2XU Reviews

I was trying to buy a pair of compression tights from 2XU, and maybe I just had bad timing, but almost every size I needed was sold out.
I checked again a few days later thinking it might have changed, but it was pretty much the same. Some items still showed up on the site, then once I clicked the size, it said unavailable.
I don’t know, maybe I’m missing something, but it feels a bit frustrating to keep seeing products listed when you can’t actually buy them. Kind of felt like a waste of time.

My order showed up with the right items and sizes, so I’ll give them credit for clearing that bar. One of the colors looked a little different from the photos online, though, which was kind of annoying. It wasn’t a huge deal, but I did expect it to match better. Overall, it was fine, not impressive, but fine.

I bought these from 2xu.com thinking they’d be solid for the gym and running, but the movement just isn’t there. They felt tight in weird places and I kept having to pull them up during squats, which got annoying fast. When I reached out, the response kind of made me feel like I was being talked down to, like I didn’t know how training tights were supposed to fit. Maybe they’re fine if you’re just standing around or doing something super light, but for real workouts they didn’t work for me. Disappointing for the price.

I’ve been using my 2XU tights on runs, and they do dry quickly overall, which I appreciate. But the waistband still feels damp afterward, and for some reason that sticks with me because it makes the whole thing feel less fresh than I expected. They’re definitely good enough to keep wearing, but I guess I was just hoping they’d feel a little more impressive.

I picked up a pair of 2XU leggings for running and I really wanted to love them, but they’ve been kind of disappointing. They feel a little too tight in the wrong spots, and while the waistband seems fine at first, it starts digging in once I’ve been wearing them for a while. The material does feel nice, which makes it even more frustrating because I expected them to be way more comfortable for the price. I still throw them on sometimes, but definitely not for long runs.

I ordered this two weeks ago and the tracking basically hasn’t moved at all. Every time I contact support, I just get told to wait a little longer, which is so frustrating. I needed it for a race, so at this point it’s pretty much useless to me. If shipping is going to be this unreliable, I definitely wouldn’t order again.

I’m still waiting for my refund it’s been really frustrating. It feels like it’s taking forever, and when I reached out to support, I barely got any response. Like, how long is this supposed to take??

I really wanted to like these because 2XU isn’t exactly cheap, but I was disappointed. The leggings are fine, I guess, but they don’t feel much different from cheaper pairs I’ve bought before. After only a few wears, they already seemed to lose that nice feel, which was frustrating. For the price, I expected them to feel way more premium and hold up better. I don’t think I’d buy them again

I ordered my normal size in these compression tights and the fit was just weird. The waist was way too tight but then they were loose behind my knees which made them feel uncomfortable pretty much right away.

I checked the size chart before buying so I thought I was good. Returning them was kind of a pain too but the biggest issue is that the sizing just does not match what they say

I bought a pair of 2XU tights they felt great at first. The fabric was soft and comfortable, so I thought they’d hold up well. But after just a few washes, they started feeling thin and pilling in spots. For the price, I expected way better quality. It’s also frustrating because you feel like you have to follow a bunch of extra steps just to keep them in decent shape, and they still don’t last. Disappointed overall...

I’ll give the 2XU tights credit, they feel good on and the fit is solid. But i’m a bit annoyed because after just a few washes the stitching already started looking rough. They’re still wearable, so it’s not like they completely fell apart, but for the price I really expected them to hold up better. They’re okay, I guess, but definitely not as impressive as I was hoping.

The return process took way longer than I expected, and I’m still waiting on my refund. It felt more frustrating than... I don’t know, just way more trouble than it should’ve been.

I ordered this over a week ago and somehow it still hasn’t shown up. The tracking barely changes, which makes it even more annoying because I don’t really know where it is. I’m trying not to be too dramatic because delays happen, but at the same time this feels way slower than it should be. I was excited to get it, and I do still want to like the whole experience, but the shipping has been disappointing. Not sure I’d order again unless they improve that part.

I bought these tights hoping they’d help my legs feel better after runs, but I can’t say I noticed much of a difference. They do feel well-made and the fit is definitely snug, so maybe they work better for other people, but for me they mostly just felt tight and kind of overpriced. I wanted to like them more, but I probably wouldn’t buy them again.

I couldn’t figure out the sizing on this. It feels like one size fits totally different from the next, almost like they used a different chart for each one. I ordered what I normally wear, but it was way off, and compared to other brands it’s just... yeah. Frustrating.

I haven’t had any major issues with the brand so far. It seems decent enough and gives off a trustworthy vibe. Not much else to say.

I picked up the 2xu tights mostly for running and recovery, and for some reason I was expecting them to feel a little more impressive right away. The compression is definitely noticeable, especially around the calves and thighs, and they do stay in place well while running. My legs also feel a bit less beat up after longer runs, which is nice.
That said, for the price, I’m not totally blown away. After a few washes they started to feel just slightly looser, not bad or unusable, just not quite as firm as they were at first. They’re still good tights, but I’m not sure I’d rush to buy another pair yet.

I mean, the site does the job. I found what I was looking for eventually. But yeah, a few pages were slow to load, and the filters felt kind of awkward. Like, not broken. Just not smooth. Checkout was fine though, no real problems there. I just wish looking through sizes and colors didn’t mean so much clicking around and going back and forth. It’s okay overall. Average online shopping experience.

My first impression of 2XU was disappointing. I ordered from 2XU and ended up needing help with a return, but getting a response was basically impossible. I sent emails and then just waited for days with no real update or clear reply. It’s frustrating because the payment goes through right away, but when you need customer service, it feels like nobody is there.

Wore it for a bit. Got sweaty fast. No airflow really. Just not comfortable.
