just got a pair of the whites in the mail minutes ago, and I'm rocking `em right now. Sadly, it's going to be a few days before I get to train in them, but I wanted to hurry up and post a few things, in case anyone is holding out...
nice fit-- true to usual size you'd get comfy jeans in. roomy waist is easily adjusted for with both drawstring and a multi-piece velcro connection. Neat configuration on this, Ron. I apologize for not having a camera, but I guess I'd describe it as a multi-latch kinda thing. the velcro isn't just one flap like the sprawls, but 2, one over another. This way, I'm assuming, you can make a sturdier adjustment on your waist size than the drawstring alone.
The elastic on the sides is nice, I especially like the wider band it has-- reminds me of boxing shorts. Stretch panels seem to be the same as sprawls are featuring these days. Material is comfy and seems sturdy, though not as stretchy as v-flexes. Side seam cuts are good length. Seat is roomy when on the ground, I foresee no restrictions to movement on the ground or when kicking.
forgive the narrow frame of reference here, in comparing these to only sprawls. I will gladly compare these to nogi's shorts whenever the pair I ordered arrive.
initial reaction: fine shorts, I'll likely add more to my collection as payday allows. These will easily make the regular rotation of training wear w/ my sprawl v-flexes. The price only adds value to an already nice pair of shorts.
