Tapout Long and boardshorts

Well i just tried out tapout shorts and really I dont see what all the fuzz is about...

Here in Iceland there is noway of finding good fightwear so i purchased a couple of shorts for me and my friends to train and use for swimming and stuff. I already have 2x Koral VT shorts wich are much better

The price was a little high about 55$ for boardshorts and the longshorts about 50$ the quality isn´t that good in the tapout shorts and i really dont see anything good about them execpt they look ok and maybe are good for swimming and have good leg room.

The stitching of the shorts is poor and there are loose ends here and there.

Overall: i dont like training in them but they are comfortable to wear when you go swiming or jump into cold rivers here in iceland hehehehe. You can get much better shorts for the price of these so i would not recomend tapout shorts... I really dont see why people like these

I own a pair and I am very happy with them. If you were looking for something better to hold up more in training then id suggest Sprawl

lets face it, tapout, for many people, have the most fun / conventioal / stylish patterns and graphics. and are a descent, pretty robust fight short.

the marketing will either lure you in or push you away, or if you dont see much or it be irrelevent. the price isnt much more than most shorts, $10 maybe.

I own a pair, cause I like how they look, and there way better to train in regular shorts. so slightly poser reasons but hey, I dont care
