I was hesitant to write this review, as I would hate to have a negative effect on a brother’s or sister’s business. But having had the shorts for a while now, I think I can offer some constructive feedback and suggestions.
First of all, I want to say how glad it makes me to see small Muslim business owners catering to our needs. For me, being covered while playing football and training BJJ is very important, which is why I decided to buy three of your shorts for me and my brothers.
All in all, I think the shorts are okay—they serve their purpose—but there are a few crucial points I’d like to raise to help you improve the product.
1. Stitching quality
The stitching for the shorts that I received was not that great. After just a wash or two, the stitching on the shorts has started to come apart, and I’m not confident they’ll last very long. I can send pictures if you’d like so you can see. Maybe a better stitching method can be used to make sure they hold up. I'm not sure about the technicalities.
2. Inconsistency between colours
There’s a noticeable difference between the black and blue shorts. The black pair seems better made, whereas the stitching on the blue pair is worse. Also, the blue shorts have pockets that can't be zipped up unlike the black ones, which is an important difference. I’m not sure I remember seeing this difference made clear on the website. For Jiu-Jitsu, it's important that shorts either don't have pockets or are zipped up. As fingers or toes can get caught in pockets and cause injury—so that would have have been helpful to know this beforehand.
3. Fit and comfort
There are a few minor design tweaks that could improve comfort. I noticed that the shorts tend to sit quite low on the waist and can expose underwear unless they’re pulled up tightly and the drawstring is tied. This might just be a design issue worth looking into. I’m not sure how you’d even fix this.
Also, while the shorts cover the knee well (which is great), I found that the fabric tends to bunch up behind the knee—especially for someone like me who has slightly larger calves. It’s not a major issue, as I tend to forget about it while exercising, but something to consider if you’re refining the design.
All in all, I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit it’s intended. I don’t want to harm your business in any way—rather, I hope it helps you to grow and improve. I do like your product, but the stitching, makes me wonder how long they'll last.
My brother or sister, I’m happy with whatever you decide to do moving forward. I’m just glad to see Muslim businesses in this space, so I ask that Allah blesses your business and allows it to grow and improve.
Great
the shorts tights cover your knees perfectly and never slip during fooballing activity. However i would recommend anyone whos got a thicker lower body to get a size up though i had to get a large even though i normally get a medium. For running there sound aswell no issues whatsoever.
This looks and feels awesome.
Brilliant idea and such a great product and when worn feels amazing.
These shorts are simply PERFECT! Playing in trousers often makes me feel too heavy, so I needed shorts that would cover my awrah. Thankfully, a friend recommended me Adapt, and I haven’t looked back since! These shorts are super light and super comfortable, they cover your awrah aswell. It’s the perfect option to go for, as it has helped me regain that sharpness in my movement in sports, without compromising my deen.
