So I got my new SSF fight shorts and Thai gloves in the mail. From first impression they felt and looked great.
I will start off with the Fight shorts. The fight shorts look really good, I got the white shorts. Compared to my Sprawls they are a little lighter and a different waist closure. These shorts have a good slit up the outside of the leg. Its got a sturdy velcro waist band closure. At first I didnt tie the inner string and just wore them with using the velcro and the shorts didnt want to stay on my hips, they kept riding up. But after tying the string on the inside, this fixed that problem. If you do happen to get the white shorts, wear some compression shorts underneath, cause you can see pretty good through these things. I have used them at my mma, and krav maga classes. Shorts worked very well over the weekend. Did not restrict during grappling nor did they during high kicks. They have a stretchy inner leg and are a very comfortable short. And at $32 bucks. Well worth it. Good shorts for the price. If you are a Sprawl junkie, then you might not like these shorts as much as your sprawls, becuase of the difference the waist closure. Not a big deal, but if you love how the waist closure is on the sprawl then you might nitpick these. Great shorts none the less. I like them and will prolly use them over my sprawls a lot.
Next off, the SSF Thai gloves. First looking over these gloves, they look great. Very high quality leather and stitching. After putting the gloves on they felt great. Good liner, and very easy to put on with the velcro closure, especially if you are by yourself. I used them this weekend at MMA training and they stood up very well. Also I used them on the heavy bag, also did very well. Have not found anything that I dont like on these. If you like thai gloves then you will love these. These are 16oz gloves and are great for sparring. I have a lot of ppl at my gym looking to buy these gloves in the near future. I let a few ppl borrow them and they loved them as well. Overall great glove and a pretty good price at $70 bucks. If you are looking for a good glove give this product a chance, you will not be let down.
I want to thank Ron at SSF for all this cooperation when ordering these products from him. These are good products. If you are looking for an inexpensive fight short then these are definatly worth buying. If you are looking for a great boxing glove then the SSF Thai gloves are what you are after. High quality and very comfortable. Sorry all pictures were taken with my camera phone. Dont have my digital camera hooked up, but I will try and post some better pics soon. Also I will keep you all updated as I use these products more. Very happy with my new SSF items though
