MMA Gear Review: Combat Sports Fight Shorts - Seek and Destroy
Written by Mike on November 1, 2008 – 10:53 am -I wanted to review Combat Sports International shorts labelled “Seek and Destroy” because they can be purchased for only US $19.99. That is a savings of about $20 from the original price of $39.99 from some online mma gear merchants. Even before the price cut, the shorts are already less expensive than more popular brands of board shorts for mixed martial arts.
mma gear: Combat Sports Fight Shorts - Seek and Destroy
The shorts are mostly made out of some sort of spandex-like material. This appears to be the same sort of fabric used for the crotch and outer leg area of other fight shorts. Other people I know do not complain of the material but it does feel funny against my skin for whatever reason. Of course, during actual sparring I forget whether this mma gear from Combat Sports is comfortable or not. So although I feel funny wearing the shorts, it’s not that uncomfortable when rolling. Anyhow, I do not actually wear the shorts outside the gym or in the beach.
The Seek and Destroy fight gear have two drawstrings for the waist area. One ties in front and one at the back. I have to tie the drawstrings of this mma gear in a special way so that the knots formed are not aligned. If one knot is directly in front of the other, there is a noticeable lump below my belly button. Unlike the feeling I have with the fabric, the lump does make certain positions in jiu-jitsu training uncomfortable like being mounted or being in side control.
One more thing is that the lettering on the left side of the shorts is unattractive to say the least. The black and white Combat Sports logo on the right leg, on the other hand, are quite nice.
The above are only minor discomforts. Seek and Destroy mma gear are a good deal from Combat Sports International at only $19.99, about half the original price. At full price, other brands with superior and more comfortable designs should be considered.
