Customer Reviews Under Armour UA Authentic 4" Compression Short

I compete in reined cow horse and cutting events, which means a lot of twisting and turning in the saddle. My Under Armour protects the inside of my thighs from chafing when riding for hours and hours.

Needed something to wear under skirts when biking and under shorts when exercising and these work great. I am a size 14-16 and got the XL. I love that I can wear and not sweat due to these.

I needed red and navy compression shorts and this was the only place I could find those colors. Thank you so much!!

I don't know the difference between these and the Ultra Compression shorts, other than the materials are different. They are very comfortable. I'm a small normally, but always have to go up for the compression clothing. The waist is not too tight at all (maybe because I wear a medium to accommodate my larger rear). These shorts are very comfortable (a little tight, but they're supposed to be) and keep everything from moving too much during runs.

I am 5'8", 130# and the medium fits great. I like this short because there is no seam through the crotch and thus no camel toe (seems are on side). Wide waist band is a bonus too. I run and weight train in these shorts.

These shorts are definitely lightweight and comfortable. I'm not sure about wearing them stand alone in the white though as they are definitely see through. The black shorts are opaque enough to wear on their own. I agree with the others that they're not super compression--but I kinda liked that about them because they didn't make my legs look squeezed. If you're looking for more compression go a size down--I'm usually a small and I bought these in an xs and a small and both were fine.

Very comfy shorts. Love the royal blue colour. They do roll a little bit on the legs which is annoying. But the fit is nice and the material very comfortable.

These run incredibly small but are good quality. I am 5'8" 150lbs and 20% body fat and the Mediums are too tight. Just order up a size and you'll be good to go.

I am a bike rider. These shorts work will for me. Not to tight and gives me freedom of movement. Great when you working in the yard I do not like the wide wrist bland.

I purchased these shorts mainly for doing hot yoga. I like the quality breathability of the fabric and the amount of compression they offer. I am 5'7", 160lbs and got a size Medium. They fit well, but my only issue is that the legs sometimes roll/slide up a bit when exercising. This is probably just due to the length of the short, but maybe sizing up would help. Overall, really nice workout shorts for the price.

They work well during a game to stay tight, so after the game, my legs aren't as sore as they used to be. A little too tight although XS normally fits in other UA shorts, but otherwise a very good product.

Runs small. Uncomfortably tight!

I love the look, fit, and feel of these shorts, but running in them or any length of work out causes the legs to ride up. I was hoping with the compression they would stay put, but sadly that is not the case. I can ignore the fact they roll up and just leave them alone, but for long distance or work out they become very uncomfortable.

I wear a small in everything. I for sure thought I would fit into a small in these. These are more like XXXXXS. If you plan on buying these, buy a size bigger.

I bought these for my daughter to wear running. She said these don't offer as much compression as her old pair. She also doesn't like that the fabric is thinner and actually see through. The waistband is also wider, but thinner fabric. Her favorite shorts are style # 1245106. They offer lots of compression and the xs are small enough for her and stay up nicely. Please bring back style #1245106. Some more colors would be nice too.

i had to exchange it because the white one is totally see through!

I bought these to wear under shorts so my butt doesn't hang out. It was too tight, or maybe my thighs are too big. Either way, I had to return them.

will consider return for correct size Medium instead of Small.

I bought these shorts to wear under summer dresses, not for actual athletic wear. I think if you were thinner and wanted to use these as workout gear, they would be great. Being 5'9 and 165 pounds, these were way too short and the L was much too small for me. They are quite short, too short to stop the inner parts of my thigh from chafing, but I am fairly tall. The material is very thick and nice -- not ideal for wearing under dresses, but great for athletic shorts. Overall, these didn't serve the purpose I wanted them for, but that wasn't the purpose they were made to serve. Lesson learned.

I wish UA would sell these exact ones in 7 inch inseam again with this band around waist, they where very comfortable. These ones are way to short and roll all the way up unless your a size 0. These are not good for any type of workout!

I have these washed along with other shorts but this is the only one that starts pilling.

Seriously, are these kids shorts? I bought my usual xs and it was like the pictures where ferrets get stuck in a toilet paper holder. Muffin top, muffin bottom, more muffins than a girl can count. Strongly suggest passing these up.

These shorts and comfortable for a light jog and are a nice shade of blue, but those are the only positives. I would not bill these as compression shorts, not nearly 'sturdy'enough to provide actual compression. In addition, after one long run with a fuel belt, the shorts already started pilling. I was surprised at the poor quality given the other nice UA items I've purchased.

I was excited to order these online because of their longer inseam. Sadly, I returned them because they cut into my thighs around the bottoms, though maybe most compression shorts do this. I don't often wear shorts but was to comfortable wearing these.
