I recently got a pair of these as well. I've rolled in them 2 or 3 times so far and I feel they are the best fight shorts I've ever tried. However I think they are more suited for taller/thinner guys due to the way they fit.

The legs are as baggy and lose as most other brands and the side seam isn't as high up either. This might restrict movement on guys with bigger legs etc. The waist is snug as well...I normally wear a 32 in most shorts and I these 32's fit spot on but are a tad tighter than usual in the waist area. It doesn't bother me at all since my waist is fairly small but again I could see this being an issue for the larger guys that wear a 32.

I'm 6'3" and weigh anywhere from 170 to 175....and these fit pretty much perfectly for my build.

Construction.....they are super sturdy and well made. Stitching is strong and the material is very very durable. Thick too.....they are paper thing like other shorts which I like. The velcro/drawstring system is awesome! Once these are on they stay on! And, with that rubberized waistband your rashguard stays tucked in very well.

They are kind of expensive but I think they are worth it....if you like the fit.

I'm going to take the plunge next pay check. Always loved their shorts.

I splurged today and ordered a pair, hoping they may arrive for grapplers quest this weekend. I will try and get a picture of them on me. I'm 5'10 140-155lb (varies).

Cheers

Can you high kick with ease and do full splits (or sprawl easily, if splits isn't your cup of tea)? I ask, because I've heard some negative remarks about the shorts' in that area.
As I said earlier, I have yet to grapple in these shorts, but I have had no problems with flexibility whilst wearing them, I wear them for full workouts and muay thai sparring and class. The fabric's heavier than on Sprawls, and feels a little stiffer, but still no flexibility issues at all.

Hayabusa is one of those companies where you get what you pay for. Yes, they are more expensive, but they are awesome. $65 for shorts might seem like a lot but they are built to last. I'd rather have 1 good pair of shorts than 3 that fall apart but where cheap.

Would a 32 for someone that is 5'10 140-155lbs be too big? Someone said order a size up because they run small then I read a few posts up a guy thats 6'3" 170 rocking a size 32?

I completely screwed up my order @ budovideos now :|

I'm still waiting for someone else to confirm that Karo cut his shorts in the fight against Alves. Maybe I was seeing things. lol

I ordered these shorts about a month ago and love them. Jaymitch, i'm 5'10 160 and i ordered a 30, my jean size are 29-30, and the 30 hayabusa fits perfectly. It's a bit snug but it hasn't hinder my moments at all.

I think I own a pair. How do I tell? What's different between these and last years' model? Like the chinese character on it?
