Per Manufacturer-

First Impression- I have tried out many white shorts and still have yet to find a pair that does not become transparent during and after and intense workout. This particular pair of shorts seems to be thicker than than other shorts that I have tried so hopefully it can pass the test. Looking forward to seeing what these can do.

Construction- Like other products that I have tried from Hayabusa the construction of these shorts is excellent. There was not loose stitching and like I have previously mentioned the material of the shorts themselves is thick and very durable. The logos on these shorts are sublaminated so they will stand up to all of your toughest training. For those of you who have read some of my previous articles you know that I prefer shorts that do not have a split seam. For me it is something that is just not necessary as I have rarely had that effect and sort of performance or technique. Well these shorts do have a spilt seam, and I would say one that is slightly longer than most. They also feature a stretch panel  Now, for one of my favorite things about these shorts, the closure system. The closure system on these is unlike any other system out there. Yes, it has standard hook and loop style Velcro, but that is where any kind of similarities end. It features a very different kind of drawstring system which allows for the tightest fit possible and if that is not enough it has a rubber running along the inside of the waist band which Hayabusa calls their “Guardlock” system. There is also some elastic in the waistband just to get that perfect fit.  These shorts are made out of  100% polyester(90% Mechanical 10% Performance)and are manufactured in Taiwan.

Fit- This where we get to see if all those features these shorts have actually work. I am here to tell you that they do. I ordered a 32 in these shorts and that was prefect for me. With so much room for adjustment it was hard to make these fit wrong. The length of them is mid to just below the knee. The material of the shorts feels nice, but they do feel a little heavier than other shorts. The waistband system works just as advertised. Once you have these shorts on there is no way that they are coming off. The only real negative thing that I can say about the fit is that the drawstring almost always get tangled up in the Velcro, and it does pull the treads part.

Stand Up- For stand up these are easily in my top 3 favorites to use. They feel extremely comfortable while doing any sort of stand up. I did not have any problems with any sort of technique and did not feel restricted at all. While the split seam could be helpful for some, for me it was not necessary. One thing that really bothers me about mma shorts in general is a lot of them require adjustments in between rounds. These are one of the only pairs I have ever used that required ZERO adjustments not only between rounds, but for my entire workouts. With the way the closure system works and the “guardlock” once these shorts are tied, they are not moving. Keep in mind that you can feel these shorts on you as they are heavier than others, but once you get going it is not as noticeable. These do however absorb a fair of amount of sweat so they can take a little while to dry out.

Ground- When using these for ground I would rate this as good. It is not that they do anything wrong, I just think it might be because they are so good during stand up that its hard to match that performance. Once again they stay very tight around the waist and there is no shifting or rid up from them. Since the material is thicker there is less riding up on the legs, but because the split seams are longer, when they do rid up it is very noticeable. These shorts are not restricting at all and found them to be very comfortable.

Pros-

*Excellent construction

*Great closure system

*Sublaminated logos

Cons-

*Material a little heavy

*Ride up on the ground

Overall- These really are a great pair of shorts, but not perfect so I could not give them an overall five stars. Oh, I almost forgot, you are probably wondering how they did with them being white and if they became transparent. Well I can report that these are the best shorts that I have test when it comes to that. While they still did absorb a lot of sweat, they are much less transparent then any other short that I have used. With that in mind, if you are looking for a new pair of shorts, then please take a look at the Hayabusa White Shiai Fight Shorts. They are also available in black and gray if white is not your color. I really rate these as one of the best shorts I have ever trained in. They can be purchased for right around $65.

**Disclaimer** I received these at no cost for the purpose of review and received no payment from the company to do the review.

As a result, you’ll notice a dramatic increase in performance as your warm muscles are capable of achieving an even higher degree of flexibility, power and speed. Intricately knitted with only the best fabrics with specialized tensile properties, these uniquely engineered rashguards easily outperform all other rashguards on the market.

First Impression- I pulled this rashguard out of the box and was immediately impressed by how it looked. I took it out of the plastic that it came in and the material is very soft and seemed thicker than other rashguards that I have. Looks great and I cant wait to try it. I also really enjoyed the japanese theme throughtout this rashguard.

Fit and Finish- I wear a shirt size medium so that is the size of the rashguard that I got and either my body is sized weird or the rashguard is. I found it to be quite tight on my arms and upper body but looser around my waist and stomach. However the quality and finish of this rashguard are top notch. No threads out of place or loose and the stitching is very high quality. I also noticed this rashguard is longer then most that I have which I think is a good thing as you could get a good tuck into your shorts with out it rolling or creeping up on you. All of the graphics are sub laminated but they seem to be even deeper in to material then most so I highly doubt that they are going to crack or peel.

Stand up- For stand up this rashguard works excellent. Not only did it stay where it is suppose to it did a very good job of wicking away moisture. I also found that it kept my body just the right temperature as some rashguards I have used in the past have caused me to over heat due to either thickness or how breathable the material is. The more I use this rash guard the more I like it.

Ground- This rashguard also works very well on the ground. Once again does an excellent job of wicking away moisture. On the ground it did creep up a little but nothing that I could not deal with and I did not ever have to re-tuck it. I also decided to wear this under a gi and for the most part kept me from getting gi burn. While under the gi it did an excellent job of keeping me just the right temperature.

Pros-

High Quality

Very Breathable material

Good moisture wicking

Sub laminated graphics 

Cons-

Weird Sizing

Overall- I really liked this rashguard and other than the odd sizing it is an excellent product. If you are looking for a rashguard at the top of food chain then I would give this one a try. This is definitely a product I would recommend. The price for this is around $60.

First Impression- When I first pulled these shorts out of the plastic bag that they came in I could tell that they were going to be a great pair of shorts. The material felt a little heavier then other shorts I have used but seemed to be very durable. All the logos and graphics looked great.

Construction- These shorts are very well constructed. There were only a couple loose threads but everything was either double or triple stitched where it needed to be. These shorts are made out of polyester here is the break down. 90% Mechanical Polyester 10% Performance Polyester. These shorts are manufactured in Taiwan.

Fit- These shorts have an excellent fit. They have a an elastic waistband that works well and and allows them to be very adjustable. They have a very unique closure system. It is hard to describe so I have taken plenty of pictures. The Velcro part is fairly standard but the drawstring part is not like any other pair of shorts out there. It goes through and eyelet of one side of the shorts and then pulls them tight with the other side of the drawstring. Either way keeps the shorts very snug around my waist, and if that wasn’t enough they have a rubber strip going around the inside of the waistband which keeps the shorts from shifting around your waist. Keep in mind that these shorts are a little longer then most shorts falling right at mid to bottom of the knee. They do have a split seam which is also a little longer and have a stretch panel in the inside of the legs.

Stand up- These shorts work great for the stand up. I had no problems with any sort of technique and they felt very comfortable. My only issue is that they did feel a little heavy but seem like they are going to be very durable. The stretch panel and split seam allowed plenty of range of motion and they did not shift around my waist due to the guardlock waist band system.

Ground- On the ground this pair of shorts does a good job. I did not have any problems with preforming any sort of technique. They did not shift around my waist at all. They only issue that I did have with them is that when I had someone in my guard I found that  the legs of these shorts would bunch up. Not a big deal but still something to mention. Otherwise these shorts felt great.

Pros-

Great Fit

Closure System

Quality of Logos

Cons-

Material Feels a Little Heavy

Bunch Up When On Ground

Overall- These are an excellent pair of shorts. With a great closure system and unrestricted movement I can definitely recommend these shorts.
