Supacore is a unique premium product, offering medical grade TGA approved graduated compression which is set to disrupt the sporting industry. We’ve taken traditional sports performance wear and given it a serious upgrade with our seamless knitting technology. Like everything that we do, this matters. It matters because: It improves the durability and lifetime of your product. Traditional methods for making clothing include what’s known as “Cut and Sew”. This means that pieces of flat fabric are measured, cut to size, and then sewn together by hand or by a machine (or a combination of both). This means an increased probability of product fault, both in the sizing of the product and for every seam where the flat pieces are joined together. It also means that over the time that you wear your clothing, the chances of both the product tearing and the compression forces throughout changing due to a weakening of the seams are increased – diminishing the effect and lifetime of your product. It matters because: We’re serious about your health, fitness, and injury recovery. Compression garments are a combination of sportswear and fashion technology. You buy them because you want to improve your performance, to prevent injury, and to recover better. Seamless technology is at the “cutting edge” of clothing manufacture, and because the garment is produced in a circle, we’re able to fine tune the compression of each and every Supacore product via computer. Traditional cutting and sewing methods mean producing to a pattern, where there are numerous possibilities for errors in compressive forces with the measuring, cutting, and seam sewing of the garment. It matters because: It’s better for the environment. Traditional “Cut and Sew” techniques involve outlining a deconstructed garment pattern to a flat piece of fabric, cutting out the pieces, and then sewing them together. Of course, no matter how great someone is at this fashion Tetris, there are a certain number of offcuts that are thrown away from the production of a garment. This might not sound like much, after all, those tiny scraps of fabric are so tiny, right? Well, think about it like this. If a pair of tights made in a cut and sew technique has approximately 125g of offcuts per garment, and 1000 pairs are produced… that’s 125kg of waste. Seamless production means zero waste. Each product is made to exact specifications, removing the need for cutting, and removing the waste. Here at Supacore, we want to keep living, running, and training in a world that’s healthy and well looked after, so reducing our impact on the environment is an important part of our values. Your choice in the products you purchase matters.

most disappointed
after suffering from hamstring and groin pulls for years i was after some compression shorts to help alleviate these issues (I've been searching for a while and thought I'd found the answer). After some debate and researching online i decided to order these, mainly due to all the good reviews by professional and semi profesional sportsman from all over the world (these are far more expensive than i would normally be prepared to pay, but i thought it might be worth the gamble). They arrived the next day thanks to amazon prime and i eagerly opened them. My first impression was that they looked a bit small (i ordered large after reading their size guide), but looked well made and durable. Before wearing them to football i thought i'd trial them at home to see how they fitted? after wearing them for around 30mins i realised they weren't for me and had to take them off. the main issue i found with them is the band round the top of them. i not overweight by any means (coming in around 13st and 6ft tall) but i believe you need to have a flat stomach/wash board abs for the ruddy band to stay up? i found with little or no movement the band would roll down and bunch up around my waist, constricting me like a python or anaconda. no matter how many times i pulled the band back up and no matter how many times i tried re-positioning it at different heights the ruddy thing wouldn't stay up? if these compression shorts didn't have the band around the top of them they would be amazing, the fit around the thighs was excellent and as i said earlier they are well made and durable, but for £84.99 (price i paid) i expect them to be comfortable, the band around the top is a major design flaw in my mind. its just my opinion, a non bias view from the man on the street.

The waistband is annoying and I it’s just useless.
The product quality is good, the down side of the product is the waistband. Maybe they could try at least to explain what’s it for, as it just rolls down every time you pull it up. It’s so annoying, maybe I should wear it when going to sleep so it can stay in place. I think the product would be much better without the waistband. As it’s comfortable to wear, I used if for running. I could have returned it but of course I didn’t want to return something that I used for two hours running. And the product is so expensive.

supports very well
the support is very good, which is what i was looking for, rather pricey but if it works then worth the money.
