Triumph United Iceberg Shorts

I decided to give these shorts a try after I bought some Triumph T-shirts a while back. I was very pleased with the quality and comfort of the T-shirts and am quite pleased with the shorts as well.







I just used these for a muay thai workout and was pretty pleased with how they performed. Very comfortable and made of high quality materials. Triple stitched wherever needed and with very slick embroidery work. At times i like the all black and white design but it would be nice to have more colors or designs to choose from. They look great for what they are but some may find them a bit boring. They fall just at or below the knee and have a small split seam. The closure system is probably the highlight of these shorts. It is very similar to clinch Gear's closure system with the fold over piece a the end from the waistline to cinch everything up and keep the velcro away from your skin. They also have a drawstring which is a nice touch. They do have one inside pocket that fits an MP3 player or mouth piece. I got a size 36 just to be safe as I had conflicting info on the fit. They are a little loose and seem to fit very similar in the waistline to Sprawl shorts. I will probably not be using these for hard grappling as they are a bit loose.

Overall I am very happy with the product. Very comfortable ( if clinch gear is a 10 for comfort then Triumph is tied with Sprawl's with a solid 9) nice embroidery, good length, split seam, and very nice closure system I give these shorts a solid 9/10. I would put these right up there with Sprawl's in pretty much every category. Considering these are only their 2nd release/version of shorts I think they are going to be making waves very soon. At a price of $42 you get a nice bang for your buck.
