Red thermal compression rugby shorts for adult men
These thermal compression shorts are designed for rugby players seeking optimal muscle support without movement restriction. The polyester-elastane composition (significant elastane proportion) guarantees progressive compression that limits muscle vibrations during impacts and repeated running. The quick-drying fabric efficiently evacuates sweat, even during intensive sessions — a decisive advantage for maintaining warmth and comfort without humidity sensation.
The integrated antibacterial treatment reduces odours after prolonged use, particularly appreciated during tournaments or winter training periods. Ventilation zones strategically placed (typically on the inner thighs and waistband) promote air circulation without compromising thermal insulation. The elastic waistband ensures a personalised fit that stays in place during scrums and tackles, without a tourniquet effect.
What size should I choose for an 85 cm waist?
Size M generally suits waists between 80 and 90 cm. For athletic morphology with developed thighs, opt for size L to avoid excessive compression.
Do I wear the compression shorts under match shorts?
Yes, they fit directly under regulation shorts. Their thinness limits bulk while providing warmth and muscle support.
Can they be machine washed after each use?
Yes, machine wash at maximum 30°C. The antibacterial treatment withstands repeated washing. Air drying recommended to preserve elasticity.
Technical specifications
Care instructionsWash at maximum 30°C in machine, delicate cycle. Avoid fabric softener which alters antibacterial properties and moisture-wicking capacity. Air drying essential: tumble drying damages elastane and reduces compression support lifespan. Do not iron. After intensive use, rinse with cold water before washing to eliminate sweat residue. DesignThe polyester-elastane combination is the standard for compression baselayers: polyester ensures rapid moisture evacuation through capillarity (hollow fibres that transport sweat outward), while elastane provides bidirectional elasticity needed to fit muscle contours without restricting stride extension or weight shifts. Ventilation zones — typically more aeriated or perforated mesh — are placed on high-sweating areas (inner thighs, lower back) to create airflow that regulates body temperature without creating cold spots. The wide elastic waistband distributes pressure evenly across the abdominal belt, avoiding the shearing effect that can occur with simple thin elastic bands during trunk twists. The antibacterial treatment (typically silver ions or specific polymers integrated into the fibre) neutralises odour-causing bacteria as they appear, a plus for players stacking multiple sessions without immediate washing opportunity. |
