Designed for combat sports originally but great for any activity where you want all natural shorts and you don't need pockets (pockets are illegal in competition). The shorts have a substantial tactile feel vs cheap slippery synthetic shorts and yet are very comfortable because they also breathe well. They are very durable, and the naturally anti-microbial properties of hemp will help protect you from staph and other nasties. Featuring the same 100% hemp twill weave that we use in our gi pants our Fight Shorts are a great non-toxic alternative to plastic based so called "performance" sports gear.

Please note a few of these units may have an incorrect care tag that shows the shorts being 55/45 Hemp/Recycled Polyester, this is a manufacturer update error, all current shorts are 100% hemp save for trim like the logo.

Technical specs

• Made of durable 100% Hemp twill (Why Hemp?)
• 3.5" Split side seams for unrestricted motion
• Velcro closure with drawstring
• Reinforced stitching for strength and durability
• Hemp twill fabric provides good grip
• Machine washable

Care

Bag Care: You will likely never need to wash your Datsusara bag as hemp stays naturally clean due to it's antimicrobial and breathing properties. In case you do we recommend you only hand wash in cold water (cold water prevents material shrinkage) and line dry. It is possible to machine wash the bags but it's tricky and we cannot warranty against damage from machine washing. As for the "Nasty bags" (which are synthetic) we recommend washing them however you like but line dry.

Apparel Care: For apparel you can wash however you want. But don't use any bleach as it weakens the hemp, and do keep in mind the hotter the water and dryer setting the more things will shrink.

For new gis we strongly recommend machine washing at least 2-3 times to prevent shedding of the material which occurs naturally with our 100% hemp gis.

Price went up and they are now using the cheap scratchy Velcro

Price went up and they are now using the cheap scratchy Velcro. Not as good as my old pair

The velcro is actually better on the latest batch although yes it can seem a little more stiff to the touch, it's low profile and more durable. Sorry that you don't like them as much in any case. We did adjust th length recently to be a bit shorter as so many requested and yes prices did go up, I keep trying to keep them down but hemp and other materials have gone up so much we have to adjust prices to compensate. -Chris

The materials quality is excellent. The design and the fit of the shorts is very nice as well. They’re pretty comfortable, although I wish that the legs were shorter. They can be slightly restricting to your movement due to the length. Overall, a really good option for fight shorts.

Tough, good-looking, and comfortable, had to size down.

In order to have a good fit for BJJ, I had to size down. So far, the shorts are solid, tough, good-looking, and comfortable. I fear the Velcro will ruin (it does have a flap that covers all or most of the velcro) other clothing in a machine wash, so I keep it in a mesh bag during the wash.

Quality shorts.

The shorts are very durable and built well. My only critique would be to make them shorter and wider in the groin/inseam.

9 months in still awesome

Love these shorts. Nice soft and natural feel to the material vs the thin synthetic materials in other shorts. I’ve never had any “stink” issues which is great. I really like the level of stretch with this material, not too much and not too little. Also enjoy how the black has faded over time to give it a nice worn appearance but still looks sharp. Construction quality seems great and I’ve had no issues with these in any way.

Older style was better

I bought a pair in 2016, and another pair in 2018. The pair from 2016 had a round, thick internal draw string which stayed tied very well and is easier to untie. The 2018 pair had a thin shoe-lace style draw string that is hard to untie if knotted. Also, the 2018 pair has a Datsusara logo on the front left thigh which is stitched funny and causes the cloth to warp, while the pair from 2016 had a much higher quality embroidery of the logo on the front left thigh and did not cause the cloth to warp.
I would give the pair of shorts from 2016 5 stars, no question. I still wear them 2 or 3 days a week, they are the best shorts I've owned. The pair from 2018 I would rate as 4 stars. Still very well made, but the minor annoyances listed above prevent a perfect score. .

BEST SHORTS AND AND STELLAR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I've waited to write a review as I like to road-test stuff out before I put my name to anything and recommend it to others. I've had these shorts now for a few months and have rolled in them four to five nights a week in no gi BJJ.

The cut is comfortable and non restrictive. Hemp seems to get softer the more you wash it yet still maintains its durability. They kind of feel like my gi pants but much more comfy. I love the drawstring and flap over velcro design. The velcro used is high quality and super strong, it doesn't get all funky like other shorts I have owned. The drawstring doesn't thread through in the wash like other shorts and the flap over design maintains that they don't come apart in hard open mat rolling.

The stitching and embroidery is super high quality and has not come undone or threaded out like pretty much all of my other no gi gear. For some reason after a few rolls I start seeing stitching hanging off the legs and seams. Not on these at all.

My initial order arrived incorrect (I ordered a Medium and an XL came in a medium bag) so I reached out and was sorted out with the correct order super quick. I truly value customer service and it is exceptional here.

Do yourself a favour and support a great company delivering a great product, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend!

Real Value

The fight shorts will never shrink like synthetic material(left in dryer on max heat=ruined) . So if your looking for high durability and long term value..... this is it.

Fits true to size. Comfortable shorts

I have used this a ton already and it has lasted so far. Material is comfortable and looks great. It is longer than traditional muay thai shorts but they still work well. Highly recommend.

Favorite Shorts

I have an old model of the fight shorts that have pockets. They are my favorite shorts and I am planning on picking up a new pair for nogi. The material just keeps getting better the more you use it and wash it!

Sizing a bit off?

I usually order size 32 with all my pants without any major discrepancies and I don't know if it's the difference between a US 32 and an Australian 32 but I found it too big for me. The velcro fly and front band didn't help with adjusting much at all. It's clear that the shorts are designed to keep to the size, which is far enough. But the chord is weirdly too short, I have trouble tying a double knot.
That being said the quality is amazing, I love the fabric, I love the cut and how these shorts feel. I use them as every day shorts now because they'll slip right off if I roll with them, haha. I think they're a great product.

Perfect, seriously.

I own several different pairs of board/fight shorts, and these are by far the best. They fit perfect, and the material weight is exactly right. I love wearing these for bouldering and yoga as well as martial arts training.

Great Shorts

The HFS-04s are really soft, breathable, and fit really well. However, I was disappointed that the side split seams were about three inches rather than six inches as stated in the description.

Amazing Shorts!

These shorts are great feeling, like any well made hemp clothing. They are awesome for any workout/ stretching/ martial art training I have been doing recently and defiantly would recommend to anyone love great quality made sports wear. The size is accurate and does not shrink much if washing directions followed. Also customer service was very prompt and helpful (seem like great guys) thank you. GREAT BUY!!!

Solid non-flashy, super durable, comfy, and breathable shorts. Of all the board and fight shorts I have, these are my overall favorite.

Best idea since sliced bread

I expected them to be heavy, like pearl weave heavy but nope. Not even comparable. Being a hemp/recycled polyester blend keeps them light and breathable while staying hemp strong. I was amazed at how unrestrictive they were. I use alot of flexibility on the ground and never once felt like they were bunching up or pulling at me.

Best thing I've ever bought

These shorts are worn in "any activities that don't require pockets" - weightlifting, BJJ, bouldering, etc.
They have awesome vintage look and it has stayed like that for the past 3 years of my abusive uses (seriously, not even a thread popped).
They do get "heavy" after a long and heavy rolling session, but I will not complain since I wouldn't choose others made with poly, over hemp shorts.
One of the best fitness-related-investment I've ever made (along with other dsgears)!

Hemp Fight Shorts

Just received my Hemp Fight Shorts from Datsusara.As always, they ship right away, provided the tracking number and I received the shorts 2 days later.
I own 5 pairs of MMA shorts and these are easily my Favorite. The hemp fabric is extremely comfortable, and the fact that Datsusara's Hemp gear is antimicrobial would solidify these as the ideal pair of MMA shorts. There's nothing but good things to say about this company. I'm Going to buy another pair and I would highly recommend.

Good but could be better

Ive been using the shorts for the last two months, and well they are good shorts only problems im having is the stitching on the velcro started to come undone and also by the slits on the legs, other then that i would think about buying another pair or two

agreed, the velcro was terrible on this last batch, please email us for a code to get a free pair when they return.

Light and Tough

I have been wanting a pair of Datsusara fight shorts since they first came out with them, but have held out for quite a while. When pre-orders opened up for the HFS-03, though, I gave in and waited eagerly for the shorts to arrive. So far, these shorts have held up to lifting and bagwork in 99+ degree heat, sparring, and grappling, without any complaints. They are light and airy, so you never feel stifled or sticky, and they are tough enough to be yanked on and stretched without tearing. The embroidery is simple and of good quality, and leaves plenty of room for you to add your own patches or embroidery to represent your gym or sponsors. The only complaint I have is that the slits in the sides of the legs are 6" long, and can be pretty revealing in certain kicking or grappling situations. If you wear compression shorts underneath, or don't care about people seeing whatever you're wearing under the shorts, then it's not a problem, and they do give you lots of room to move. I think 4" would have been long enough, and may just sew a gusset in the top inch or two if it becomes a problem, but it's definitely not a deal-breaker!
