Whether you're sprinting, jumping, or even bull riding, explosive activities require the right gear. BioSkin’s Compression Shorts are built for serious athletes who demand support and performance for high impact sports.
Medical-grade compression wraps your hips, groin, and hamstrings to reduce fatigue, prevent injury, and enhance recovery — especially when activity is unpredictable.
Athletes who swear by BioSkin Compression shorts say they are the only product with the technical fabrics to truly makes the difference during quick acceleration and high-impact activity. If you've need high compression, or if you have had hamstring or groin trouble, a sports hernia, or just want to stay in the game with full confidence and full activity, BioSkin Compression Shorts is your foundation layer.
Just be warned — once you train in them, you'll never want to go without.
Performance Note: Compression has three main benefits that have been scientifically proven both in performance labs and in sports of all kinds, but compression is still widely misunderstood.
Benefit
1. Compression improves recovery time, including reducing muscle soreness after hard workouts. This is done in two ways. First, by increasing blood circulation, allowing more nutrient-rich blood to flow through the injured tissue during the healing process. Second, by controlling swelling. The fluid that swells up tissue is full of chemicals that help heal in the right amounts, but can cause unnecessary soreness when left in muscles for too long. Compression helps to get healing fluid back out as soon as possible.
2. Improved Proprioception--kinda like improving how your brain and body calculates movement. The snug fit from compression also triggers millions of receptors in your body and gives you better awareness for better performance. This is especially true when you are injured. Injury reduces your body's awareness of where it is in space in addition causing pain that distracts and causes pain reflexes that are hard to control.
BioSkin Compression Shorts deliver tight enough compression to have your muscles work more efficiently during exercise.

4 Effective for quad strain
Posted by Kelly
Very effective for my quad strains. I think they have definitely helped to prevent reinjury and get me back much sooner than expected! I usually buy men’s 32” hip pants and a Small was far too tight. The mediums are still very tight as they should be but fit me better. My only complaint is that the material on the waistband is quite rough and scratchy. I have been tucking a shirt in to prevent them from rubbing uncomfortably. Also find myself hiking them up as the tend to want to slide down my bum a bit.

5 Great Work Out Shorts
Posted by spee5
Shorts work great. I played some basketball in them for the first time and I really liked the feel. I did notice that the lettering started to peel and I hadn't even worn them once. May want to think of a solution for that.

5 Hockey player
Posted by Steve
I’m an old timer hockey player with a groin pull that won’t heal. This is simple yet way better than a standard Ace wrap. I’ve recommended it to several in the locker room. I have a 33” waist and ordered a medium. It works great but a large may be a better fit. I will order another one. I selected the 5-star rating but when I submit it bounces back with a message that it’s missing a rating.

5 Nothng out there better
Posted by Mo-ichido
On my second pair with the groin/hip wrap, as a very active but older Martial Artist these shorts have made a huge difference to managing a nagging hip problem that requires surgery. Reduced pain, increased function of hip, stability of the joint and confidence in using that leg, and all without the bulk and uncomfortable Neoprene, Awesome. Spanks for the active....the only negative is the closure on one end of the groin strap isnt big enough and can come open under extreme movement. Bioskin please look into this eh?

5 Great Product
Posted by Andrew
On my third pair over many years. Had a bilateral sports hernia surgery nine years ago and always use these shorts as injury prevention whenever sprinting or doing other sports with quick acceleration. They are the only brand I have found that provide enough compression to make a real difference.

Thank you! I use the shorts to both workout in and for recovery. They have helped a nagging hamstring issue tremendously.

Clearly, these shorts are well made and provide very strong support for my legs. I am still adjusting to the squeeze.

3 Sizing
Posted by Martie
I ordered a size small as I have a 30 inch waist; I could barely get one leg into them. I would strongly suggest that who ever does the sizing for BioSkin change the sizing chart. I'm not sure if a large would even fit, so I opted not to reorder after I returned the small.

5 Must have for hamstring/groin injury or support
Posted by KPL
This is my 7th pair of bioskin compression shorts. I am 36 years old and refuse to play active sports (baseball, basketball and tennis) without them. I have had bad hamstrings since I was a teen and these are the best supportive compression shorts I have ever worn...and I was trying new companies/products for years until I discovered bioskin. They are worth every penny "for that year" as to get maximum use and support out of them, you will need to repurchase them each year. Again worth every penny and I will continue to repurchase, because they are the best supportive hamstring/groin product I have ever worn. I would also order a size smaller than you would normally wear, so they are extra tight/supportive. With the older pairs, I have had to wear two of them at once to get what a new pair will provide, but Im also wearing them 3 days a week, 6-7months out of the year. Bioskin has definitely prolonged my playing career!

Really like the shorts. I think they run a tad on the small size. I have a 36" waist and got the large size (40-44). I now know what my mom went through getting into a girdle. The next size up fits much better and still maintains the compression. Maybe it was just my body shape! ;o)

5 I ballroom dance
Posted by Foy
Once I figured out how to get in them, they are great. I rolled the waist band down and the leg bands up ... step into them, pull them up, then rolled the legs bands down and the waist bands up. They protect my left hip flexor and abduction ligaments ... I ballroom dance and they are just what I needed for that left leg support ...

The shorts support and protect a sore adductor allowing me to return to tennis and CrossFit activities. They do require some breaking-in before they are fully comfortable.

5 Incredible! So grateful for this product
Posted by Renee
17 yr old son Diagnosed with si joint pain/spondyloarthropathy. We thought his high school baseball playing days for this year was done, but this product keeps him in the game--decreases pain and gives support at the hips where needed. He wears it at practice and games. I'm online now to buy another pair. Can't say enough about this product.

5 So Comfortable!
Posted by Mark
I am a runner and am pretty apprehensive to use any type of compression short. I do not like the binding feeling. After a recent injury I was forced to look at compression shorts again. These, by far, are the best compression shorts I have ever owned! They do not slide and they are super comfortable while at the same time providing the support I need. Sounds funny, but sometimes I feel they are giving me more bounce in my step. Nothing out there from any of the other big providers even compares! I ordered two more pair. Bio Skin rocks!

5 the BEST
Posted by Matt
By far & away the best compression shorts I have ever owned, tore my hamstring playing football and got a pair, was able to continue playing (still a poor decision in retrospect) but loved training in them afterwards. Got them stolen from me and miss them so much as no other compression short even comes close to comparing with these, I am now ordering my 2nd pair. Plain & simple: these are the best. worth the price compared to Under Armour or Nike compression shorts. You regret buying these I promise you. Only con: after heavy usage began to separate (the layers) but this was only after extreme heavy usage (football practices, weight training, showers [don't wash them in the washer], hikes, snowshoeing etc.) so can't really complain, be nice of they were a little more durable or maybe I'm just to rough on my gear haha.
