I’ve always been a big fan of sprawl shorts, they are tough, lightweight and provide a lot of room to move. One of the newest shorts that Sprawl has released are the Fusion Stretch Series. I only have about 4 fight shorts and I always thought all shorts are the same. These shorts prove one thing, that all fight shorts are not created equally.

These shorts address many problems with typical fight shorts such as
- They Stretch! This is important when throwing kicks or knees and more important when you’re rolling. If you’re like me, you get into some awkward positions.
- Light weight – although I don’t know the secret compound of the shorts nor do I care, they are extremely light weight. I almost feel like I have no pants on (I don’t like wearing pants). The light weight design allows better air flow.
- The waistband – Sprawl designed a non-slip “Channel Lock” wristband which allows you to adjust your wristband once. The worst thing in the world is having your fight shorts slip off when you’re rolling…
- Everything Resistant – Sprawl claims that these shorts are blood resistant, to be honest I haven’t been able to test that out because I don’t try to hurt people at my own gym but I’ll take sprawl’s word on the matter. They are indeed sweat resistant some how, so they are easy to clean.
Bottom Line
Although they don’t have the most badass designs, they are functional which is the most important thing. I definitely recommend picking these up. They stay on and they don’t absorb sweat like a lot of other shorts do.
