Best at this price point ($50-75). I've tried comparable brands (CW-X, 2XU, Puma, etc...) and these are at the top of my list along side the Puma Tech ACTV. I really like the simulated athletic tape of the Puma but the compression of the Skins is better. So, if your just looking for a good fit and compression at a reasonable price A200 is the way to go. (If you're not picky about colour then Amazon often has the basic black right around $50. Just bought another pair, while writing this review.)These are a base layer, dark colours black and grey are opaque enough to wear alone but white is a little shear on the legs (tattoo is clearly visible) and more opaque waist to crouch but, a good amount of sweat/water and its wet underwear contest time.Pocket could be a little easier to access (mostly reaching around back and trying to get your ID/credit card under the top flap -to keep it from bouncing out- and into the pocket) but does securely hold credit card, ID and a key without movement. Honestly I don't think there is a good place for pocket in compression shorts.As for care, I throw them in a laundry bag (otherwise know as a pillowcase tied off, recently upgraded to a fabric bag a set of sheets came in) and in with all my other clothes normal wash, hang to dry (only takes an hour or two). They get this treatment once or twice a week for the past four to six months with no signs of deterioration.
