Questions
How do I choose the correct size?
These shorts use Thai sizing, which is generally smaller than Western sizing. We recommend ordering one size up from what you typically wear to ensure a proper fit.
What are the care instructions for microfibre shorts?
To maintain the integrity and longevity of the microfibre, it's best to wash these shorts in cold water and hang them to air dry. Avoid using high heat in a dryer, as it can damage the fabric.
Are these shorts suitable for competition?
While durable enough for rigorous training, these shorts are designed with a minimalist aesthetic for daily training. For competition, some athletes may prefer shorts with more traditional designs or specific branding requirements.
What is the benefit of the classic Muay Thai cut?
The classic Muay Thai cut features a short length and high side slits, which are crucial for allowing maximum hip extension and leg movement. This design ensures your kicks, knees, and footwork are completely unrestricted during training.
