What else should I consider?
Apart from taking into consideration the environment in which you are going to use the shorts you may also want to consider ankle supports, even though ankle supports do not go hand in hand with shorts we find that many people tend to purchase ankle supports when purchasing shorts.
Ankle supports help to reduce ankle injuries, which is particular important seeming that any technique whether it be kicking, knee and even boxing will come from the floor. Your feet need to be in the correct position to throw any technique in any martial art. Otherwise you will be off balance, lose power and/or be vulnerable to a counter.
How do I take care of my shorts?
Thai shorts can be machined washed. However if you spend the time to hand wash them they will last a lot longer.
