I replied to a post further down...but got no response. I have heard that these shorts are made out of Gi material. Is there any truth to that?
Yes and no! No - The VT-Pro shorts are made of military Rip-Stop fabric. This fabric is not the normal canvas used on kimonos. Yes - The new Atama Carioca Trim kimono is made of Rip-Stop fabric on collar and pants. You can't go wrong with VT-Pro shorts, they are very strong, fit really nice and will last forever. BFW TEAM
I still think I want to try them out. so they probably wouldn't be too good for getting wet? occasionally my fight shorts double as a swim suit...
I personally wouldn't use any of my grappling shorts as a bathing suit. They cost too much to risk IMO.
they are not worn in a pool or exposed to chlorine. occasionally the lake when a suit is left at home. shoot...they get soaked in sweat every time i wear them...can it be that much worse?
I have a pair of the Vt's. Love them. Mainly because Im usually the only person rocking the Korals :$ I really dislike them for MT tho. For grappling they are cool tho.
