The Women’s Sports Compression Shorts and Tights are built for training and everything that comes after.
Whether you reach for compression shorts or full-length leggings, each piece uses graduated, zone-specific compression and a breathable, three-dimensional knit to support your lower body from warmup through recovery.
Backed by nearly a century of compression expertise, these aren’t standard workout leggings. They’re performance apparel engineered to improve circulation, sharpen body awareness, and reduce post-workout muscle fatigue.
Targeted Compression
Graduated, zone-specific compression that boosts circulation precisely where it’s most needed, while reducing muscle vibration during high-intensity training.
3D Power Dots
A textured knit design to stimulate proprioceptive feedback, sharpening your body’s connection to each joint and movement. The payoff: controlled, coordinated, and confident movement.
Compression Leggings and Shorts for Performance and Recovery
Whether you’re running, working through a strength circuit, or powering through a studio class, the women’s compression shorts and leggings are engineered to support you with every move.
Targeted compression zones featured throughout each pair stimulate lower-body muscles and improve circulation during activity, helping your body deliver oxygen more efficiently and reduce muscle fatigue after the workout. The result? Less soreness tomorrow and more consistency throughout training.
Each pair also features 3D Power Dots, a three-dimensional texture that stimulates the lower body for enhanced proprioception, your body’s natural sense of joint position and movement. This proprioceptive feedback helps you feel more balanced and in control, leading to more confident movement.
The breathable, lightweight knit is gentle on the skin, making the women’s compression shorts and bottoms just as well suited for post-exercise recovery and everyday wear as they are for training.
Active Comfort and a Precise, Anatomical Fit
Nothing ruins momentum like workout leggings and shorts that won’t stay put. The Sports Compression Shorts and Tights are anatomically designed for the female frame, delivering a precise, second-skin fit that supports without shifting or restricting your range of motion.
The compression shorts offer a lighter feel for high-intensity training, while the full-length compression bottoms provide additional muscle support to the calves.
Both styles work as standalone workout tights or as a supportive baselayer that can be worn across a variety of sports and activities, whether it’s running, strength training, or anything in between.
Machine washable and built to last, the Women’s Sports Compression Shorts and Tights are designed to help you reach your performance potential.
