Blue Rehband Neoprene Shorts coming back in Stock - Jackal's Gym

[Cmanuel]

I know there are at least a few threads here on the SS forums concerning alternatives to the Blue Rehband Shorts. Well, I read that Jackal's Gym will be stocking these again soon, so I just wanted everyone to be aware of this before they went out and dropped some money on some of the inferior alternatives out there

Good to know. I've been wanting these.

I wear mine for every squat session. I love them. Bought them in 2005 and they're still going strong.

That's impressive. What sort of care/washing do you follow to keep them in top shape? My Vulkan shorts are already starting to come apart at the seams after 2 years, but that might be due to inferior quality. I am going to get a pair of the blues once they come out

Usually they smell like a homeless guy. Then I'll take them home and wash them on gentle cycle, cold, with a little bleach.

Are these different than squatting briefs?

Oh yes. These are just a thicker (1.5mm) neoprene short designed to keep a bit of compression/warmth on your hip area

Squatting briefs are actually made from Powerlifting gear material... They are a pain to get on and are designed to give you some rebound in the hole. Two different animals
