This jock is an excellent jockstrap, however I would classify it under more of a casual wear category rather than athletic gear.  The pouch holds and carries your equipment exactly like brief underwear, in that it's very comfortable and supportive.  When it comes to performance athletic gear, I prefer a jockstrap that grips/holds you in place while active and this jock does not offer that level of hold.  The best performance based jockstraps that I own are the Bike Performance jocks.  This 2(x)ist sport jock is more comfort based for everyday wear.  Don't get me wrong, it is very comfortable and I would wear it to work everyday.  However, I wouldn't necessarily have this included in my gym gear.  Also as one other reviewer mentioned, if you do get hard wearing this jock, your outline will definitely show.  Not a bad feature if you want to get noticed.

The bold coloring of these sport jocks is what initially caught my attention.  I purchased the blue & yellow contrasting colors.  Definitely an eye catcher, along with the red & black colored jock.  Both the rear straps and waistband are extremely comfortable and go almost unnoticed in terms of feel.

All things considered, this is a great jock.  Would I purchase another one of these jocks?  Yes, and I probably will.

*UPDATE* - with over a week's worth of day long wear, I have to change my rating from 4 stars to 5.  The level of comfort that this jock offers for every day wear is far superior to any other jock that I've worn.  I have already purchased another one and am currently debating on picking up the other colors as well.
