Another triple review.
I'll start with my
Shock Doctor Compression shorts and Cup.
I originally ordered this and a white belt from
Ron at SSFGear.com so do pick one up from him, he's a standup guy and always takes care of us here at G&E with his great service.
Prior to ordering this item I was wearing bike shorts, then a jockstrap with cup ontop of that, underneath my SPRAWL's or whatever I had been rolling in that night. It worked, but this is a much more convienient and comfortable setup. The shorts don't ride up on me, and the cup is the right size in proportion to what pants you order, though you can always substitute your cup with the one they give you in the Shock Docs.
The cup is plastic with a ****l plate running down the front, and the edges are made of rubber, which sits comfortably in the pouch. I can't really explain, like, how it sits against your package but it hasn't given me any problems yet.
I give the product a 10/10, it was the first style compression short to come out like this with the pouch for the cup I know alot of G&E use them, so right on!
Pick one up at
www.ssfgear.com today, or sacrifice your balls to satan.
ASICS Cael Sanderson Version 1
My original pair of Cael's, since I bought these ASICS has released a version 2, which I do not have.
I can tell you these are great quality wrestling shoes, the rubber grips on the bottom (which I realise I should of taken a photo of now) are great, help me push through my takedowns and keeps my ankle steady. Quality goods here, but ASICS have been making shoes for years so you'd expect as much.
The Cael's use a weird lace support system, you basically have the laces then a cover which is a material that covers over one half, velcros down, then another pieces that velcros over the missing half, it works well and hasnt come loose for me ever yet. I tried to take a photo but I can't get the lighting right so this will have to do.
Here's Caels signature, for those who don't know, he's one of the best wrestlers of all time.
Overall 9/10, only because the closure system although effective, I worry how long the velcro will potentially last. I'd rather a loop down secure system, something I'm less likely to doubt.
I picked these up, and all my other wrestling gear at
www.eastbay.com, fast, effective and safe shipping anywhere in the world.
Knee Pads in next post.
