Hey all, so I've been going over the past posts that all talk about shorts for tall guys and longer shorts for tall guys. I've not tried too many shorts myself aside from the pairs I bought at kickboxing studios. The problem I seem to come across is that I too would like a longer pair of shorts (I'm 6'5" and most shorts look ridiculous on me because of the shortness) but I also would like some durability/flex in them... most times whenever I have to squat or make a hard kick/knee for any reason, I typically end up ripping the shorts because they don't flex enough. I've mostly been trying to wear extremely short shorts so that my whole leg is practically bare, but was hoping that there's some apparel out there that you all know of.
On a similar note, anyone have a suggestions for a reasonably absorbent but decent-fitting fighting shirt for tall, slender guys? It's a somewhat embarrassing thing, but I sweat like crazy when I do anything. So usually I have to wear a full tshirt and can't do the tanks, but tshirts fit pretty large on me and cause a lot of chafing and resistance when I'm fighting. Any suggestions from people who've encountered this?
Thanks a ton for any insights, but I'm mostly looking for lived experience, not just a suggestion based on what you've read on a store's website... I tried that several times, they lie, or often times you just don't know what apparel is going to do until you actually try it out.
