Fairtex Muay Thai Shorts FXB Fade - Blue

In short: The Fairtex Muay Thai Shorts FXB Fade in blue are professional Muay Thai shorts made from microfibre satin, designed in collaboration with Booster Fightgear. They offer maximum freedom of movement thanks to the high side slit and six elastic strips, ideal for intensive Muay Thai training and competitions.

These shorts suit men, women and kids who practise Muay Thai, kickboxing or K-1, from beginner to advanced level. The FXB Fade range combines Fairtex's quality with Booster's modern design. If you're looking for a simple basic short without extra elastic strips or prefer a tighter fit, consider a classic model instead.

Difference from classic Fairtex shorts

The FXB Fade range is part of the new generation of Fairtex shorts and differs from classic models. The main difference lies in the smaller waistband and six elastic strips inside, compared to four strips on traditional Fairtex shorts. The high side slit is similar, but the microfibre satin feels smoother than the satin of older models. This collaboration with Booster Fightgear has resulted in a more modern design with a fade colour gradient, whereas classic Fairtex shorts often feature solid colours or traditional Thai patterns. The design keeps the shorts in place during kicks, knees and clinches, without extra bulk.

Sizing advice

Fairtex uses Asian sizes that differ from European clothing sizes. Measure your hip circumference (the widest point) and waist, and compare these with the size guide. Note: the sizes in the guide are product measurements, not body measurements. The elastic waistband and adjustable drawstring offer some flexibility, but if you're unsure between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort and freedom of movement. The return data shows different experiences, so always use the size guide as your reference.

FAQ

What size Fairtex shorts should I order?

Measure your hip circumference and compare it with the size guide. The sizes are product measurements, not body measurements. The elastic waistband offers some flexibility. If you're unsure between two sizes, choose the larger one for more room during high kicks and knees.

What's the difference between these FXB Fade shorts and standard Fairtex shorts?

The FXB Fade has six elastic strips instead of four, a smaller waistband and a modern fade design from the collaboration with Booster Fightgear. The microfibre satin from Thailand is smoother than in classic models and dries faster.

Are these Muay Thai shorts suitable for women?

Yes, these shorts have a unisex fit and can be worn by both men and women. The adjustable drawstring and elastic strips ensure a good fit. Do check the size guide, as the fit is roomier.

Can I use these shorts for kickboxing and MMA too?

These shorts are excellent for kickboxing, Muay Thai and K-1. For MMA they're less ideal because the loose fit and satin are less practical during ground work; MMA shorts are tighter and shorter.
