Seems to help with the chafing issue and also things feel a bit less wobbly They do seem a touch expensive though. So, for arguements sake, say I am a complete cheapskate and don't want to spend another £20 to get a new pair shipped to me (that's two 10k races I could book instead). Are there alternatives out there that do the job for a fraction of the cost? The internet is indicating no, apart from Under Armour which are just as pricey.

And I get chafing (even with body glide) wearing other stuff but these Nike Pro thingies seem to elimiate the issue. Which makes runs a damn site more pleasureable. Will search fior a Lidl.

HermanBloom Mar 2013 11:09am, 25 Mar 2013 2,886 posts	Quote Pin HermanBloom They seem the same price as Nike. Though maybe there is another place I can get them from rather than direct.
mushroom Mar 2013 11:11am, 25 Mar 2013 401 posts	Quote Pin mushroom I favour the lycra shorts underneath more normal shorts as opposed to full on compression ones. Would they suffice? There are plenty of choices available for those. Sweatshop or Sportshoes have been my main suppliers. Currently I'm using some RonHill shorts that have 2 layers - a snug lycra inner with a regular outer.
