Essential Compression Tights Men No Gi Jiu Jitsu Spats

These feel so awesome that I wanted to write a review as soon as I put them on. Definitely buy these! I've had these on my wishlist for a very long time, and finally made the purchase. I'm 6',2.5" @ 190 lbs., usually wear a size 34w x 34l in Dockers, for example, and for these Sanabul spats I chose size Medium. I have ectomorph body type with a small but definite beer gut. They fit spectacularly. These feel luxurious. I can hardly wait to train JJ in these. I'm probably building them up too much, and now that you've read this, they won't feel so luxurious. But at least you will probably be satisfied. Probably proper sizing will have an effect. I had a couple pair of regular running spats that I'd gotten from discount stores, but not made for grappling. I finally bought a pair of Gracie Triangle Spats-XLarge. I'm 6'2.5" @ 190lbs. The Gracie University store website said Rener and Ryron 6'4" and wear a size Large, but I get claustrophobic/overly-sensitive to clothing, so I bought the XL. After seeing some of the other guys in my JJ class wearing snug spats, and how they fit, but also thinking that more stretch might cause the material to thin out a bit, feel lighter and thus feel more comfortable, I started trying smaller sizes. So, I bought the Anthem HELO-X spats in Medium, which in some ways fit good, but I need to try them in Large. The Anthem spats are designed to fight hardcore without shorts on. They have a drawstring, but also have a thin band of material that totally stops stretching at a certain point. There's no way they'll come off in a real fight. That point of maximum stretch happens to be barely enough for me to even get them on. This is also true of the cuff. The cuff maxes out at a pretty small diameter, and I have to be careful putting my foot through, so as not to rip them. I should have bought them in Large, however: The Anthems are just slightly loose above the ankle, and don't hug the bottom of my leg. It's kind of weird that the cuff is so tight, yet the section directly above it has slack. The Sanabuls hug very well from waist to cuff, to give a bit more of that second skin feel than the Anthems. The Anthems certainly hug almost all over, like a second skin, given that they are smaller than the recommended size, but they don't feel as luxurious as the Sanabuls. And by the way, don't be thrown off by the word luxurious. These are bona-fide grappling spats. They are more substantial than regular fitness spats. I've only owned them for a few minutes, but they feel like they are designed to take the abrasion of grappling, and guard against rash. I will definitely be buying more of these. In fact, although I will be buying one size up & one size down, just to see how they vary. They really feel stretchy enough to be comfortable & fit well at different amounts of compression. Also: I bought grey. I light the satin finish reflects light & shadows just like what I was hoping for. The waist band is surprisingly comfortable, given that I bought smaller than recommended size, and have a bit of a belly.

They fit and feel great. Currently I weight 81kg (179lbs) and my height is 1.74mts (roughly less than 5f 9") and use size M. I had a previous pair that the seams started to fray a little, but after three years it isn't a big deal.

It mystifies me that these are not 50$ spats because they are far beyond the quality of most 50$+ spats I have owned. I recommend them to all the ladies I teach as they aren't see through when you bend over, the knees don't wear out like most spats, and they fit incredibly (that's saying a lot being a woman with curves!). The reinforced crotch is also a huge plus because that's one of the first places that tears in most spats. I have three pairs, I bought the latter two after receiving the first one and realizing how good they were -I've had mine for 9 months and there are no signs of major wear besides slight fuzziness on the knees on one pair that I have worn more often. Ladies: I am 5'4, 155 lbs, curvy hourglass shape - the men's medium tights fit perfect. This size chart is from their website and it worked for me (I have a 29" waist) Size Waist X-Small 24 - 25 Small 26 - 27 Medium 28 - 29 Large 30.5 - 32 X-Large 33.5 - 35 XX-Large 35 - 37 If that's not enough to convince you, ask Rigan Machado who proudly sports Sanabul products! Don't let the price fool you! These are AMAZING!!

Using it for BJJ like most people on here although would say it feels "cool" on my legs when I walk to the gym. It's a nice feeling in the summer. I'd actually use these for running & hiking too. SIZE - I'm 6'0 160 lbs waiste 32-33. I went with L. Fits great. I read other folks about my size went with M... I'm sure I can squeeze in M but L is snug just alright. FEEL - Makes you feel "cleaner"... instead of sitting (or standing) in a constant pool of sweat stuck on you... Especially if you're a bit hairy or don't trim like me... It just feels way better (and for the people you roll with). I even tried them UNDER MY GI PANTS (I did to make sure they don't bleed)... And I liked it :) I feel the gi actually "flowed" on my legs better instead of gripping at the knees. Also feels cooler. COLOR BLEED - One thing though - it seems it bled a bit on the vinyl mats at the gym the first time I used them, even though I washed them once prior to first use in warm. It did not bleed on my skin nor other clothes. Washed them a few more times and haven't encountered any color bleed since then. Been 6+ years I've been looking funny at people wearing spatz... these changed my mind!

I originally bought these spats as a M (based on size guide and other reviewers) For reference, I am 5'10" 165lbs. I have gone up and down various weight classes/muscle size and assumed I could get the fit I wanted. When the spats first came in, I really liked the material, color, and simple design, but found the size to be too loose for my body type. I personally am more accustomed to tighter or more form fitting spats. I exchanged them for a S and found that size to be exactly what I was looking for. They're snug around the ankles, but don't worry, there's still plenty of room in the crotch! I would most definitely buy another pair and recommend to anyone looking for some affordable spats. Stay tuned for future updates! I hope you find this review helpful, cheers!

I'm about 1 month into these spats and I can say I like them much more than my ShockDoctor leggings, they are much smoother, fit better in all the right places and don't have random loose spots like some other spats have. I train Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu and love using these during training. They breathe extremely well and don't ride up or down when grappling. I also like that they aren't see through when they stretch, but I only wear them under my fight shorts so even if they did it wouldn't be a deal breaker. For the price you really cant go wrong. The only possible downside is the lack of a cup pocket, but I don't really wear cups so it's not an issue for me. I'm hoping they last me a long time but so far they seem like they will.

I purchased this rashguard pants back in March of 2019 and mainly use it for BJJ twice a week consistently. To this present day, the quality of this rash guard has been impressive! Rash guard is extremely comfortable, is also great to wear under clothes as a great insulation to stay warm during freezing winter weather, has survived hundreds of wash and dry cycles from washing machines. I highly recommend this rash guard, and would definitely buy it again.

I was really hoping this would turn my fat, flabby dad bod into something approximating the picture. Sorry. Especially sorry if you have to see me rolling in the dojo, and more-so if you are rolling with me. Needless to say, I better not post a picture with this review. I'm about 192lb, 5'10". My flab is chest/belly, but my legs and arms are decent, so I ordered a large. It is quite comfortable, with a nice amount of snugness that does require me to put it on like tights (pull onto ankles first, then work up). Fits fine over a cup. It has an almost magical cooling ability. Instantly drops my temperature so I feel like there are no tights on, to be honest. I was also very pleased to find it did not seem to have issues with static cling. That may change with a wash or two, but I hope not. It feels a bit like wearing underwear on the outside, which I'm not really a fan of, but I guess I'll get used to that, and wearing fight shorts over them helps with that.

Haven't had a pair of these before, have worn them quite a bit for BJJ, running and basketball. Not sure if they actually improve recovery time, but prevent me from losing skin on my knees.

nice elastic material. I have been using it for Judo and BJJ. I will reccomend

Haven't had them long but so far so good. They hold up on th mat.

Buenos spats por el precio. Son de buena calidad y me quedaron como esperaba (Large - mido 1.73 y uso 32-33 de cintura).

Bought these for no-gi Jiu Jitsu. Great fit, comfortable, and do the job. Wear them on average 6 hours of hard rolling a week and they show no signs of wear. For Gracie Barra guys, the logo does not show enough so you can wear it at those gyms (at least at mine).
