Compression

Love that i get to add an alternative compression short to my collection. Restrictive enough and comfortable as i go through workouts or play volleyball matches

Some Thoughts

I’ve been wearing the Always in Motion and AIM Mesh boxers for about 5 years now. I used to like the Lock ‘Em Down Trunk, so I gave these a try. Many have commented on how tight they are, and I think that’s somewhat fair. These are performance underwear first (spandex), and lean a bit towards everyday wear. The AIM line is the opposite. These are clearly better for exercise and I personally don’t mind the fit for everyday wear. I don’t wear them to sleep though.

Exercise focused

Great for getting some exercise in! I wear mine when I want to workout and the shorts don't have a liner. I wouldn't wear them during regular activities, though. Stick with the Always In Motion boxers for that.
