ACTIVE Ax COMPRESSION SHORTS 5"

DFND 5 inch compression shorts (part #MC245, Active Ax) are a men's training short with a patented design. Light Ax fabric covers the legs, while firmer Rx fabric panels are built in around the hips and glutes. As a result, the shorts give your hips and posterior chain extra support while you train.

Graduated compression keeps your quads and hamstrings contained through sprints, lifts and conditioning.
