Zensah compression leg sleeves have become a staple at races. I recently had the chance to test out Zensah’s seamless compression shorts and now understand why the leg sleeves are so popular. These shorts are considered a base layer and are my go to undergarment this winter.
I’ve reviewed other compression products that tend to constrict the leg’s movement. However, Zensah compression allows for full range of motion in my stride. While staying in place so you can rock them during a workout, race or post workout. The material almost seems like spandex allowing them to be extremely comfortable. The compression shorts add a nice comfortable layer while having the compression benefits if you wear them under long running pants. Zensah’s shorts are created from a wicking seamless material which allows them not to be drenched in sweat after runs. This is particular of interest with the cold winter days.The seamless technology allows for absolutely no chafing. Other compression gear in the past has given me some chafing during the marathon. Granted, I have not done long runs in their compression yet, but I’m confident in Zensah’s gear so far.
The only downside to these shorts are their length. The shorts come down to almost my knee cap despite having the correct sizing. Come summer races, I would like them to be a little shorter when I wear them under racing shorts. You can pick up Zensah’s compression shorts for only $34 bucks. Most compression shorts tend to be more expensive so these are a steal! The best testament to how much I dig these?….I’ve been wearing them during all my speed workouts!
