Questions
How do these shorts compare to traditional satin shorts in terms of feel?
The MicroSatin fabric is durable and lightweight, offering a smooth feel. While similar to traditional satin, it may have a slightly different drape and texture due to its synthetic composition, which also contributes to its machine washable nature.
Are these shorts suitable for daily training?
Yes, the triple-reinforced stitching, durable MicroSatin, and machine washable care make these shorts highly suitable for rigorous daily training sessions.
Will the reflective logo peel or fade over time?
The reflective logo is designed for durability. Following the machine washable care instructions will help maintain its integrity over time.
Do these shorts run true to size?
Muay Thai shorts typically run smaller than Western sizing. Refer to the size chart, and if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.
What is the benefit of the extra-wide side slits?
The extra-wide side slits are a traditional Muay Thai design feature that allows for maximum range of motion, particularly during high kicks, knees, and clinching, preventing any restriction from the fabric.
