FAQs
Are these shorts squat-proof?
Yes, the Meridian compression fabric is designed to be opaque, providing reliable coverage during deep squats and lunges.
Can I wear these for long-distance running?
While optimized for gym training, the flexible material and secure fit make them suitable for shorter runs or sprint drills.
How do I determine my size?
These shorts follow standard UK dress sizing. Since they are a compression fit, choose your usual size, but expect a snug, locked-in feel.
Do these have pockets?
The primary focus of this design is on muscle support and a smooth, flat finish, so they do not feature traditional storage pockets.
Will the material lose its compression over time?
With proper care—specifically avoiding high-heat drying and fabric softeners—the technical fabric is designed to retain its shape and support for a long duration.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you are using the correct UK sizing (this guide covers Size 14). If the compression is uncomfortable, verify that the garment is not pulled too high at the waist.
Fabric bunching during movement
Check that the shorts are properly seated on the hips. High-intensity training can sometimes shift fabric; adjusting the leg cuff before beginning a set usually fixes the issue.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent muscle support via compression technology
- Stays in place during high-intensity movements like box jumps

- Provides secure coverage for deep squats and lunges

- Sizing can feel tighter than standard leggings due to the athletic cut
- Limited to training-specific applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the moisture-wicking properties and the integrity of the compression fabric, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the performance fibers.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, hang dry to maintain the elasticity of the waistband and fabric.
- Compatibility: These shorts pair well with technical tanks and training bras. If using as a base layer, they are compatible with most standard athletic joggers or woven training shorts.
- Storage: Avoid folding the waistband sharply for extended periods to prevent stress on the elastic fibers.
