Help deciding on some shorts

Vector_X · 03-12-2008, 03:13 PM

Ok here is the issue. Typically I train straight Muay Thai and thus wear Muay thai shorts, but I'd like to get a pair of MMA shorts just to mix things up. I currently do own 1 pair of MMA shorts, which are a pair of plain looking tapout shorts(green with a brown stripe at the bottom of 1 leg) that I got on clearance for like 20-25 bucks. So what are the best MMA shorts for kicking, but are still decent for grappling? Only thing I won't buy are Fairtex MMA shorts because thats the brand of my gloves and that's just a little too much matching for me to be comfortable with.

If you want some cheap ones, get cagewalk shorts. If you want to spend a bit more, get sprawls.

The money really isn't such a big deal so has anyone tried out the new Sprawl shorts yet?

Everyone I've heard from that has tried them think they're great. I've only got the originals and the Flexfighter XTs. The originals weren't that good because of the small waist and the fact that they didn't expand but since then Sprawl has been putting out nothing but top notch stuff IMO. I can't wait to get a pair of the G-Flex when I have the cash.

the new g-flexs are the best shorts ever imo, even without the grip panels....and honestly you dont even notice the grip panels unless ur doin an omoplata or somethin like that

sounds like I need to pick me up a pair of these.

Sprawls for sure.

Depends on what you wanna look at. Warrior wear makes nice shorts but they're more out there design whise. I personaly love my forty thieves and nogis. Both very low key. If you were looking for something you know you'll like, get sprawls. If you're willing to make a choice, get ones you like to look at too..

You can't get much more low key than the g-flex Sprawls in plain black. The Nogi shorts are very cool looking though. If you want shorts you can train in and wear as shorts on the street Nogis kick the crap out of Sprawls.

You cant really go wrong with Sprawl shorts!
