MMA Gear Review: Truth Fightwear Board Shorts
Written by Mike on September 22, 2008 – 11:30 am -Several mma gear companies exist with prominent brands displayed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and other mixed martial arts organizations. An average price of US $40 to 50 for a new pair of shorts from one of these companies however, can be quite expensive. This is particularly more so among beginners. Such a price for shorts, plus about $50 for gloves, maybe $120 on a jiu-jitsu gi and the gym membership fees can be a bit too much for a potential student to afford.
We have already reviewed an affordable pair of mma gloves on this site. From the same company, Truth Fightwear also has affordable board shorts for use as gear during training in mma or submission wrestling. Check out one design in the image below:

See other designs (such as red/black, black, green, gray camo and others) at THEIR OFFICIAL WEBSITE.
At only US $24.99, this and other designs are about half the amount of more famous brands of mma gear but with comparable quality. For this price you get a waistband that is tightened with a drawstring but is also elastic for ease of wearing. The latter feature eliminates difficulties with the sizing so buyers can play safe by ordering one size smaller. The fabric is very comfortable and seems to allow breathability. Sweat is also wicked off so there is no feeling of wearing a soggy pair of shorts to hamper training. One more feature in Truth Fightwear shorts are the black stretching panels located on the inner and outer thighs. Just like the panels found in other mma gear, these are made so that the shorts do not get in the way of high kicks and ground fighting. (Other brands’ approach to this issue is to put slits in their shorts. But this may not be precise enough for some wearers.)
Truth Fightwear is an excellent pair of board shorts at a very affordable price. This is highly recommended mma gear for all who train (in North America, at least).
