Default Rehband warming shorts

No one on here has talked about these before, so i figured i'd post.

I just bought some from Jackal's gym a few days ago. For anyone who hasn't ordered from them, they are an awesome company. It took maybe 2 days from the day i ordered to get my shorts. Every person i've heard that has ordered from them has been satisfied.

Anyway, these shorts are basically like compression shorts, but made of neoprene material. So, it's the same idea of keeping your joints warm with elbow and knee sleeves.

These things are awesome though. My hips are constantly tight, and it takes a good few minutes for me to get loose. These things are great because once you put them on, your lower body starts to get warm b/c all the heat is trapped in them.

There's no support given from them in the terms of squatting or pulling more when you have them on. And, they move great, and you forget that you even have them on. I highly suggest anyone try them out if they have tight hips or want to keep their lower body warm. I tried them out initially because a lot of my training partners wear them, and i'm happy i did!

Here's the link to the shorts:

I too have these. I feel they are great way to keep everything in hip area warm and loose. I don't notice any gains in lifts. But I do feel they are a good for warming the area up quickly and preventing injuries.

not sure if they deliver to the UK. Send them an e-mail and see. A few of the guys i train with have the back supports as well. I haven't tried them personally.

Here's my $0.02.

You better look like Jamie Eason if you wear those to the gym.

Don't you wear them under regular shorts?

Are they similar to wearing a wet suit? Or are they tighter/looser?

i've never worn a wet suit, so i can't really compare. They are great though, similar to bicycle shorts, but much more comfortable.
