Has anyone worn these for sports such as basketball? I need something compressive, but I also have to be running/jumping around. Thanks in advance!

It will slide down. I used this on my tennis game and it keeps sliding down, so annoying.basketball frequently run and jump so i dont think this is good.

I have worn them in basketball games and at the gym for hardcore work outs. they are light comfortable and stay up well.

They are very thin and lightweight. Very little compression. They felt more like a layer of skin and were shorter in length than I expected. I would suggest a neoprene product.

I agree about going down a size.I think you could talk to the CompressionZ company-responsive they will help you with size and usage.

I wear mine for sports and they fit fine. However, I went down a size from what I measured from the knee to ensure they would be tight for compression and wouldn't roll down.

Mine are excellent for the noise, but they are just so bulky. I don't really like the way they fit.. I will get different ones that are not so big , bulky and heavy.. when I shoot at the local indoor range here , they make sweat like crazy.. LOL...

I think that depends on you. I only wear mine when it is below 40 degrees and after long runs for recovery. Other than that I run in shorts. If you are wearing them for the compression aspects, I would say it would depend on how you feel in a humid and hot climate like Miami.

Definitely don't wear underwear w the compression shorts. They are very comfortable to wear under shorts or athletic pants. I recommend them. I wear them every time I work out or run

I think they'd help provide support and stability while playing tennis. They are great for lifting. I wear mine for lifting and some of my plyo and conditioning work. I don't typically wear them for long distance running. Given your recent surgery and the quick changes in direction involved with playing tennis I think these would be beneficial to you.

I sweat a ton, more than anyone else has ever sweat. I'm a little over weight and I run many miles, in Atlanta, in the summer, with hills. I know sweat. These have an awesome fit, I never felt they would fall out of my ears. Sound was great. I loved them. I left them on a bench once, for like 15 seconds, and someone stole them. My only issue was with the mic, they don't have good noise cancellation, whenever on a call people would say I sounded like I was in an echo chamber.

I'm pretty small too. I had to relax a bit and go carefully, and they're pretty big still. I like them for that, but I would suggest going with a 3/4" pair first if you're nervous about it. They were what I started with, for the same reason.

I play basketball using the EVS also. If worn with an under armor style form fit shirt under the EVS and then just a regular t-shirt "Creighton's Doug McDermott" style over the EVS, most people I play with have no idea I'm wearing it.

I have used them in a running shoe and the impact absorption has been great. I am sure slow walking with heavy load should get good support too,not sure life of a pair due to prolonged compression though.

I would say they run a bit small so they can compress properly. If you feel like you're between sizes, I would advise you to choose the larger size.

I went jogging a few times with them and they seem to stay put... I wear glasses too. Hope my experience helps you. Thanks.

Volleyball or other "normal" pads are only somewhat effective for soccer. I wear a pair of 661 mountain biking knee pads. Very thick so lots of protection but the problem is that they move on the initial impact be it diving for a save or falling off my bike. I'm picking up a pair of these to wear UNDER my pads so that the big pad will take the fall and when it slips or moves this "base layer pad" will hopefully stay securely in place and absorb any additional impacts or sliding. The only question is since these were designed for basketball and a smooth court will the material holdup to the "grass" I play on which is very rough and unforgiving. We'll see...

Honestly I mean I guess it would depend what you were doing in them. I run in them and love them and they have awesome sound. Now would I use them during my martial arts and stuff? Not likely but if you wanna run I don't think I have ever had a pair of s11's fall off so I would recommend and I'm not running usually on just flat ground it could be any terrain so I hope that helps ya out.

I haven't tried using them yet at the gym. They seem like they would work awesome though, because I rest the frame right above my ears and they stay in place very well. I would not be able to answer as far as the sweat issue.

They're great for volleyball & jogging- so I am going to say yes for tennis.Good support to prevent rolling I the ankle without being to confining or too tight.I hope that helps!

Squats? I have worn mine during squats and they stayed up just fine. Not sure how much compression you're looking for. These are comfortable enough to wear all day (or sleep in) without being tight enough to cause my calves to ache by evening. I really like mine; they do exactly what I need of them.

Yes, but I have not tried for your specific sports requests. I expect it would work, but you will sweat in that area, as the material is not breath-able.You might want consider compression shorts instead. Ie, if you are doing these very active sports, you must not be hurting too bad already.
