2XU Men's Compression Long Sleeve Top (White/White, XX-Large) Review

Short Answer: It's nice. It works as advertised. I recommend it.

Longer Answer: I bought the Men's Large PWX Compression Top Long Sleeve in Black/Steel. This was the second piece of compression gear that I purchased. I bought my first piece at my local running store, a new business. My local running store did not carry the compression tops at all. While I was waiting for the replacement tights to arrive at the store (I needed the Tall version), I decided to buy this top here online at Amazon to avoid that wait. I had gone to the gym the week before and was using some different weight training equipment for the first time, and maybe a little too enthusiastically, so my arms, upper back, shoulders and chest were still a bit sore from the effort. As with the tights, once you have the compression gear on your skin surface immediately starts to feel cool, especially when you walk around the house and the air is moving around you; it's slightly less noticeable when you are sitting still.

The X-Form model of the 2XU tights are suitable for active use, and post activity recovery, or both. So now that I had a complete set I decided to try wearing them during a race, and not just post run. I ran in the inaugural San Jose 408K Race to the Row 8K race on March 11, 2012 (Google it, external links are discouraged), and I believe the 2XU gear helped keep my muscles stable. The top definitely felt like it was encouraging a more upright posture so I wasn't bending over or sagging during the run, or after. I had noticed during recent training runs that my forearms and hands were cramping a bit from trying to keep them in a flat bladed position. The shirt helped minimize that. The seams are flat and did not cause me any discomfort during my races.

I use a Garmin FR305 watch during my runs, and the Garmin HRM, the older model with the wide rubber/plastic piece across the sternum. During the 408K I ran with the HRM -over- my compression top, and it kept sliding and shifting. I decided I would wear it -under- my 2XU shirt during the Modesto (Half) Marathon I ran in the following week. This time the HRM buckle actually dug into my left side ribs, which I didn't notice during the run. Make sure to use Body Glide, or some similar product between your skin and the HRM's buckles, or other rigid bits that might chafe the skin deeply.

One caveat: Since I am still a bit soft in the middle I decided to wear a running shirt and vest over the 2XU shirt during my running events so my love handles are covered.

Another commenter on Amazon recommended washing the 2XU gear inside out, so the design is on the inside, and then hanging it to dry right side out; otherwise, the design will stick to itself and start tearing off. I agree with that recommendation: I tried it just the other day and everything turned out fine. I think I used the regular setting, but you may want to use the "gentle" cycle, or just was them in the sink by hand, if you are concerned about damaging the design.

In fact, one reason I chose the 2XU brand was for the design: The X pattern makes it look kind of like you're one of the X-Men(tm)! [� Marvel Comics]
