Diamond MMA mens Adult Sport shorts (pack of 1)

Well made, cup stays in place. Worth the price.

I've tried several different protectors and this is easily my favorite. Amazon sent me a *used* set. Yes. Used. Pubic hair included. It was in a 'Ready to Ship' poly bag. It was overnighted by Lone Star, who left it on the side of the road near my mailbox in the tick infested grass where all the traffic driving by could see a package, instead of at our house like _every_ other delivery company. Lucky it wasn't stolen. So, Amazon: FAIL. Lone Star: FAIL. Note this was Amazon fulfillment's fault, NOT the seller. The seller, and owner of the company, Craig, came to my rescue. He promptly shipped out a *new* pair directly to me. It still came in a poly bag, but a normal packaging bag with a UPC label indicated what was supposed to be in it, instead of a shipping bag. The cup was also wrapped in it's own plastic, and there was a product tag in the bag for Diamond. Seller: WIN! Fast service and made things right. On to the product. I was worried about all the straps being an issue. It has a lot of straps - two inside and two outside. It isn't really difficult at all to figure out how to wear, and I was pleased with how comfortable it was. The straps were not irritating like my other (Walmart) jock strap. The compression shorts are very comfortable. I've been wearing relaxed fit size 38 pants for several years, and after starting krav maga a few months ago I've been losing inches (not weight). I haven't tested yet to see if I fit in my old 36's, but I wouldn't be surprised with all the slack my 38's have had and the tightened notches on my belt. Anyway, the XL set fits well without me worrying about ripping out the shorts. Not a lot of compression, but they are at least skin tight for me. This is _WAY_ better than the shorts/cup combo I picked up at a local sports store. Those shorts were too tight and the cup was a joke. I don't know how anyone can fit their giblets inside those skinny banana things... The cup that comes with the Diamond MMA is a good shape and reasonable size and comfortable inside the pocket of the shorts. I dock a star from the product because there is only once size cup (adult large), and it takes some arranging to attempt to pack everything in there. It also doesn't allow any airflow. Is it worth $90? I'm on the fence still. I'll keep the excellent shorts, and the cup is good enough for now, though I may still find myself shopping around for a bigger one. The excellent customer service certainly helps make it worth it. **UPDATE** I've been in krav maga for nearly 3 years now, 3 classes a week. Down to size 34 waist, and the XL still fits OK. I've been swapping between 2 sets of these shorts over the last 2 1/2 years, and it's finally time to replace the compression shorts as the rubber straps are getting too damaged from washing. I wash them with the cup still in place. Happily they sell the shorts alone for a bit less. It is absolutely worth the money. I don't plan to ever buy a different brand. These have solidly protected me against random crotch shots over the years quite well. I do not wear them for extended running (we had to run a timed mile in a recent test) to prevent chafing.

Best jockstrap i ever had

They are very comfortable and that as well as Protection is all I wanted

I have tried a number of compression shorts (well wasted time and money on compression shorts as there is no try before you buy) but always went back to a normal over trouser groin guard, I don't do MMA but Krav Maga and the transition from warm up and sparring sometimes is blurred so need to wear at all times (if you have ever taken a shot then you will understand). So jogging to floor work to grappling to stand up sparring then to ground again constantly meant slipping, stopping and readjusting or taking a shot when not in place hurts. Thought the price was a bit much until I used for the first time, no slipping very comfortable and then took a full on knee (which wearing anything would have dropped me) but absolutely nothing got through. Just ordered another pair of shorts , to sum up worth every penny
