Per Manufacturer- Nothing on these as of now as they have not been released to the public. Once I can get some specs on these shorts you will for sure find them here.

First Impression- I got these and had no idea what they were going to look like as there is no pictures of them on Jaco’s website. Once I got them out of the box I was surprised to see them in white and wished that the waistband color matched the color of the shorts. Now I will tell you, I do not typically like fight shorts in white. Due to their ability to become transparent, but could not wait to give these a try.

Construction- I have tried out many of Jaco’s products and I can tell you that most of the time their stuff is top notch. These shorts are no exception. They did not have any loose threads. The logos are screen printed on so we will have to see if they can stand up over time, but they seem to be of good quality. They are made of 90% polyester and 10% spandex. The material is very stretchy and seems thicker than most so I am hoping when they get wet they do not become see through. These shorts are constructed in China. One thing I really liked about them is they still have that little pocket on the lower front of the leg instead of inside by the waist, so I could still access it while my shorts were tied shut.

Fit- Now if I had been ordering these I would have probably ordered a size medium, but the guys at Jaco know how to size and sent me a large. It fits perfectly. They waistband has enough stretch in it so that I can get these shorts up and over my hips. It does have a drawstring which comes in handy. I was a little worried about them being too big in the legs but they are not. Sure they did ride up a little in the legs, but not enough to be either uncomfortable or look strange. The length on these is mid to upper thigh like what you would expect and for the most part that is where they stay. I could comfortably where a cup underneath them, and to be honest I hardly even noticed I was wearing them.

Stand up- I am use to wearing loose fit shorts although this is not my first pair of vale tudos. It took me awhile to get use to these especially with others around, but once I forgot about them I realized how great these shorts are. I found I barely noticed them at all. They stayed in place for the most part except for the slight riding up on the legs. I had no problem with any sort of technique, and found them to be very comfortable while doing just about anything including head kicks and clinch work.

Ground- Alright, I admit at first these shorts were a little uncomfortable when working on the ground, but that was only due to that fact that it looked like I was rolling in my underwear. Once I got past that I had no issues. These shorts are actually fantastic for ground work. They do not get tangled, shift, or ride up. These shorts did not give me any problems with any sort of ground work. I find that sometimes even though people should not they grab shorts out of instinct. Well with these this was not a problem. For ground work these shorts worked great as long as you are comfortable wearing this style of shorts.

Pros-

*Fit

*Pocket is still accessible when shorts are tied

*Quality

*Do not become transparent when wet

Cons-

*Not a style for everyone

*Kind of look like underwear

Overall- I really could not find a whole lot I did not like about these shorts. I could not give them a 5 on the overall just due to minor things however they are comfortable and they fit great. Still no problems with the screen printing and was extremely pleased when they did not become transparent due to sweat. If you are comfortable with wearing these type of shorts, then once these become available for purchase I would strongly recommend picking them up. Perhaps try them in black though.

 Here is a look at some products that Jaco has coming out.

First we have the long awaited Vale Tudo shorts. From first glance these things look awesome and the fell is amazing. Feel very similar to their Resurgence shorts. They also stuck with still having the pocket in the leg. Will let you know more about fit and function once I actually give them a try but from just first impression I like them.

Then we have their Guardian mouth guard. This things looks very similar to Brainpad. Comes with very detailed instructions and once I give it some use I will let you know how everything goes. It also comes with its own carrying case which is always a plus with a mouth guard.

 Here is the most technical info I could get on the mouth guard

Now neither one of these a available yet, but should be available soon. I will keep you posted if I can get some dates for the mouth guard. As always MMA Gear Advice is bringing you the reviews and gear news first. Check out www.jacoclothing.com for all of their other gear.

Per Manufacture- This A-Flex® hat features a 6 panel construction.  It dawns the Brasil flag on the right and the Brasil coat of arms on the left.  The identifiable “tenacity” symbol is embroidered on the front with the full Jaco logo embroidered on the back of the hat.

Construction- This hat is made very well. All of the stitching is top notch with very few loose stitches. It is made of 96% cotton and 4% spandex. It is manufactured in China.

Fit- This hat fits extremely well. I always worry when I buy a hat off the web because you never know how they are going to fit. Well I got a sm/md in this hat and it fits perfect. Plus with having that extra bit of flex you can get a custom fit out of it.

Design- I like the overall design of this hat. There are several other models of this hat that represent other countries. I would have liked to have received the USA one but it has yet to be released so the Brasil one works since I do train Brazilian jiu jitsu it makes the most sense out of the ones they do have out.

Overall- This is a very nice hat. It is well made and has a nice design to it. If your country is represented then I would recommend picking this hat up. The cost is around $25. A side note that it is Brasil in Portuguese and Brazil in English.

It is also avalible in White.

I received both the winter and training versions of Jaco’s new beanies and I must say I like them both.

 First the winter version

The feel of this beanie is very nice. It is made out of 100% bamboo and has a nice soft feel to it. It fits just like a normal beanie should and seems like it will be very durable. I have worm this beanie on my morning runs and it is both very comfortable and keeps my head warm. All the logos on it are embroidered. One thing I noticed and really liked about this beanie is the interior liner that it has which provides almost like a double insulation. It also wicks a moisture while keeping my head just the right temperature.

All Weather Beanie

I really like this beanie. At first my thoughts on a beanie that you would wear while training seemed like something I would not like because it would make me too hot but I am glad to say I was wrong. This beanie is very comfortable but it fits more like a skull cap. This one is also 100% bamboo and all the logos are embroidered. It is a very light feeling beanie. I wore it during mostly bag/pad work and lifting weights and it kept my head at the perfect temperature. It also kept it dry by wicking away most of the moisture.

I would definitely recommend both of these beanies. The quality is there and you can use these for either training or casual wear.

Per Manufacture-

•Ultra-durable STR-X™ fabric that stretches effortlessly in all directions and wicks perspiration rapidly. This fabric was specifically developed to provide the technical needs that are essential in MMA: durability, exceptional 4-way stretch, breathability, moisture wicking and comfort.

•Patent-pending compression waist-tightening system that can be tightened without creating “scrunching or cinching” around the waist while providing a comfortable, no-slip fit. This system provides a compression style fit internally to the garment that allows the external look of the product to remain unchanged.

•Internal stretch pocket located at the bottom of the shorts’ leg opening so that you don’t have to untie your shorts every time you want to stow your mouthguard. This compression style pocket is designed to hold the mouthguard (or locker key) so that it does not “flop” around while working out.

•Fly backing panel construction to prevent rubbing and chafing from the fly’s hook and loop material.

•Raised “Tenacity” Icon Logo on the rear, center of waistband (patent-pending).

First Thoughts- These shorts were shipped out very fast and arrived in a box. Once out of the box they are in their own plastic bag. I was instantly pleased with how they looked. I could not wait to get them out and start training in them.

Fit and Finish- Once out of the bag the first thing that I noticed about them is the feel of the material. It is unlike anything other out there. It is very soft and almost feels like the entire fight short is once giant stretch panel. I got a 30 in these and this is where I ran into a bit of a problem. These shorts were very hard to get on because of how the closure system works. They do not have standard closure system at all and while I like it and it works very well it makes the shorts smaller around the waist when putting them on. Needless to say I had to go for a 32 in these which once I received fit much better. I have since received a 34 which fits even better. A very small amount of bunching but the length is much better.

The closure system is hard to describe so I included plenty of pictures so you can see what it looks like but it does work very well. Their are some raised logos on the inside  The shorts are shorter then most shorts and fall just above the knee. I personally like my shorts a little longer then these. Like I mentioned before they do not have any stretch panel and do not need one as the entire pair of shorts feel like a stretch panel. They do have a split seam but it is shorter then most and also have a small pocket at the bottom of one of the legs. All but the very back logo are screen printed which made me nervous but we will see how they hold up over time. While wearing these shorts they are very light weight almost to the point of forgetting you have them on, and while I like that the material does feel a bit thin.

Stand up- These shorts are amazing for stand up. They move very well and do not ride up or shift at all due to the closure system and the raised logos on the inside of the waistband. I had no problem with any sort of technique and was very impressed at how much they stretched.

Here is photos of the shorts inside out.

Ground- These shorts work very well on the ground. They did not shift around my waist at all and had a huge range of motion. The legs did ride up a little but most shorts that have split seams do that and it was not annoying or uncomfortable. I had no problem with any sort of technique and these shorts performed very well on the ground.

Pros-

-Unique Closure System

-Very Comfortable

-Materials Feel

Cons-

-Screen Printed Logos

-Sizing

-Material is kind of thin

Overall-I do recommend getting a pair of these shorts. While there are some sizing issuses these are a good pair of shorts that work well at what they do. They retail for around $65 and once you get the sizing down they are a great pair of shorts.
