Okay, so I bought these Farabi Muay Thai shorts back in 2017 (yes, you read that right) and guess what? They're STILL in my rotation. That's like dinosaur years in activewear terms.
The blue color hasn't faded one bit, which is wild because I've washed these bad boys approximately 9,000 times. The fit is perfect – not too tight, not too loose, just right for throwing knees and elbows without feeling restricted.
What really surprised me is how the elastic waistband hasn't given up on life yet. Most of my other training gear stretches out after a few months, but this thing is holding strong like it's got something to prove.
Only minor complaint? The stitching could be better in some spots. But honestly, for how much abuse I've put these through (we're talking sweaty training sessions, being stuffed in gym bags, questionable laundry habits), they've held up way better than pricier brands I've tried.
Thinking about getting another pair just because they deserve a retirement at this point. Maybe that tiger embroidery will bring me good fight karma!
