    Top Performer, Light, Breathable, High Compression, Recommend! Buy!

    First time, soon to be repeat Virus customer. I found these by chance through some web site. What really drew my attention to this brand was their popularity in OCR racing. I am an endurance athlete, cyclist, will be using them in the gym on occasion also. It seemed like the q014.5 and for me the Tempo V2 shorts where the best bet for endurance. The Tempo may be discontinued so I am commenting here. I have used compression for years, always interested in a top brand. I will be layering these up for cycling to increase compression levels over long, hard workouts. I am dealing with cycling kit sizing that is very tight. A normal size is like a drop size and you are not suppose to size up. In addition, this brand has the capability to deliver Very high performance compression levels. These are 18% lycra with a fabric that is very flexible. These allow movement in any direction, not going to stop you. I read some reviews, thought of pros, cons, wanted them tight, high compression level, did not want them to move, sized down to smalls. The fit on these is incredible, it could not be any better nor feel any better on or during a long, intense ride. These at least double the compression level I would normally have and stay absolutely planted the entire time, no chaffing, no movement, no adjustments. Even if these break in to my body type, I am not worried about these riding up as tight as they fit. These have a nice, higher rise waist which continues the compression…

    the durability and lifespan of these shorts are unmatched. the fit and finish is on point. i swim, run, and lift in these shorts…. they wash well, i hang dry them, and the material wears like they are straight outta the pkg. fits true to size, stays put…. and at the price point; is a better buy than competitors products.

    Instant Return, Not Worth the Price

    I was excited to try these but the material just isn't nicer than the Under Armor stuff I can get for $20 a pair on Amazon. Careful when you order stuff from this brand too, there is fine print that makes most items not returnable.
