Taking Bauer's great baselayer compression material and combining it with the Core Short X-Pattern construction makes this a great jock pant. The X-Pattern design will keep all your muscles in that part of the body still able to move and stretch but won't allow it to over-extend causing pain. The material is lightweight so it won't feel much different from a traditional Jock Pant, we still have the great ergonomic cup design and velcro enclosures on both sides to keep your socks in place.
