FAQ
How should it fit?
Snug and locked in through the hips and thighs, but not restrictive. You should be able to hit full depth without the fabric fighting your setup. If it feels like it's cutting off circulation, size up.
What if I'm between sizes?
Size up. Compression gear should feel secure, not distracting.
What's it made of?
89% premium nylon, 11% elastane. Durable structure from the nylon, stretch and snap-back from the elastane.
Can I squat and deadlift in it?
Yes. Built for squats, pulls, conditioning, warmups, and repeated training.
Will the waistband roll down?
No. The wide-band waistband is designed to hold position through the hinge, the pull, and the reset.
Does it have pockets?
Yes. Low-profile side pockets on both sides for secure, minimal-bounce storage between sets.
Can I wear it under training shorts?
Yes. The shorts work well under training shorts or on their own depending on your preference.
Is it see-through?
The fabric is a substantial black compression blend designed for training coverage. Choose the size that gives you compression without over-stretching the fabric.
Can I wear them outside the gym?
You can, but they're built for training. The compression fit is intentional. If you want them for casual wear, size up.
Will the compression loosen over time?
The 89/11 blend is chosen for durability and snap-back. Wash cold and hang dry to protect the elastane.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash cold. Hang dry or tumble dry low. No bleach, no high heat.
Shorts or pants?
Shorts if you want compression through the hips and thighs without full-leg coverage — better for warmer sessions or layering under shorts. Pants if you want full-leg compression or more coverage in a cold gym.
Is this for recovery or injury prevention?
No medical claims here. Antifragile is training gear: localized compression, four-way stretch, and a secure fit for work under the bar.
Questions lifters ask
How does sizing work?
Measure first, then match your number to that product's sizing guide — every size we publish is a real measurement, not a guess.
Between two sizes? Size down for more compression and support; stay true to the chart for comfort over longer sessions. Sizing detail
How fast is shipping?
In-stock U.S. orders leave within 1–2 business days and usually arrive 2–5 business days after pickup.
Free U.S. shipping over $150; below that it is calculated at checkout. International runs 7–20 business days at the carrier's own rate, no markup. Shipping detail
What is the return policy?
30 days, on unworn, unwashed items with all tags and packaging attached.
Start it from your account — open the order, click "request return" — and we refund the original payment method once it is back and inspected. Size changes ship back on you; our mistakes are on us. Full return terms
Is Stoic gear legal for competition?
Yes for USPA and USAPL — our belts, knee sleeves and wrist wraps are built to competition spec.
They are also permitted in IPF-recognised competition through 31 December 2026; from 1 January 2027 they are not eligible for IPF-sanctioned events. Federations differ, so check your meet's rules. Competition detail
What if it arrives damaged, or fails?
That is on us — a replacement or a full refund, plus a prepaid return label, at no cost to you.
Email help@stoicperformance.com with your order number and a photo. Gear used hard for years does eventually wear out and that is not a defect, but if you are not sure, send the photo anyway. Warranty detail
How do I get told when my size is back?
If a size shows sold out, use the notify option on this page and we will email you the moment that size and colour is back. Signing up for a stock alert does not subscribe you to marketing email.
