REVIEW: Inspirit SPEC MODEL 2 Shorts - White

NEW SPEC MODEL 2

PRICE :US$ 65
COLOR : WHITE
SIZE : Large --- 81 - 85cm (33" - 34")
INSPIRIT fighters official website

Waistband


These shorts are really nice and comfortable, I bought size large as Im in between 32-34" the inspirits fit really nice. The waistband compared to the sprawls is a bit thinner and lighter, but it does it's job and sits on my waist perfect.

Length

Very similar to the Sprawls, they just rest above the knee

Split Seem

The split seems are about 2 inches shorter than the Sprawls

Stitching

The seems on the splits are double stitched. The shorts are very well stitched- no loose bits at all, I doubt it will rip

Inside

Theres a mesh lining inside, I think to stop sweat from discolouring the shorts -Feels nice, no problems restricting movement. unfortunately there is no gumshield pocket like the sprawls, which i would of liked - as I could of put my ipod in them and be able to wear them at the gym.

Crotch

Crotch feels good - But unlike sprawls it has no lycra stretch, but I dont think it will be a big problem doing high kicks and stuff

Logos

The logos on the front and back are embrodied and not printed unlike the previous spec models--On the back it has inspirits website-- which I think is not really need on the shorts. However it doesn't bother me.

Price/ Shipping/ customer service


Cost $65- which is just a bit more than other shorts out there, but I ve seen worse shorts at similar prices. Shipping is always quick with inspirt- always recieve my gear in 4 days- shipping was $10 no taxes

Overall8/10

Pro- Fast shipping, Light, Comfortable waistband, nice length and embrodied logos

Con- No inside pocket, inspirits website logo not needed, the price is higher than other shorts out there at $65

Train in them first.... Then let us know how good/bad they are. They are training equipment first and foremost remember... Though I doubt I'm the only one that's worn split seam shorts to buy groceries ;-)

good review. Nice comparison. Let us know how the hold up to training. I love white shorts but they get dirty real fast. Let us know how they look after a good wash or 5.

Nice Review, curious if they become a bit "see through" from sweat/getting wet.

How bit are you? I wear a 32 in Sprawl but am concerned about the 33-34 Inspirit being too tight around the thighs/hips (I'm 5'9" 200lbs.). If I go a size up will the waist be uncomfortably baggy?
