Engineer’s Notes

The most advanced compression shorts for men ever built. The Tactical II Series is an upgraded baselayer that's built to handle any terrain, type or intensity of training. Made for athletes of all stripes but built to perform at professional levels, the Tactical II Series will see you through every lap, jump, lunge and squat by removing the biggest hurdle: discomfort.

We used eco-friendly, hard-hitting performance fabric that's built to take a beating and then some, and paired it with smart designs to make this the perfect athletic underwear for men. Designed for sports, workout, running, basketball, fitness, cycling, baseball, tennis, weight training, surfing, squat, football, crossfit, metcon, HIIT and all other sports.

Inspired by the smart grip systems in high-end cycling apparel, we created Power Grip - laser-cut wide leg grippers lined with soft silicone for incredible hold. The legs will never ride up or bunch, so no more awkwardly tugging your pants to pull the legs down. The Power Grip also stays hidden, even under tighter pants, so no more visible underwear lines either.

Keep your phone, cards, keys and everyday carry dry - even during the sweatiest workouts - with 2 phone pockets lined with stretchy waterproof fabric. The pockets keep your phone high on your hip, locked down and out of the way during dynamic workouts. Each pocket is specifically made for iPhone 13 and 13 Pro Max sized phones.

The Tactical II Series is cut for a compression-fit pouch to keep your "goods" bounce-free - welcome to adjustment free workouts.

Almost 5 stars...

Shorts are terrific and I want to give them 5 stars. Price is great. Quality is holding up thus far. Love the leg grippers. Only issues is that there's too many features that aren't needed. Don't need 2 pockets. Don't need a fly hole. Just make a foundational compression short, with no frills, and you have a hands down winner. And if I'm getting picky, I'd love a shorter inseam version as well. Good job All Citizens... you're almost there. :)

Two Bike Rides Review

Tactical II Compression Shorts.
The shorts are comfortable, I rode around 30 miles per ride and had no discomfort. The side pockets are not something I would use for my phone. I thought the shorts were American made but found out they had to go through customs. I'm not sure if I will buy from "All Citizens" again.

High quality

Loving these so far. Need to get more asap!

Wonderful for long distance running

I'm training for a marathon later this year and these have been one of my favorite running garments. I do wish for the side pockets could become a little deeper as my phone doesnt fit as well as i would like but the overall garment is great and very moister wicking.

The perfect pair

I have been on the prowl for the right pair of compression shorts for a long time. These are by far and way the right pair. Great fit, great features. Will buy again.

Compression shorts

Comfortable

How good could these be if they had the paradise pocket too

Awesome fit!

Great fitting shorts that keep everything where it's supposed to be. Made my runs very comfortable with no riding up. The two pockets were an added bonus. Would definitely recommend.

They are great tactical shorts

Great tactical shorts, the boxer briefs are even better

These are very soft and comfortable.

The value on these boxer/briefs is amazing. So well made and comfortable. They feel soo soft even after many washings. I really like the "grip" to keep the legs from rolling up. On the longer legs (8" inseam) this isn't really a problem. Over all I just love these boxers. A++

Excellent!

I love these under wear. The grippers on the legs prevent any ride up and they stay comfortable all day.

Comfort Powerhouse
Quick-Access Horizontal Fly

For a faster, more natural movement when nature calls.

No more “over the waistband” or using 2 hands to hold a vertical fly open - just up, down, out, in, done.

Durable, Eco-Friendly, High-Performance Fabric

Built with technical qualities for any sport and activity. Sweat-wicking, quick-drying, 360° stretch, anti-odor, durable, breathable and everything-able.

Made from recycled bottles (two, to be exact) that diverts waste from landfills and oceans and lessens our dependency on fossil fuels.

Reinforced Stress Points

For incredible durability. Stop rips and tears so that you’re never “that guy” doling out wisdom with raggedy underwear.

Center Crotch Seam

Protects from chafing, tames the bulge and makes the outline of your “bits and pieces” less noticeable (some things are better left to the imagination).

Modern Front Piping

For that added touch of sophistication, quality, and craftsmanship. It's the little things, ya know?

Power Grip

Laser-cut wide leg grippers lined with soft silicone for incredible hold. No ride up, no awkwardly tugging your pants to pull the legs down.

Precision Angled Cut

Bottom is cut at an angle for a tighter fit and an even firmer hold. When we say “anti-ride up”, we mean it.

No VUL (visible underwear line)

Laser-cut edges allow Power Grip to be one layer thin - perfect for staying hidden under pants (even tighter-fitting ones).

Thick, No-Roll Waistband

Stays put on your waist and doesn’t roll over or slide down. No more plumber’s crack.

No-Bounce Compression Pouch

Compression fit pouch to keep the boys from swingin’ and bouncin’ during workouts.

Waterproof phone pockets

Keep your phone, cards, keys and everyday carry dry, even during the sweatiest workouts. We lined stretchy waterproof fabric in both phone pockets to keep sweat off your gear.

The pockets on each side keep your phone high on your hip, locked down and out of the way during dynamic workouts.

Designated pockets specifically made for iPhone 13 (right side) and 13 Pro Max-sized phones (left side).

Free Motion Gusset

For a complete range of motion and unencumbered stretch. Go ahead, attempt that split.

Mesh Breathe Zones

Micro vents for more airflow and uncompromising ventilation where you need it most (between the legs and on the lower back).

Bye, swamp ass.

Wedgie-Proof Fit

A modern fit that stops... well, wedgies.

Understated Waistband

Minimalism speaks volumes over loud branding (and it generally looks better, too).

Durable, Flatlock Seams

Durable seams engineered for action and then some. Lays flat against your skin to minimize chafing and blends in seamlessly. (Sorry, we had to).

7.5-inch inseam

Hits above the knee for complete thigh coverage and no ride up.
