I have never liked shorts that are tight enough around my thighs to hold up anything. I know the literature (and advertising) talk of compression this and that, but it has always felt to me that compression was working against me. Good thing is that I am long and thin, so anything I purchase that is long enough will be big enough that the elastic on the shorts doesn't compress. And does not hold warmers up. And since I have to keep my knees warm or go in for 3rd party joints, the idea of using the non-stylish method that always works is a no-brainer.
