Our verdict
An inexpensive drawstring training short with a pocket for a gum shield (mouthguard), sold directly by RDX in sizes S to 3XL.
RDX lists a performance polyester fabric with 2% spandex, a drawstring waistband and 3-ply reinforced stitching. It also lists a dedicated pocket for a gum shield and sizes S to 3XL. RDX's page does not describe the cut, length or side slits. RDX's anti-microbial treatment claim is the manufacturer's and was not independently tested.
The pocket makes it a training short. MMA rule sets such as the ABC Unified Rules and UWW's amateur rules restrict pockets on competition shorts.
Beginners who want inexpensive shorts for MMA classes, bag work and sparring, including larger sizes up to 3XL.
You are buying shorts to compete in. You want a published cut or a stretch-panel design (see the Hayabusa Apex Core or Venum Light 5.0).
Pros
- A gum-shield pocket for training, per RDX
- Six sizes, S to 3XL
- Sold directly by RDX's UK store
Cons
- Cut, length and slits are not described by RDX
- Its pocket makes it a training short rather than a competition short
- Fabric composition only partly published (2% spandex)
Why we rated it this way
Comfort (3): a confirmed drawstring waistband and stretch content, but no cut or mobility detail.
Materials & Construction (3): RDX states polyester with 2% spandex, the normal build for MMA shorts, plus reinforced 3-ply stitching, which goes beyond it.
Value (3): A budget price for polyester-spandex shorts with a drawstring waist and a gum-shield pocket, in line with what shorts at this price normally offer.
