Description

No pockets. No velcro. No colour to clash.

The STEEL Core Essentials Combat Shorts take the pocketless build the line is known for and put it in the one colourway that matches whatever is already in your bag.

Why you’ll love them

  • Unrestricted range — 4-way stretch fabric with a reinforced crotch gusset. Full guard, rubber guard, deep half: nothing pulls, nothing tears.
  • Zero snag points — pocketless, velcro-free design. Nothing for fingers or toes to catch on. Nothing that scrapes a training partner.
  • Locked waist system — internal flat drawcord with a low-profile closure stays tied through scrambles and stays invisible under pressure.
  • Sublimated graphics — dyed into the fabric. Mat friction will not peel them.
  • Fast-dry build — lightweight technical weave sheds sweat and is ready for the next session before you are.

Technical specifications

  • Fabric: Lightweight 4-way stretch technical weave — 95% polyester with a 5% spandex panel
  • Gusset: Reinforced diamond crotch panel
  • Closure: Internal flat drawcord — no velcro, no external hardware
  • Graphics: Full sublimation
  • Fit: Above-knee competition cut. True to size.

The name

Excess is a liability on the mat. Every pocket, flap, and strip of velcro is a handle you hand your opponent. Steel keeps the UNVEXT standard in the plainest finish we make: nothing to grab, nothing to match, nothing wasted. Free from disturbance.

Fabric Care

Composition & care

95% polyester with a 5% spandex panel. Machine wash cold. Hang dry. No bleach, no softener. The velcro-free design means nothing in your wash destroys your rash guards.

The Standards

Our Foundation

Durability At Unvext Group, quality isn’t a goal; it is our baseline. Every piece of gear we produce must withstand the extreme rigors of high-level grappling and striking. We prioritize industrial-grade materials and reinforced construction to ensure our gear survives the "grind" as long as the athlete does.
Timeless We believe that true style outlasts the season. Unvext Group adheres to a clean, functional aesthetic that rejects fleeting trends and visual clutter. Our designs are intentionally understated, allowing the athlete's performance to be the focal point.
Evolution While our designs are timeless, our technology is never static. We operate in a state of constant "white belt" humility, always learning and adapting to the shifting needs of the MMA and BJJ markets. We iterate based on real-world feedback from the cage and the mats.
