WSI compression jock with Velcro

[Lester8 11]

Fit: These are cut a bit long. Even when pulled all the way up, they hit right above the knee on my long legs (34" waist, 6' tall).

Protection: Nothing seems to fix the problem of the cup sitting too far away from the body. Compression material forms both sides of the pouch.

Weight: Negligible

Durability: There are no signs of wear on the inside or out. Even around the Velcro there is minimal shredding or balling. The elasticity has not slackened. None of the stitching has unraveled.

Intangibles: I had to move the Velcro up the legs. They were jamming into the flaps of my shin pads. I sewed them directly above its original position. I also flipped the Velcro over so that the tab hangs under in the way Itech's do.

Conclusion: In the first use, I noticed my legs had a great amount of energy left in them compared to the loose Itech shorts I used prior. I haven't noticed the advantage in the 12 months since. I'm probably used to it. Any regular jock strap under any compression short will provide better protection. You would just need to find wide Velcro to sew on and you might still save in the end.
