After training all summer and fall in the gym for ski season, I got accustomed to wearing compression shorts for sport activities. A few times this season I've worn compression shorts, and I kind of like it. It keeps everything in place. Anyone else wear compression shorts while skiing?

I don't necessarily use compression shorts but never straight boxers anymore, too much testicle bang when you land flat or short on jumps.

compression shorts for sure. helps wick moisture from my balls and grundle and keeps by balls from being stretched when i land rough. Def nice to wear, i also loose fit under armour tops, and jordon shorts, under my outerwear. gotta keep it comfy!

just get em from eastbay for super cheap, or get em at a local sporting good store. Brand doesnt matter, all it is is spandex and polyester blend.

Yes, but I wear them with a cup in and highly recommend it to anyone learning rails. You don't want to get railed learning rails, so pop that cup in.

why? cups prevent head-on impacts from causing injury, if you nut a rail, it is coming up at you. also, cups aren't real comfy...and people would think you are super creepy when you would adjust it.

I was also thinking about those Nike Pro Combat shorts too, after watching the Final Four today. The stuff that NBA players wear under their uniforms. Probably nice to have some padding when you land on a rail, knuckle or deck of the pipe.

I have to find a good pair for soccer, skimming, skiing and maybe skating too. might need two pairs for all that.

a cup must be super weird while skiing, or anything for that matter.

impact shorts like that might be cool.

I wear the Under Armour tight pants every day. Mostly for the knee brace I wear, so it doesn't rub through my leg. But the moisture wicking and compression are great to have as well.

Have you ever tried it? I've nutted myself at least 5 times with a cup in and must say that they are quite the ballsaver. My nuts feel like normal after a good racking which is probably far from what most people could say after giving their hardy boys a good rape. Its up to you man, I'm just a fan of preserving the family genes.

Pro combat stuff is really cool, but it is way over priced for what it really does. I work at a sporting goods store and I always recommend the knock off stuff. does the exact same thing as pro combat. I use some mcdavid compressions with the pads and they work awesome for when i crash.

Dude its a GREAT idea to wear compression shorts while skiing.

You can actually damage your testicles long-term if you have them flapping around loose while you're taking big impacts.
