Recover · Zero+

Thanks for the honest feedback—this is a frustrating experience, and we hear you. What you’re describing lines up with how the Recover · Zero+ is built, but it clearly isn’t working for you. This style is intentionally designed to feel almost “off-body,” with a zero-pressure pouch, raw-cut edges, and a featherlight StealthFlex™ waistband that adapts rather than grips . That combination can feel very different from a traditional, more anchored waistband and more structured hold—especially if you’re expecting everything to stay firmly in place throughout the day. That said, the waistband rolling and the level of looseness you’re describing shouldn’t feel unmanageable. In some cases, that can come down to how the size is interacting with your build, or simply that this style’s low-tension design isn’t the right match for how you like things to sit and stay put. If you’re looking for something that holds its position more consistently and keeps everything more contained, you’ll likely have a much better experience in one of our more structured styles. The Aspire line, for example, uses Tru-fit Technology to create a more anchored, supportive feel while still keeping that seamless, lightweight comfort. Appreciate you calling this out—it’s exactly the kind of feedback that helps set clearer expectations around a style that’s built to feel very different from anything traditional.

Thanks, Aaron! Love that the Recover Zero+ is hitting that nice and cozy sweet spot for you. Sounds like we've got you curious about the rest of the lineup — that's exactly what we like to hear!

Hello Alexander. Appreciate you giving this a shot (and twice at that). From what you’ve described, it does sound like you’re sitting a bit too large in size — the Zero+ is designed to feel soft and relaxed, but still rely on the right fit to create that natural hold. When it’s too big, the extra space in the rise and pouch can lead to exactly what you’re experiencing. If you ever decide to revisit it down the line, going 1–2 sizes down should give you a much more secure, contoured fit. You might also find the Dominate or Aspire styles a better match if you’re looking for more structure and support — Aspire in particular uses our Tru-fit Technology to adapt more closely to your shape. Really helpful feedback here — especially around the rise and hold.

Thanks, Lawrence! Stoked you're loving the Recover · Zero+. That seamless design on the bottom is exactly what we engineered for—total comfort that disappears once you put them on.

Hi Eric. Thanks for the honest feedback, and glad to hear you're loving the Recover in trunks. You're picking up on something important here - the Zero+ cut does create a different experience with the Recover fabric, and not always in the best way. That wider waistband rolling issue is a real problem, especially when you're trying to get the recovery benefits without dealing with constant adjustments. The Zero+ cut works great for some of our other fabrics, but sounds like it's not the right pairing with Recover's lighter, more relaxed structure. Your experience reinforces that different cuts really do work better with different fabric technologies. Appreciate you taking the time to call this out, as it helps other customers understand how the combinations perform differently.

Thanks for the great review, Daniel! Love hearing that the color, fit, and comfort are hitting the mark for you. That feedback about the pouch depth for everyday wear is really valuable – the Recover Zero+ is definitely optimized for that lounging and sleeping comfort you mentioned, where the design focuses on that barely-there feel and smooth profile. For everyday rotation where you might want a bit more room, you might find our other lines offer different pouch constructions that could be perfect for that use case. Really appreciate you sharing the detailed feedback!
