These for me had them for about 3 years and still no holes or anything in them

Buy a pair of usual white boxer shorts and a pair of Slazenger box shorts from Sports Direct. Cut the pouch out and sow it onto the boxers, sorted. Comfortable and practical

Does anyone make a set of compression style shorts with a box pouch these days? That would be the golden short for me, Aero boxer ones I have are good but too short to be that comfortable for a long innings so get worn over compression shorts.

I always used to use Aero's but bought the Gray Nics shorts at the start of the year - comfiest going, would highly recommend them (even over the Aero ones!)

Anyone got any recommendations for ones that are particularly long, my thigh guard rubs if it's directly on my leg and most cycling shorts down go much more than mid thigh.

The Aero batting shorts come to just above the knee.

Have a look at the gray Nicolls cover point compression pants, that's what I use but I cut them to turn them into shorts

As others have said the Aero ones designed to be used with Strippers come to just above the knee .
Skins do a white coloured compression short ( just above the knee ) with a pouch . More than double the price of the Aeros though .

There is one called 010 compression, Ian O'Brien is the managing director. Heard some pretty good reviews although I don't own a pair myself.

Looked into these before but seems the company is long gone.

Aero long ones look ridiculously long... Not really compression shorts either if they're the same construction as the trunks. Did not know Skins did one though, that I will definitely look into!

I have BSC ones which have the pouch built into them. Had em for a few years and they are great, they don't pill like the skins equivalent and have a draw string, which I like.

Looks like a good product the aero shorts, may have to change mine and get these or a trusty old faithful jock
Title: Re: Box Shorts
Post by: Percy on July 06, 2016, 07:28:19 AM
Looks like the Aero ones are the ones, I like the fact that they are quite long as well.

Thanks for the input everyone.

set of skins shorts or trousers then stick some Areos over the top

compression and box held steady, great for batting long periods of time...or so i am told!!

Another vote for the Aeros. Especially with the Aero box, which is under a fiver, they fit in really well - I can also use them for other exercise as a pair of under shorts too since my Nike Pros are on the way out!

The shock doctor shorts are very good, not sure how they are with anything other than shock doctor guard though.

I like the Aero long leg shorts but the material makes you a bit betty swallocks although a pair of cotton briefs under those works ok. Have the slazenger ones as well, great for the price
Title: Re: Box Shorts
Post by: OllieWalker39 on July 12, 2016, 06:49:36 AM
Yep, agree on that - that's why I like the Slazenger ones. Although the box pocket at the front is rather minimal!

Anyone got any recommendations for ones that are particularly long, my thigh guard rubs if it's directly on my leg and most cycling shorts down go much more than mid thigh.
I use the Adidas Techfit compression shorts and they are fantastic, I use the Aero P1 thigh pad and they don't rub at all and tbh they are solid at doing their job, highly recommend them

What's the material like on the Aero trunks, anyone? Soft like normal boxers?

Lycra like material, stretch, quite light but as previously stated for me, things get a bit hot :-)
