Tapout Long Shorts review (pics)

today i recieved my 2 tapouts long shorts that i orderd. i believe they were shipped saturday and i got them on thursday. so it was pretty much 3-4 days and i live up here in alaska.

as far as quality and material, they are great! just as good as my sprawls if not better. i was surprised how well they worked for me while kickboxing. no problems when throwing knees or high kicks. i definetly recommend these style of tapout shorts to grapplers, strikers, and MMA practioners.

since my order was over 100 bucks i also recieved a free DVD. but they didnt have the DVD i requested so they sent me another one (superbrawl event including fights with Mayhem Miller, Denis Kang, Joe Doerkson, Cabbage, Justin Eilers, etc.) but they included a little note that said the orginal DVD i requested was currently out of stock and will be shipped to me soon.

and once again sorry if my english isnt so great.

looks good bro. I love Tapout short. lots of room and are very comfortable. The only thing that bugs me is the velcro sometimes but excellent short none the less.

I've been training for years but never bought any specialized gear. I'm interested in picking up some new shorts.
Are the Tapout shorts really as good as the Sprawl shorts? I can't find any product specs on Tapout shorts design. Where Sprawl hypes their design more than their color scheme. I'm curious your opinion.

Nice...quick shipping, 2 free dvd's? Seems like you got a pretty good deal . Not a fan of Tapout though, that's just me.

What about the sizing, I use a 34" but buy 36" because i like my grappling shorts to be really lose.... are they pretty true to fit?!?!

All my OTMs are 34", My Sprawls are 36" but i like the way the 34" fit too, my GracieBJJ shorts are 36" and fit kinda perfect.... so i'd like to know, i'm planning on getting some TapOuts

My Tapouts seem to run a little big, where Sprawl seems to run small.

my sprawls are all size 30 and fit perfectly. my tapouts are size 32 and also fit well (just a little loose but no too much)

so im gonna have to agree with PT Sandman ^^^^

Very nice. Tapout gets a lot of flak on this forum, but I like them.
