Best swim trunks for the gym, running and training.

74 customers train in them. Why the compression liner makes them work as athletic shorts.

A meaningful group buys Tucann trunks as gym or running shorts because the liner is a compression short, not a net. The 3 inch is the most common training length (34 of 74). Five star share is 86%, a little below the site average; the deductions come from men with large quads who found the leg opening tight in their usual size.

The other side

Every one to three star review in this group, so you can weigh it yourself.

I usually wear medium In just about everything, but these run SMALL and as a more athletic build the thigh opening is skin tight. Size up. Exchanging for Large. Waist is 32 thighs 26 hips 39 For your reference. 5’9” 180#

Waste size was fine. Way too tight on the thighs. I am 6' 5" @ 230 lbs with an athletic build.

Frequently asked questions

Can you run in them?
Yes. The liner acts as a compression short and the zip pockets hold a phone or keys without bouncing, which is the point most runners make.
Do they work for lifting?
For squats and leg work, order up one size if your thighs are developed. The shell stretches four ways, but the leg opening is tailored, not baggy.
Which length for the gym?
3 inch for running and mobility, 5 inch for general training. Tucann also makes a dedicated Sport range.
