Shorts FAQ
Everything you need to know before buying.
What's the fabric made of?
100% polyester microfiber with 4-way stretch. Lightweight, quick-drying, and built to handle hard training. The fabric stays opaque even when soaked in sweat—no awkward moments on the mat.
Will they stay up during rolls?
The elastic waistband plus internal drawstring keeps them locked in place. No sliding down during inversions, scrambles, or any position. Velcro fly adds extra security.
What's the inseam length?
7 inches—the sweet spot for grappling. Long enough for coverage, short enough for unrestricted movement in guard positions. Full range of motion for triangles, armbars, whatever you're working on.
Why are there side slits?
The split-seam design allows full hip mobility for guard work, triangles, and high kicks. Traditional shorts restrict movement—these move with you, not against you.
Do these have pockets?
No—and that's intentional. Pockets can catch fingers and cause injuries during grappling. These are designed for training, not running errands. Clean, functional, safe.
Why no big logos or graphics?
Minimal design on purpose. No giant brand logos or flashy graphics—just clean, functional shorts that look professional at any gym. Simple and effective.
What size shorts should I get?
Check the size guide above. Measure your natural waist and compare. Shorts should sit secure without being restrictive—you need full range of motion for guard work. Between sizes? Size up for comfort.
I have big thighs—will these fit?
Yes. The 4-way stretch fabric and split-seam design accommodate muscular thighs well. The stretch moves with you rather than restricting. Check your waist measurement for sizing.
Do these run small or large?
True to size based on waist measurement. The elastic waistband has some give, so if you're between sizes, either will likely work. Size up if you prefer a looser fit.
What waist size is each short?
Check the detailed size guide above—we show waist ranges for each size. Measure your natural waist (around your belly button) and match to the chart.

What if I chose the wrong size?
No stress—we offer easy size exchanges within 30 days on unworn items with tags attached. Shorts should fit secure at the waist without being tight. Check our size guide above, and reach out if you need help.
Can I return worn shorts?
No—for hygiene reasons, worn items can't be returned. Try them on at home first to check the fit before training. Unworn items with tags can be exchanged within 30 days.
How do I start an exchange?
Just email us with your order number and the size you need. We'll send you a prepaid return label and get the right size shipped out. Most exchanges are completed within a week.
Will they stretch out over time?
Nope. The elastic waistband and 4-way stretch fabric maintain their shape wash after wash. We've tested these through hundreds of training sessions—they keep their fit.
How do I wash grappling shorts?
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. They dry fast and won't shrink. Wash after every session—polyester handles frequent washing without breaking down. Skip the fabric softener.
Will they shrink?
No. Polyester doesn't shrink like cotton. What you order is what you get, wash after wash. No special care required.
How do I remove odor?
Wash after every session—don't let them sit in your gym bag. If odor builds up, soak in cold water with white vinegar before washing. Synthetic fabric releases odor easier than cotton once treated.
Can I put them in the dryer?
Yes—tumble dry low is fine. High heat can damage the elastic over time, so keep it on low. They dry fast even on low heat.
