibs."
