Oh my…I almost thought about posting pictures with no review because these things rendered me speechless when I opened them this afternoon. SPRAWL has created something unlike anything I have ever seen or heard of before. These things are amazing. For all the construction details go here (http://sprawl.tv/p_v_flex_xt.html) because SPRAWL explains the construction and details better than I can. Ill just give you my initial take on the shorts. As with all my recent reviews Ill try my best to update it with how the shorts are holding up.

My initial impression is these things are going to go the distance construction wise. The same stitch is used but it looks cleaner. The shorts are made of a completely new material, a “heavy-duty stretch fabric.” Because of this fabric I’m going to buy another pair for chilling, one for the beach in and one to sleep in; I guess my point is these are very comfortable shorts. They also have un-inhibited motion, because of the stretch fabric, flex panels and lightweight material you don’t feel like your wearing anything.

The sizing is definitely different. I’ll bold that because it is super important. Steve shipped me a 28, in all other SPRAWLS I have been a 30 so I was bummed at first and thought he got my size wrong. But as always Steve knew what he was doing and these fit perfectly. The waistband feels much different and is made from a different material from the 06’s that I also own. It is thicker (see the pics below) and much softer. My cup also fits more comfortably. I think the sizing is more “true” so you can order closer to your actual size.

All the stitching is black so it gives the short a much lower profile and draws a lot more attention to the super clean embroidered logos. The new logos are a hollow version of the original style, I like them. These are the competition version of the shorts so the large SPRAWL is on the front right and back left.

These are the sweetest pair of shorts that I own period. You can get them in new white and brown colors too. If you want any specific pictures just let me know and I will do my best to answer any questions that you may have.
