Some quick comparisons for all the gear heads out there. Left to right they are Koral Shogun Shorts, Sprawl V flex, Triumph United and Clinch Gear.
Length:
- Koral's are the shortest as they sit above the knee.
- Clinch Gear's are next as they sit in the middle of my knee.
- Triumph's are next as they sit below the knee.
- Sprawl's are the longest with about a half and inch on the Triumph's
Waist all 36 inch waist from tightest to loosest(is that a word?):
- Koral's are the tightest. I have never come close to a 38 in anything and I would need a 38 in these shorts.
- Clinch Gear's are next with a very snug but great fit. I would order your exact pant size. If your jeans are snug at 34 get a 34.
- Tie with Triumph's and Sprawl's being pretty much exactly the same. Next time I order either of these I will go with a 34 waist. Both have a drawstring so it is not an issue.
Closure system:
- Clinch Gear's have the best closure system hands down. With adjustable waistband versions coming out soon I expect them to become even better.
- Triumph United are next with a very similar closure system to Clinch's. They also have a drawstring which is nice. It's close but Triumph comes up a bit short.
- Sprawl's are next. I always thought the closure system was nice until I tried to 2 above. nothing really wrong with them but there is room for improvement.
- Koral's are last as they would be more comfortable if I cut off the velcro, most of the waistband and the drawstring and just cinched them on with a crappy belt.
Comfort:
- Clinch Gear takes the cake here. Great materials, great closure system.
- Tie with Sprawls and Triumph's. Both fit very similar and have very similar comfort levels. Triumph's are very similar in most ways to Sprawls.
- Koral....I have said enough.
Overall:
- clinch Gear. Flawless in every facet.
- Tie between Sprawls and Triumph. These shorts are very similar. If you love Sprawls you will love triumphs.
- Koral.
