I must be honest, I don't wear these pants for running, I use them whilst doing martial arts training. I'm a slim 43 year old bloke and to be honest when I train now I get more aches and pains than I used to and I do find that compression shorts help my recovery. I have a set of full length pants, which are too hot to wear at the moment and a couple of pairs of mid thigh length ones I was hoping that these 3/4 length ones would be a good compromise and they have proved to be.
They fit quite tightly (which is the point) and have a draw sting at the waist (I'm a 30/32 and had no problems with them being too tight around the waist) they come down to just below the knees and you can feel the compression all the way down to the bottom of the pants. I was a bit concerned about the small zipped pocket at the back of the shorts, but when doing sit-ups I couldn't feel it. The material did a reasonable job of transporting moisture off my skin (unfortunately in my case that was straight onto my martial arts kit). The best thing I can say about them is that when I was training I couldn't even feel that they were there, they just provide a reasonable amount of compression to the muscles and allow me to train vigorously.
These are exactly what I was after, a light weight set of 3/4 length compression pants - the compression is provided by spandex so if you are after really tight fitting compression shorts these probably won't be for you. I have neoprene compression gear for when my legs really need it (cycling in my case), but they don't provide the flexibility I need when doing martial arts training.

From the manufacturer
Ultrasport Men’s Compression Pants Rainbow / Running Pants / Sport Pants, ¾ Capri Pants
Please note:
The material of these trousers has a high compression effect (compression=pressure). It is therefore normal that the trousers are a bit tricky to put on and they have a very tight fit. The material grips the skin through the warmth produced by exercising without losing any of its compression effect.
Ultrasport Men’s Compression Running/Sport Pants
Made of 80% polyamide and 20% elastane. The material provides a high compression effect and is also very elastic to provide an optimal freedom of movement. This particularly tight yet elastic fit promotes blood circulation while stabilising and supporting the muscles and joints. Regular exercising in the Ultrasport Compression Running trousers improves endurance and leads to faster regeneration.
The quick dry function and the high breathability of the material combined with the mesh inserts in the knee area provide the perfect wear climate especially during longer exercising sessions. The cord band in the elastic waistband provides the perfect fit even when moving quickly. A zip pocket provides space to store small items. Reflective prints heighten visibility in bad lighting conditions. The single-colour Ultrasport Compression running trousers have multicoloured frictionless flat seams which make the trousers very versatile to combine and create an attractive, trendy look. The trousers are ideal for professional, trained runners and also for those who wish to become one!
Ultrasport Compression Clothing from the Rainbow Series
Ultrasport presents innovative exercise gear for pros and amateurs with the compression running/exercise clothing from the "Rainbow" series. The technical properties combined with the high compression effect provided by the upper material promotes circulation and the perfect wear climate. This improves the nutritional values in the muscles. The more oxygen the muscles receive, the higher their endurance capacity. The release of pressure on the metabolic cycle saves energy and therefore reduces the time needed for regeneration. Additionally, muscles and joints are supported, which reduces the danger of injury. The Ultrasport "Rainbow" series offers short and long sleeve shirts as well as running trousers in various lengths for women and men.

Snug, but with reason - these are great for jogging/running or even on an exercise bike/rowing machine.
