What Are Compression Shorts and Pants
Compression shorts and pants are close-fitting base layer garments worn under hockey pants and other lower-body gear. They help improve comfort, support muscle movement, and create a cleaner fit underneath equipment.
They are commonly used with protective lower-body gear and work naturally alongside undergarment tops as part of a full base-layer system.
Who Should Choose Compression Shorts and Pants
Compression shorts and pants are best for:
-
players wanting better lower-body comfort under gear
-
skaters improving layering under hockey pants
-
players who prefer a more supportive on-ice fit
