Hey everyone, this is my first FS BST post, so bare with me :).
First, I have one pair of the new SPRAWL GripFlex fight shorts. Actually, I have two, but seeing how my first pair seems to last forever, I'm selling the second one. These have NEVER seen any action.
If you're in the market for MMA shorts, you'll know that Sprawl is one of the most reputable MMA companies (for their shorts and loose-fit rashguards, anyway). These are the latest model.
New features on these are the 4-way stretch material and the grips on the inseams to avoid your partner from slipping out of triangle chokes and omoplatas. They aren't going to make your grappling game better (a sloppy technique = still sloppy), but they do help :lol:. Sprawl triple-seamed pretty much everything; these are duuuurable.
The waist size on these is 32. But like all Sprawls they got an elastic waistband, so they have a LOT of give to them if needed (I wear 34 - 36 waist jeans, and these fit snug). They also have a mouthguard pocket. They're also split-seam, so if you do Muay Thai high kicks won't be a problem.
I forgot to mention, they're pretty close to indestructible.
They look pretty darn good too.
These go for about US$55 + tax + shipping from online retailers in the US. I've seen these go for about $70 - 80 in some CDN stores :mad: ; we get shafted up here for MMA gear. I'd like $55 for them. [Update]Will take $50 OBO.
Some hands-on reviews:

Secondly, I have some used TKD gear. I made the switch from TKD to Sambo and Muay Thai a while ago so I don't need it. The gear has been used probably 5 or 6 times. They are in GREAT condition.
This got everything you need to get started in sparring. This includes the Headgear, Hand pads, Foot pads and Shin guards.
All the gear is size Large (I'm 5'11 and 175 pounds and the gear fits well, I'd imagine it'll fit 5'9 - 6'1, 170 - 200 pounds).
I honestly have no idea how much this goes for, or how much I got it for. I looked at some gear websites (I just looked at http://www.bushido.ca/catalog/sub_category.php?category_code=SPG) , and they want $59 for the headgear, $37 for the foot pads and $37 for the hand pads.
I'll let it all go for $70.[Update]Will take $60 OBO.

I'm in the K/W area; local pick-up preferred. But willing to ship if buyer pays first (never done this before, let me know if the customs here are different; my gut is more comfortable seeing the money before I ship my gear off)
If you need any details or have any comments whatsoever, reply or PM.
Cheers,
Kevin
