Sanabul 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.

Great fit. Feels great. Feels sturdy. Perfect for No Gi BJJ or wrestling but I would say it’s great as long-johns in the winter or perhaps a crisp jog.Price is great too.

Fits well

We bought 2... one for my fiance, one for me. He says that they fit as expected and are good for crossfit and jiujitsu. I have worn my pair a few times for weight lifting and they fit pretty well. For the price, these are excellent. They don't feel as high quality as my under armour pants, but definitely do not feel cheap like my east bay brand compression pants.

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.

Don't let the price fool you! These are AMAZING!!

Got the basic black in the recommended size according to their size guide. Very comfortable and flexible fabric. Used once so far and no problems. Seems to stretch more which is less restricting than my other spats. If you want more compression I’d recommend sizing down as long as the waist accommodates.

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.

The one negative is that since I am a female, there’s some sagging in the crotch area; I’d imagine a man will have adequate room for their junk. I only bought these to wear under my gi so it’s all good but I certainly don’t walk around in them without my gi bottoms.
