00:00What's up guys, Max here in Muscle World and in today's video I'm going to be reviewing the NYXA Pro
00:04Combat Compression Shorts.
00:06The number one compression shorts at the moment on Amazon is the NYXA Pro Combat Compression Shorts.
00:13They are number one, they've got the top spot on Amazon because they sell so well apparently.
00:18So here they are.
00:20First thing I can say about these shorts is they're ridiculously cheap
00:25when you compare them to bigger brands like Under Armour, Virus, Gymshark and all that but a lot cheaper.
00:33And so that's the thing is that low price could be, it could put some people off,
00:37it could look at anything like it's cheaply made, it's cheap material, a little rubbish don't buy.
00:42But obviously number one on Amazon shows that perhaps actually maybe they are half decent.
00:47So look, they do remind me very much of the NYXA Pro Combat Shorts of yesteryear
00:55which you know they stopped making a long time ago.
00:57I've still got them here, Nike Pro Combat, look the Tex, the Tex on the top is virtually identical.
01:07You look at them from a distance and you'd probably say look they're the exact same shorts.
01:12The only difference with these ones, the obvious difference is you've got these kind of,
01:17the actual stitching here is a slightly different colour
01:21which isn't on the NYXA Pro Combat, they're black.
01:25To be honest with you, I actually prefer them that way.
01:27So, so far visually I actually prefer the looks of the cheap NYXA Pro Combat.
01:33These actually benefit from a couple of things which many shorts don't have
01:37and they've actually got a pocket, not just one pocket, they've got one there that's on the side.
01:40They've got two pockets, they've got another identical one on the other side.
01:46As you can see there, it's just something that you can slip, you know, a phone in, a wallet, keys,
01:50I find them useful.
01:51There's an 88% polyester and a 12% spandex blend in here
01:57which allows it to have a little bit of stretchiness.
02:00It is quite thin so it's cool, it's sweat wicking.
02:04It's got a four-way, it's got a stretch, it stretches quite well
02:08and also it is very, very quick drying.
02:12So, very good for athletic style training, exercising in the heat, exercising when it's hot,
02:19you're going to be sweating, you're going to be lifting, you're going to be sprinting,
02:21you're going to be jumping, whatever, training outdoors, indoors, whatever.
02:24So, they are very, very versatile in that respect.
02:26So, are they any good for the price?
02:29To be honest with you, I think they're bloody amazing.
02:31For the price, I paid less than £8 for them, delivered the next day
02:35and they are really good shorts actually.
02:39I put them on at first, I thought, look, actually they're really, really tight.
02:42That's the first thing you put them on, they feel very small
02:44and I went with the same size that I went with their leggings version.
02:48The leggings are super comfortable for me actually.
02:51Really comfortable, pockets work great on them, I really like the leggings.
02:55So, I'll try the shorts.
02:58They feel a little bit smaller on the shorts,
03:00I don't know whether that's just because they are,
03:02obviously they are shorter in length,
03:03but they feel like they're slightly smaller, they don't fit as well.
03:07But, if anything, they do just seem to fit in.
03:12I do notice that these pockets don't seem to be as good,
03:17I don't really think they're that usable on the shorts as they are on the leggings.
03:21For me, anyway.
03:22They were nice to have, maybe put the key in,
03:23but I wouldn't put much more than that in there
03:26because they don't seem to affect the way the shorts carry themselves on you.
03:33They are thin, but I don't think they go see-through like some of them do.
03:38Whatever they've done, I think it's the stitching,
03:41the way they've stitched them here at the back,
03:45it makes this area very kind of tight.
03:48Very form-hugging, should we say.
03:50Some of you may not like that, some of you may like it,
03:52so obviously it's up to you what you do with that.
03:56But, for me, it actually makes them a little bit less see-through,
03:58it feels a lot more kind of tucked in, as it were.
04:01The front only has a single layer,
04:06so you probably want to wear something underneath.
04:10Or, some people might want to wear shorts over the top,
04:12personally, I wear underneath.
04:13So, I have that double layer,
04:15whereas I know a lot of more premium brands
04:17will have a double layer in there anyway.
04:18But, even then, regardless, I still want to wear underwear underneath.
04:21For less than £8, we just want to pay for them.
04:25Really good shorts.
04:26I'm very impressed with them,
04:27very impressed with how they fit,
04:29how they were responding when I was training with them.
04:32I got them in black.
04:33I know they do have different colours.
04:35I'm dubious about getting the white ones.
04:37I just don't really think...
04:39White's a very difficult colour to pull off with this type of garment.
04:44Especially the cheaper ones.
04:47They do a grey one,
04:48but the grey ones just looked a bit different.
04:50I don't know whether it was a zip pocket,
04:52so the pockets didn't look quite right on there.
04:53I don't know.
04:54But, this style here seems alright for me.
04:57Actually, I'm very happy with them.
04:59I would recommend them as an entry-level short,
05:03if you want to wear an entry to compression.
05:05But, just like I said, be aware they are tight.
05:07Be aware that they don't leave anything to the imagination.
05:10Many of the more expensive brands do actually put double layers in at the front.
05:15They are very comfortable to wear.
05:18I do find that doing dynamic movements, up-down type movements,
05:22this tends to fold over a little bit,
05:24which I find does happen with a lot of shorts with me for some reason.
05:29That was the main downside of it.
05:31That and the pockets didn't seem too great.
05:33But, for the price, you've got Under Armour charging you £100 for a pair of compression shorts,
05:39which, to be honest, they're not that much better than these.
05:43They're not 10 times better than these, despite being over 10 times the price.
05:50You know, you could buy these where I'm cycling, where I'm in the gym, where I'm running,
05:54whatever you want to do with them.
05:56Like I said, they're very comfortable.
05:59They dry quickly, very thin, lightweight.
06:02Personally, I found them very good for exercising hot days, exercising explosively, sprinting, jumping,
06:09training with weights and things like that, squats, lower body exercises.
06:12I found it absolutely excellent with them.
06:14I probably wouldn't wear them just hanging around, you know, going to the shop or whatever.
06:18But, for training purposes, I think they're brilliant.
06:21And I continue wearing them.
06:23I do recommend them for the price.
06:24Absolutely excellent.
