Koral VT-Pro Urban Camo

I just got these in, so I'm going to go ahead and start a review. I won't be able to train in them yet, most likely won't until next week. The first thing I will say, is they don't look nearly as good as they do on the website.

Although, they fit PERFECT and are very comfortable. I wore them for about 30 or 45 minutes, and they are very comfortable. The material is awesome, and so far I have no complaints. We will see how they perform in the gym. My only concern is that some of the logos will wear off in training, but that's not an issue.

Yeah... I definitely agree about them not looking as good in person.

Did you find them to be long enough and true to size? The 32s I got were very tight, felt somewhere in between a 28 and 30. They were also very short relative to other board shorts.

well..aren't the VT-Pro meant for grappling...could be why they're shorter then other boardshorts. I also agree with you guys. My old instructor had the shorts..and they look 10x better in person. The pics don't justify how nice they look

LOTS of board shorts are sold as "grappling shorts" and none of them are as short as these... the size 32s I got were approximately 3" shorter than the shortest pair of board shorts I've seen, well above the knee.

The sizing was so completely wrong the only way I can figure to explain it is that they were mislabeled.

odd... I sorta remember that my instructors shorts were short as well.. I'll have to double check when I visit the gym he teaches at. (Hoping he wears them)

I've got both urban and jungle camo in mediums which is like a 34. I checked the small and I thought itd be a bit tight (im 32), I dont think these come in waist sizes. They hang off my hips at knee length when I wear them normally or I can tighten it up with the string for a better fit but then it scrunches up.

The logos of my first one have come off a bit but I now wash them inside out (machine wash) and they seem to be fine.

embroidery people

embroidery is the true endgame.

I got the jungle camo and black and have washed them many times, used them in kicking and boxing excersises both Muay Thai and Taekwondo. I weare them to BJJ class since my GI is somewhere in the customs. But the Logos are still like new and i LOVE THESE SHORTS!
