Questions
How do I care for these satin shorts?
To maintain the quality and appearance of your satin shorts, hand washing in cold water and hang drying is recommended. Avoid machine washing or high heat drying, which can damage the fabric.
Are these shorts suitable for other combat sports?
While designed for Muay Thai, the classic cut and durable construction make them suitable for kickboxing, K-1, and general striking training where unrestricted leg movement is key. They are not ideal for grappling due to the short cut and loose fit.
What is the typical fit of Thai shorts?
Thai shorts are traditionally cut short, sitting high on the thigh, and feature wide leg openings to allow for maximum range of motion during kicks and knees. The waistband is typically wide and elastic for a secure fit.
Are these shorts genuinely made in Thailand?
Yes, these BOON Sport Gladiator Muay Thai Shorts are hand-made in Thailand, ensuring authentic craftsmanship and adherence to traditional Thai fightwear standards.
