what's the difference between boxing shorts and normal shorts? I'm a serious kickboxer and I'm trying to see the benefit of getting boxing shorts.

Boxing shorts have a bigger waist band than normal shorts. Other than that there's not much difference. Boxing has competition apparel rules that require boxing trunks with contrasting waistband and shirt.

Personally, material, air flow, easier to cleaner, and it feels better on the skin. It's all

Its really just the look. See in am official match you wear a cup underneath. And with normal shorts the way waist band is you look really funny. Ik because I did my first match in Jordan shorts. You look much better in official shorts. Also your waist band must be a differnt color than top n bottom. So u can't wear all black. These waists ate always a different color so you can wear red top tuck in red shorts its all for appearances. Which when you look bad infront of a crowd. Your game could suffer aswel.

Never. The shorts are very snug. I wear them in spin class. I'm also accident prone so if something was able to get caught on something it would happen to me. Now that it's in my head it may happen today. I'll let you know.

Short is shorter than regular. Long is longer than regular. If you're a size small and you're short, get a short. If you're a small and you're tall get a long. If you're in between, get a regular.

Compression shorts are generally intended as the undergarment layer. Traditional briefs or boxers would not be comfortable worn under compression shorts, due to the tight fit. Athletic supporters (jock strap) could be worn under compression shorts, if necessary.

I would say yes. Way better than using true boxing gloves and they still give you protection while working out.

If your concern is about your hands size. maybe you should try to buy a Macho Dyna or Pro Lightning hand gloves for sparring. Try an adult small size. What is your intend of use? heavy bag training or sparring?

The length is a matter of personal preference. Personally, I like shorts that cover most of my thighs, rather than booty shorts, so I really like these. (As for size, I'd say either large or extra-large. It depends on how you're built.)

I'd say yes. They are not much different than sports shorts, they are the same thickness of any sports shorts I've ever felt. I wear them under my jeans, they allow for great concealment.

I tried on a long type vest and a short type vest at Dicks Sports before buying, I would suggest to do the same first before deciding. But, I like the short vest because it seems to put more weight on your shoulders, chest and upper back where the longer vest put a little more pressure on the lower back and not so much on the upper section of your back.

These shorts are great for anything. I've had my one pair for a couple years now and they look only a tad worn and I train MMA 5 days a week. They hold up great to impact, tugging, and dragging. I'm 220lbs and these shorts fit great too. I got this helps! Oss!

I don't know about that. They have the mesh lining and the pockets are nice. They are a little longer than most shorts I have tried. I really like them for tennis.

I guess it depends on your comfort. I was in between and ordered one of each. The smalls are good while I'm playing soccer, but the mediums are really comfy to wear through the day without feeling overly constricted.

I guess you´d have to get small size. Mine fit pretty well and worked great for bjj. Good luck!

This is like asking why you should wear boxers instead of briefs. If you are having second thoughts then don't buy it......

I believe its based upon the size of the person boxing more so than anything else. People who typically weigh very little. Like Under 120 would use the smaller size boxing gloves. The smaller sizes also have less padding in them which means the heavier and stronger you are (120+ lbs) the more painful/potentially dangerous it would be when punching an opponent in a sparring match. However, if like me you will not actually be doing an heavy sparring it would probably be fine to use this smaller size for a recreational kickboxing class or anything along those lines. Also if you have very large hands the 8oz size may not fit on your hands as comfortably. I believe its based upon the size of the person boxing more so than anything else.

Most of the ladies in my kickbox class wear 8 or 10oz gloves. Kind of depends on whether you are wearing wraps or some type of gel wrap gloves under your boxing gloves as those will fill up some space in the gloves as well. Best thing would be to go to a sporting goods or boxing equipment store to try on some gloves and see how they fit. Then order from Amazon if it will save you $$.

I used these for a brief time and thought they were okay. Wish I had tried the regular boxing gloves to compare them too. I think you may need something with more padding for use 4-5 days per week.
