    I wear these on all of my runs over 5 miles. I have not had any issues with chafing since I started wearing these. They are comfortable and lightweight. I have worn these in 4 marathons and several ultras.

    Great compression shorts

      Comments about Equilibrium CoRe Short:

      I have tried many different compression shorts, and these are by far the best I have ever worn. I saw these at the expo for the St Louis Marathon and tried them on. They were a great fit! Normally I would try them out on short runs first, but decided to wear them during the half marathon, and am glad I did. I have large thighs and these worked very well in wicking sweat away and preventing chaffing. The best feature is the crotch support; they fit snug in all the right areas.

        Comments about Equilibrium CoRe Short:

        Without these my thighs chaffe pretty bad. I've been using these for several years, and haven't had any chaffing problems with them at all - no more body glide for my thighs. I've ran dozens of marathons, 50Ks, and a couple 50 milers with these without any chaffing.

          I wear these when I run, bike, or play basketball. If you want a comfortable baselayer, this is it. If I had 7 pairs of these, I would wear them everyday.

            I wear these many times under my shorts on long runs to prevent friction. They are very comfortable and fit true to size.

              Comments about Equilibrium CoRe Short:

              These shorts are ok. They're certainly not great but I think they'd be fine to wear to the gym. Maybe it's just me but the seam that runs through the crotch area was really irritating. These are not the greatest for running.

                  Probably the most comfortable shorts I have owned. They run a little larger than typical compression garments so be careful with the sizing.

                      I wear these when I run back home in Boston during hte winter. They provide an extra layer of warmth.

                      I'm currently deployed with my National Guard unit in Massachusetts. I use these as my everyday undergarments. It's hot (especially when fully armored up) and these are great for avoiding chafing and discomfort.
