So I was thinking the other day, it's weird that no short company has brought out a pair of shorts made of or consisting of some sort of towel material.
I mean slick hands are a problem for grip and fighters get time to wipe their hands in positions like side control so why not make shorts with a material that can help?
It's just an idea...
I want to make a pair out of skin......so it's like you're not wearing anything at all and the hairy crotch can be used for grip......

Yes I thought about it, you could have strips of towel material rather than full shorts.
It's not a completely daft idea...I dont think.
Once it soaks up your sweat it would be worthless for the intended purpose so I think sticking with the more comfortable, more durable materials is probably the way to go.
Jiu Jitsu Pro Gear has shorts that have a little bit of gi material on them (the white parts, but these also come in white/white and black/black). The rest is light MMA shorts material so it's not hot or hard to move in. I have 3 pair.
Kinda gets your idea done.
I think he meant have a small section of the shorts be absorbent, not the entire shorts be towel material, just somewhere to wipe your hands...but at the same time, what good is wiping your hands when you have the gloves on...seems minimal.
