Soffe XT-46 Men's MMA Short

I have had these shorts for about a year now. I thinks that an appropriate amount of time for a decent review. I came across these shorts while buying my daughters cheerleading shorts. I decides to buy them because of the price point. I had been spending $50 to $80 on shorts for CrossFit only to have my legs breakout the inseams during squat intensive WODs. If I bought the next size up I would spend a large portion of my WOD time pulling my pant up. I was about to say to hell with it and start working out in compression shorts only. These shorts were my last hope. When they arrived I was concerned about the strap that secures the front. The strap approximately 1.5" wide and very heavy duty hook and loop tape. In fact, all of the material is heavy duty, right down to the spandex expanding inseam. My concern was that the hook and loop tape would dig into my stomach during squats and TTB. With that in mind I tried them on and was pleased to see that the went on smoothly, and the hook and loop tape fit neatly together. I performed some air squats in the mirror and much to my excitement the the side cut allowed my quad and hip to flex freely. Any quadizillas out there will appreciate this feature. With my initial test complete I decided I would put these shorts through their paces at the following days WOD, The short performed far better at full speed than I expected. Squats, box jumps, TTB, and runs are never hindered. The durability is off the charts. My first and second pair are about a year old and still going strong. I am hard on stuff and these shorts take the punishment. I have since bought three more pair and have another pair in my cart for purchase as I write this. If you are a CrossFitter sick of spending big bucks on stuff that should matter, these are the shorts for you. If you have large quads that blow shorts out, look no further than these shorts.

Some people are saying that these aren't true to size and that they just don't fit. Yes, they fit a bit snug, but who wants to be boxing or working out with pants that drop to your knees halfway thru a workout? If you are overweight, maybe you should buy a larger pair of these or look to basketball shorts, since these have no elastic in them. I have 2 pairs of these and 2 more on order, that I cycle throughout the week. They are great to also run in. The cuts in the side allow for a much greater range of motion. So if you want a quality pair of shorts that will last thru tough strenuous workouts and many machine washes, then go ahead and buy yourself some of these. Or you could always use these as a motivation to cut some of that weight around the midsection. Yahtzee!

I'm getting back into fighting, and after a long search for something comfortable to wear, decided I'd take a chance and order the XT-46 shorts from Soffe here. The thing is, I have one of those stupid waist sizes. A size 30 is a tiny bit too tight for me, and a 31 is too loose (I guess I'm a 30.5). Still, I went with the medium size, hoping that the velcro waist and string on the inside would help me out if the shorts were too loose.Amazingly, they fit perfectly!I'm 5'11" and 155 lbs, and the shorts are just slightly above my knees. The material is a lot more comfortable than I was expecting too, similar to your average swimming trunks. The velcro waist and crotch ensures that the shorts will stay on you securely. I was a little thrown off by the string being on the inside, since I'm used to having it on the outside of my old gi pants, but it's great and was an extra help in making sure the shorts fit me. What I loved about these the most is the colored parts on the inside of each leg (whatever color option you get, mine were grey). These can stretch and make it easier to move if someone's got you by the leg of your shorts. It's very similar to what Hayabusa has on their combat shorts.Moving around, stretching, kicking and throwing knee attacks is a breeze. The shorts don't have any pockets or anything on the outside that could be used against you when rolling- they're strictly for MMA! There is, however, a tiny pocket inside on the right side of the waist for your keys. It's very small and closes with velcro. I've put my keys in there when jogging and didn't experience any discomfort.The only drawback is that these are incredibly baggy. They flow like a skirt kinda when you're walking around, so they may look kinda dumb if you wear them out and about. On the mat though, they get the job done.

Who needs 70 dollar MMA shorts? These work just fine! They function as any pair of MMA shorts should - durable strong material, no external pockets, buttons, zippers. String on the inside to keep things tight. Velcro lined zipper and waist. There's a small pocket on the inside, big enough to hold maybe a few bucks cash and a house key. But don't be that guy / gal if you roll with this crap inside your pockets.I am a beginner, so I was looking for a good pair of fight shorts to get things started right. I purchased a pair of these shorts and I plan on ordering more in the future! I got the Medium shorts, as I am 5'7 140 lb (Typically I wear 30 - 32 inseam) and the shorts go down at the knee, if not a tiny bit past the knee.**Edit 10/29/13I ended up purchasing another pair of shorts, but got a small this time around. Small fits me perfectly, and the shorts fit just slightly lower than the product image shows. About knee height.

These fit me perfectly! They're really light and super comfy. You can move around in them with perfect ease! I am planning to take some MMA classes, but so far I've only worn these for working out and yoga. They work great for all of it! :) Also, I really like that the waist is adjustable. There are drawstrings on the inside of the waist, and you can tie them and then fasten the shorts with the velcro strips. These shorts also have a fly which is fastened with velcro as well, which I really love. Anyway, I am super happy with my purchase!

Comfortable

Despues de más de un año de uso en entrenamie tos lo recomiendo mucho. Es muy comodo, se ajusta bien, la tela es de excelente calidad, suabe y comoda. Perfecto para manio rar bien con las piernas y el velcro se ajusta super bien a diferentes anchos de cintura.

Perfect fit. I love these shorts and great shorts.

Great value. Does the job.

Products are well made but the sizes aren't really accurate for North Americans. Would recommend going at least 2 sizes up.
