Icon13 Century MMA Shorts

I am sure I am not the only one on here with a MMA Shorts semi-addiction. We have a wholesale account with Century so I thought for $20 I will try their new MMA shorts. I ordered the green with the brown sides. (traditional style)

Normally I post pictures but the shorts were sent back about 10 minutes after I tried them on.

Made of thin nylon. Weak seams. Just feel like they will rip apart and don't provide a confident feeling. You could almost fold these up and put them in your pocket the nylon is so thin.

Big problem on fit. I wear a 32 in all my other fight shorts and they fit just fine. With a cup on I could not get the velcro fly closed on these shorts. These are made for very narrow people!!! I am not huge by any means but no way can I wear these.

Also the fancy scroll stuff on the side is embroidery and the Century logo is screen printing! They mix it up so it has a real low quality look to it.

Bottom line don't give in to temptation because you can get a deal!!!!

(good news is Century carries Sprawl and we get a discount)

It's century gear, why did you need to try it out to find out if it's crap? The brand name alone tells you that.

century does have a few good products. I've got a pair of boxing gloves they no longer make that are way better than any of their others.
