Men’s Activewear Brands That Are Worth The Money
1. WOLACO, $30 to $98
Ever been working out and have your cell phone crash to the ground from a loose pocket, or ever had to place your phone on the ground because your shorts or pants don’t even have a pocket to begin with. This brand saw a gap in the market and filled it—men’s compression shorts and pant with sweat-proof pockets made to securely stash your cell phone. While their shorts and leggings are most popular, they also make tops, too.
Essential Gear: North Moore 9" Shorts
WOLACO North Moore Compression Shorts
“I’m obsessed with leggings, but it’s so hard to find a pair that fits like a glove and has a functional pocket.
The North Moore Shorts fit perfectly and have two built-in jostle-free pockets! The Clinton Tank is extremely lightweight and so comfortable. Also, I love the colors that it comes in.

- “I love the Wolaco compression tights. I own some of the compression shorts, which are great, but what I love the most is a good 3/4 compression legging. Their material is a little thicker, which makes them durable but also gives them a tighter feel, which I love. Even though they seem to be thicker than some other brands they keep you cool and don't overheat you.”
