Icon14 Here is my take on the Nogi Kingpins

Here is what I thought of the nogi kingpins. Great shorts.

A stretch panel is typically in the crotch of shorts and just allows for more movement. check out some of my other reviews to see one.

Ahh alright cool, do the nogi's restrict your movement because of it? Or maybe because of the little split seams?

no the nogis were not restrictive. Although I have skinner legs so there are very few shorts that restrict my movement. A stretch panel just makes shorts move even better.

The only shorts I have encountered that didnt have a stretch panel that couldnt have benefited from one are the jaco shorts. The entire short is made of a stretch panel like material.

Hmm so out of all the shorts you've tried, what are you favorite ones and why?

And have you tried Venum, Hayabusa or ADX?

Ahh I see, it seems like out of all the Reviews, the Warriors seem the "best" since of the minimal cons.

Nice reviews by the way, but now im stuck between like 5 shorts haha

Yeah the warriors are nice. Just wait I have jaco shorts and the sprawl fusion-s which are both very nice. They are some of the nicest I have come across
