Why FLX?
Every detail in this short exists to get out of your way. The scalloped cut stays clear on every squat, clean, and box jump. The perforated back panel moves heat before you feel it. The fabric is heavy enough to survive barbell contact and turf — and still stretch in four directions without pulling.
We didn't design this for Instagram. We designed it for the person who shows up before the lights come on and doesn't leave until the work is done.

FAQs

Heavy-duty 4-way stretch built to handle real training — barbell contact, turf, rope climbs, everything. Not the thin stuff that looks good on a hanger. This fabric is built to take a beating and hold its shape. It's also why this short has a longer break-in feel than cheaper alternatives — that's the durability talking.
We've had customers training in these for two-plus years without degradation. The scallop cut holds, the pockets hold, the fabric holds. That's the point. Buy it once, train in it for years
