Can't say enough hood things about there product (2XU). I use these manily for hiking, however lately, I have been using them for 2 hours and 30 min of cardio. Every day that I am off, I work out, and this is what I wear to the gym or trail head. I have had them for a few months now, and love using them. Whether at the gym for 4 hours or on the trail for over 10 hours they hold up great.They have never once stunk, even after a 13 hour day of use, i wore them the next day, and theyvstilm didnt smell. I haven't gotten a sunburn, and they aide you to push out big miles days. The larger waist band doesn't wrap over itself downward, and isn't overly snug. They have kept their shape over 100's of uses and washes. I have accidently put them in the dryer, and nothing happened to them. Thank God!!! The MCS actually works. I thought it was just a gimmick, but I was wrong. I can do a lot more hiking with them, than without. Moreover, my legs are not as soar the next day. I just purchased another set so I don't have to wash them daily.
