Summer’s not over yet, but we are starting to see a little pants weather sneak into shorts season.
That doesn’t mean that it’s time to pack up all of the performance and fashion-forward ProForce shorts we profiled last month or relegate them to indoor training for the rest of the year. There are still plenty of warm and hot days ahead. And plenty of chances to show your shorts off during training and beyond.
But there are some chilly nights and a temperate fall ahead. So it might be time to add a slick and functional pair of ProForce pants or two to your martial arts apparel roster.
To help you find the best pairs for your training and leisure needs, we’ve put together this look at ProForce’s Karate pants roster. Whether you’re searching for something to train in, wear as a cover up on your way to and from the gym, take on the town, or get cozy in at home, there’s something here for you. ProForce will have you looking and feeling cooler than a late fall day.
Demo Pants
Just like the name says, these pants are designed for Karate demonstrations. Their lighter weight fabrics and looser fits give you all of the comfort and ease of movement you need to perform to the best of your abilities in acrobatic displays, forms, and other public performances. And their eye-catching designs do their part to keep all eyes on you and highlight your skills.
But all of the things that make a good pair of demo pants the perfect fit for Karate demos make them a great choice for all sorts of other activities, too. Their mix of form and fashion can keep you feeling and looking good on the way to and from the gym, lounging around at home, or showing off your streetwear style.
ProForce Sport® Gladiator Demo Karate Pants II: These 8oz pants are made from a soft and comfortable medium weight cotton and polyester blend that’s equally suitable for work and play. They have a drawstring waist and a cool but understated double stripe design along the outer legs that’s available in six colorways. Plus, they have pockets! $31.99-$39.99 USD.
ProForce Sport® Gladiator Demo Karate Pants: If you love the overall look and feel of the ProForce Sport® Gladiator Demo Karate Pants II, but aren’t sure if that exact design is for you, these pants offer the same comfy but durable fabric with a single solid stripe and four different color options. $31.99-$44.99 USD.
ProForce® Demo III Karate Pants: And if you love the look and feel of ProForce Sport® Gladiator Demo Karate Pants II, but are in the market for something a little breezier, this member of the ProForce® Demo family comes in a 6oz cotton and polyester blend. $39.95-$59.95 USD.
Athleisure Demo Pants
Are you in the mood for even more flash? ProForce’s athleisure line has some stunners that will keep you looking good in competition, on the street, on the dancefloor, and anywhere else you want to take them.
ProForce Sport® Satin Demo Pants: For the more fashion forward demo pants fans — or anyone looking for an even softer take on the style — ProForce® Sport has a 6oz lightweight contender. As pretty as they are powerful, these polyester satin pants have a drawstring waist, pockets, and the kind of bold and boundary pushing look we’ve come to know and love from ProForce Sport®. Available in light blue, white, pink, and yellow. $49.99 USD.
ProForce Sport® Demo Karate Pants: For anyone who loves the flashier ProForce Sport® looks but isn’t sure about satin, the athleisure line also offers a demo pant design in an 8oz cotton and polyester blend. This spin on the classic demo pants style also has a drawstring waist and side pockets. And it comes in four color combinations, ranging from more traditional and subtle (black with green and yellow stripes, black with yellow and red stripes), to the quietly innovative (half black and half white with stripes), to the loud and vibrant (red, blue, and yellow).$29.95 USD.
Karate Uniform Pants
Karate pants also do exactly what they say on the tin and a whole lot more. They’re great for more casual training that doesn’t require a full gi. You can also use them as replacement parts in a martial arts uniform if your training style is harder on pants than gi tops.
But you can also wear them for other types of martial arts training and cross-training. After a few washes, they can also become pretty cozy lounge and pyjama pants.
ProForce® Gladiator Karate Pants: These classic, lightweight all purpose Karate pants are made with a cotton and polyester blend and feature an elastic drawstring waist. They’re available in black and white and 6oz and 8oz, weaves. $22.99-$29.99 USD.
ProForce® Gladiator Karate Pants: If you’re looking for a more traditional style and more durable weave, ProForce® also offers 100% cotton Gladiator Karate Pants with a traditional drawstring waist in 12oz and 14oz. $49.99-$64.95 USD.
“Ultra” Gladiator® Proforce® Karate Pants: If you’re more interested in the latest innovation in Karate pants, this 5oz cotton and polyester twill blend model is the one for you. Their elastic waistband and drawstring will provide you with maximum security and comfort. A diamond gusseted crotch and an expanded seat and thigh fit will give you all of the freedom of motion you need for kicks, splits, and any other big moves. And their double stitched seams are there to help those pants survive all of the wear and tear you’ll put them through in training and beyond. They even have reinforced side pockets so that you can keep your essentials close before and after class. $44.99-$54.99 USD.
