Here it is almost the end of 2010 and I know what you are thinking. I have all this extra cash left over after Christmas and I need to buy some new mma gear. Well what are you waiting for? There is tons of great gear out there and I am going to take you through what I think is some of the best of the year. Whether you are thinking shorts or gloves, mouthguard or gi, or ever just a new hoodie I got you covered. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a look at what I think are the best of 2010, and with 2011 coming up I can not wait to see what is just around the corner.

I think the best way to do this is I am going to present this in portions… first up shorts.

SHORTS

Every one of us that is a hardcore gear addict knows this is the staple of our addiction. You can never have too many pairs of mma shorts. I know that I can’t, and just continue to get them no matter how many pairs that I have. As new stuff comes out, I must have to have it. These are just a couple examples of the shorts that I have reviewed that I think are ones that you should not live without.

Sprawl Fusion-S Shorts  

 

These are really some of the best shorts out on the market. With almost every key feature combined into one short this is surely not a pair that you will want to pass up.

Feel like there is something that I should add? Maybe you think your shorts should be here. Well do not feel bad. These are just the ones that I really feel like were ahead of the others. Plenty of other sections to go so don’t get your jockstrap in a bind just yet.

Take a look at these shorts. These are Clinch Gear’s latest entry. These are the shorts that Dan Henderson will be wearing when he faces Jake Shields for the Strikeforce Middleweight Title this Saturday. I think they are a nice looking pair of shorts and if they perform like the Hendo 100′s they are sure to be a success both in and out of the cage.

    Per Manufacture-
  • Fully sublimated expansion panels
  • Proprietary Clinch Gear waist closure system
  • Triple stitching on all critical seams
  • Two-way stretch fabric on body
  • Expansion panels on inseams
  • Contiguous expansion panels along sides and rear
  • Painstakingly hand-stitched in North America

    First Impression- When I got these I pulled them out of the envelope that they came in and pulled them out of the plastic bag and was immediately impressed. The portion that had graphics on it was actually a stretch panel and the colors were so vibrant. I could not wait to try these on.
     
     
     Construction- The shorts are made very well. The are 100% polyester and are assembled in Mexico. The feel of these shorts is great. I did not notice any loose threads and everything was either double or triple stitched. The logo on the waist is embroidered and all other logos are sub-laminated onto the shorts for tons of durability. These shorts also have a small pocket on the inside of the waistband. Something that is very different about these clinch gears when compared to other models is the stretch panel. The entire are where you see the American flag and clinch gear graphics is a stretch panel. They also have a stretch panel in the inner leg. Something I don;t like about these is they are white so when they get wet from sweat the become somewhat transparent. Luckily I wear compression shorts underneath them but still something that I found kind of annoying.
     
     
    Fit- I got these shorts in a size 30 and they fit perfect. I would say that if you in between sizes try going down first because if these shorts are too big they just wont work. One thing that I don’t really like about these is that there is not room for any adjust ability so you have to make sure that you get just the right size as there is no drawstring or elastic waist. The closure system is the same style that Clinch Gear had used before with the the Velcro fly that folds over the top. This pair of clinch gears is longer then the ones I have previously tried which I thought was a great addition as they fell to right about the middle of the knee. I really liked how light these shorts feel and there is plenty of room in the hips but they do not have a split seam. With all the stretch panels this pair of shorts has a split seam was not needed.
     
    Stand Up- These shorts are great for stand up. They have a huge range of motion and I did not have any problems with any sort of technique from head kicks to knees from the clinch(no pun intended). They are very comfortable shorts that a lot of the time I could even feel I was really wearing them. They did not ride up or shift around my waist at all which I thought I was pretty amazing considering they have no drawstring.
     
     
    Ground- On the ground these shorts also performed. This is where having all those stretch panels really shinned. I had no problem with anyone is my guard. They also worked great from top position and  never felt restrictive. They did not ride or bunch up and there was very minimal shifting around my waist. Worked very well at everything I through at them.  
     
    Pros-
    Fantastic Construction
    Great range of motion
    Sub-laminated and embroidered logos
    Closure System
     
    Cons-
    The white becomes transparent when it gets wet
    No room for adjust ability
     
    Overall- These are great pair of shorts. They work very well at what they do and are definitely are pair of shorts I recommend. The few bad points about this pair of shorts certainly do not out way the good. You can get these shorts at www.clinchgear.com for around $58.
     
    They also have a version that comes with Dan Henderson sponsor logos for around $100 

    **Disclaimer** I received these at  no cost for the purpose of review
