NEW! Hayabusa Kyoudo Shorts

[Premier79]

You have a pic of your shorts Foppa? The lettering should be the same since it translates to Hayabusa

I think I own a pair. How do I tell? What's different between these and last years' model? Like the chinese character on it?

They've made quite a few improvements over last year's models. I think the quality and durability is better as well.

 

[Foppa21]

lol that means absolutely nothing to me considering I don't even kniw what last years' model was about

 

[crossdx]

LOL, I'll try to elaborate a little if this is still confusing you. If you didn't buy them within the past few months, then you've got last year's models, the "Carbon Mechanix" shorts. The new "Kyoudo" shorts' improvements are listed in this thread, with a couple of guys posting reviews within the thread.

Aesthetically, design has changed a bit and the new shorts are all white or all black without a different color panel on the side like last year. Not too hard to figure out if you have the old shorts or the new ones as they don't even look alike on close inspection. Performance-wise, they've improved the waistband closure system and the material of the shorts, and the stitching has been reinforced as well. Basically, they addressed all the negative issues made about last year's shorts, and improved on them in those areas.

Bought about 6 weeks ago. All white.

Funky drawstring system that I can't work out hahaha. Man I'm glad I don't usually do up the drawstring or else I'd be trying to work this one out for ages hahaha

Looked at the pics... Not my shorts...

Well I guess I might as well stick my hand up, I own a pair of Kyoudos.....

Who'd have thunk it... Been wearing them for the last few months already

I love these shorts. We carry them. Yes, they are a bit thicker than other shorts I've worn, but they do feel nice. Not to mention they're the best looking shorts I've seen. They fit pretty true to size, so if you're a 34 in jeans get a 34 in these.

They are pricey, but we offer them for 10% off to sherdog peeps, just enter the code SDOG when you check out, that puts them in the $50's instead of the $60's.

Thats what I do with mine. Machine wash in cold water and hang them up to dry.

I was planning on getting some soon, but Inspirit also came out with some new designs. Not rich mind you, I just find a way. Anyways, if I get these, I will definitely post up a review.

RFW, that is awesome, gonna fav that site now, and that's where I will buy from. Thanks for the Sdog love!

 

[Foppa21]

yeah I got them shorts.

 

[SharingHan]

how do these fit? tight or loose?

They actually fit kinda snug but its nice......its flexible and it doesnt hold you down when you are kneeing or kicking....I own 2 pairs of these shorts...I bought one and loved it enough to buy a 2nd pair...2nd pair for incase crap happens...Im a bit OCD in that dept.

Hayabusa is a company where you get what you pay for. They are not cheap, but they are very high quality. I'd rather have two good shorts than four pairs that are cheap garbage. Also, to save you a little cash, use the SDOG discount for 10% off. You won't regret buying anything Hayabusa.

They are awesome, I've only used sprawl other than these. Here are pics of the front and back.

Strong and durable. Someone said they are heavy in a post above. I found the sprawl to be have more material and bulkier. I want to get a pair of Nogi's next. These were a b-day gift

I recently purchased a pair of these shorts as well.

Just like hypes006 said, they are heavy, but they aren't a issue when training. They are very snug fitting as well. Drawstring it a bit weird, but the velcro is great.

Just my .02

Yeah, that's what i thought too. I tried them last night. Great fit and comfortable. They seem to resist a lot, still pretty clean for white. We'll see after the first wash.
