The Youalso (or Hotlion as the screen print on the leg says) shorts are made in PRC (china). The shorts are made with a 80% nylon and 20% spandex fabric. I did not find any fabric or stitching flaws when I took them out of the bag. I am not a fan of the screen print on the outside. I am a normal 10/12, but I wanted good thigh compression, so I got the medium. These shorts go almost to my knee, and support my thighs and rump with a good compression grip. I would size up if you want a less tight fit. These shorts did pass my squat test, but the waistband did slide down on me. They are comfortable for all day wear and on a jog/run (I use an exercise belt to keep the waist band in place on my jogs). These are good shorts I can recommend.4 stars
