What buyers need to know
A high-split 2-in-1 grappling short should balance unrestricted leg clearance with secure inner-layer coverage. TONTON’s current sample combines a breathable quick-dry four-way stretch shell, ultra-high gladiator split and a soft 250gsm milk-silk compression liner.

BUYER DECISION TABLE
Match the specification to the intended use
| Option | Best suited to | Confirm before approval |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra-high split | High kicks, shots, sprawls and wide grappling positions | Check split height and coverage during sport-specific movement |
| Four-way stretch outer shell | Fast transitions and functional training | Confirm stretch recovery, breathability and quick-dry direction |
| 250gsm compression liner | Buyers requiring support, coverage and printable inner artwork | Review liner length, hand feel, opacity and seam comfort |
Mobility without losing coverage
The outer split releases the thigh for high kicks, shots, sprawls and wide grappling positions. The fitted liner stays closer to the body to provide support and coverage through those movements.
What buyers can customize
- Inner-liner patterns and artwork
- Outer-shell logos and sponsor marks
- Waistband branding and drawstring direction
- Split height, fit and size range on the approved sample
- Tagless label and packaging requirements
Recommended sample checks
Review waistband stability, split height, liner coverage, stretch recovery, reinforced seams and graphic placement during sport-specific movement before bulk production is approved.
WHEN NOT TO USE THIS DIRECTION
Limits buyers should confirm
- A very high split may not suit buyers who prefer a conservative outer silhouette.
- Do not approve liner artwork without checking stretch distortion and placement on a sample.
- Do not treat the 250gsm liner specification as universal across unrelated shorts styles.
