picked up a pair of sprawl gripflex's upon checkin them out i noticed the colors perfect really catchy which is a sprawl mainstay. the mouthpeice pocket is bigger now too making it so you can put 30 60 80gig ipods zunes etc. when warming up for tournaments or just goin to the gym to lift and what not. putting them on they ran true to size throughout the waist hips and thighs not to big not to small the slits allow it so you can get you shin up their for a beautiful head kick everytime no worrying about the material stopping you from liftin your leg. along with the grip panels sprawl brought back their strech panels making it easier for kicks armbars trinagles and just about everying else you need out of a fight short. the only thing that annoys me with them is they are heavier than last years model the urban camo pattern is totally sold out, when walking the grip panels tend to catch which is just kinda annoying. and whatever you do dont put them in the dryer the velco will catch the grip/stretch pannel fraying and ripping them. did some kickboxing with them on tonight i have to say they have more strech to them than xflex but their also longer as well which tangles me up a little bit.
pros
comfy
lots of room through the hips thighs and knees
bigger mouthpeice pocket can fit zunes ipods etc.
very true to size i wear about a 32 33 and these are 32s and perfect fit
looks sprawl did it again with their color scheme red base black stripe and lettering
large range of motion for kicks and everything else
cons
price i hate spending 55dollers but their well worth it
grip panels can rub causing some annoyence
heavier than last years vflex probably in part of the grips
cant put in dryer the velcro will grab the panels and strech pannels causing them to fray so if you have a 2 a day you might want a backup or some form of a clothes line/ dry bar
little longer and baggier tangles me up but nothing severe
sprawls all in all ive had these and vflex both are excellent shorts sprawl is the best short company out there
sorry for the delay in pics i forgot havent got chance to do wash yet so their a little dirty

back of shorts
