Do any males run in compression shorts? If so, any favorites?

I need to get a pair of compression shorts for something else and figured I'd try to get a pair that I can use for running as well.

Not a male, but I love Janji's shorts. They're pricey, but feel so good and have lots of pockets.

Most of the distance runners on my kid's track team wear half tights. DS2 has a pair of nike ones (not the $$$ ones) and a pair of chicken legs. He prefers the chicken legs ones because they're not as compressing (and they're pretty affordable.)

Janji is likely to be suggested a lot.

I wanted to try some and was disappointed by "DEVOPS" on Amazon, aka the cheapest pair available on Amazon about a year ago.

Following along this thread since that probably wasn't a fair test for the whole concept.

As a male, I have a couple pairs of janji compression tight shorts and like them. From the multiple pockets to the weight which are great and the ones I have they provide a 2 layer modest front which I've never felt over exposed or the need to wear under-gear with them. Rabbit and Flipbelt are other ones I've wanted to try.

Not that we didn't assume we'd be getting more Brooks styles for every race weekend, but we've got confirmation now. And it looks like the generic rD, Mickey, and Minnie styles will be restocking.

I own 2 pairs of Janji half tights. One an XL and the other a large. I bought the XL first and after running a 5k I realized that I should probably get a a large. Based on my measurements I was in between both. I bought them at an REI when they were on sale. I prefer the large as it fits a little better but I still like my XL and use that as well on my maintenance runs. I just bought a pair of lululemon half tights over the weekend because they’re on sale. So that makes 3 compression tights and 3 pairs of lined running shorts. All are great so long as I use my anti chafe stick.

I like CW-X. I pretty much always run in their ventilator shorts and have their capri and fulll length tights for when the weather gets cooler.

June Totals:

Mileage- 111.1 miles - I very much enjoy this number haha
Time spent running - 17:29:28

Got what I believe is a 5k PR last weekend (I haven't done many all-out 5ks recently so I'm not 100% sure) 21:51 and took 2nd female overall! Not bad for the 85+ degrees plus humidity it was that day.

I can't wait to see what the Halloween inspired shoes look like!

Under Armor are my favorite compression shorts to wear under my running shorts, but they can be pricey. If you have an Academy nearby, try their house brand BCG. They are decent for the price.

June Running:

Total distance: 106.67 mi
Average pace: 11:23/mi

Nothing to note, just trying to build up some speed with a recycled DopeyBadger 10k plan before starting WDW marathon training in the fall. Strength training has not been as consistent as I'd like, as usual.
