Caged menswear

At a glance: Caged menswear offers a complete range of training and fight wear for martial artists, from Muay Thai shorts and training shorts to rashguards, T-shirts, running shorts and crew socks. The collection is available in sizes S through XXL (clothing) and S (35–39) through L (44–49) for socks, designed for serious training and competition across boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai and MMA.

What Caged menswear includes

The Caged menswear collection covers every layer you need for training and fighting. At the core are the Muay Thai Shorts Classic, built for full mobility during kicks and clinch work, available in colourways including Black/White, Navy Blue/White, Khaki Green/Black, Bordeaux Red/White, Light Blue and Light Gray/Black. The Essential training shorts offer a more streamlined option for general gym work and conditioning. For upper-body training you will find T-shirts such as the Training Club model, rashguards for grappling and no-gi sessions, and running shorts for roadwork and cardio. The range also includes crew socks in white, designed to handle the demands of daily training.

Sizes and fit

Caged clothing runs in standard sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL, covering most adult builds. The Muay Thai shorts use a wide elastic waistband and drawstring to accommodate different body types within each size, while the cut is shorter than Western athletic shorts to allow unrestricted leg movement. Training shorts and running shorts follow a more conventional athletic fit. Rashguards are designed for a snug, compression-style fit that stays in place during grappling. Crew socks are sized separately: S fits UK 2.5–6 (EU 35–39), M fits UK 6.5–9 (EU 40–43), and L fits UK 9.5–13.5 (EU 44–49).

Choosing by training discipline

For Muay Thai and kickboxing, the Muay Thai Shorts Classic are purpose-built: the wide leg openings and short inseam let you throw high kicks and knees without restriction, and the satin-style fabric reduces friction during clinch exchanges. MMA fighters training stand-up will find the same shorts useful, though many prefer the Essential training shorts or rashguards for mixed sessions that include ground work. Boxers often choose training shorts or running shorts for roadwork and bag sessions, reserving competition trunks for sparring. The T-shirts and rashguards suit any discipline for warm-ups, strength work or technique drills, while the crew socks provide everyday training support across all martial arts.

Frequently asked questions

Which Caged menswear is the best choice?

For Muay Thai and kickboxing, the Caged Muay Thai Shorts Classic are the top pick: they offer unrestricted leg movement, a secure waistband and a range of colourways to suit personal preference or gym colours. For general training and conditioning, the Caged Essential training shorts provide a more conventional fit that works across disciplines. If you train multiple martial arts or need versatile gym wear, consider pairing a rashguard or T-shirt with either shorts option to cover stand-up and ground sessions.

What size Caged clothing should I buy?

Caged menswear follows standard European sizing, so choose your usual size for T-shirts and training shorts. Muay Thai shorts run true to size but are designed to sit on the hips with an adjustable drawstring, so if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, size up. Rashguards are cut for compression, so stick to your normal size for the intended snug fit. For crew socks, measure your foot length or check your usual shoe size: S covers EU 35–39, M covers 40–43, and L covers 44–49.

Can I use Caged Muay Thai shorts for MMA or boxing training?

Yes, Caged Muay Thai shorts work well for MMA stand-up training and boxing bag sessions, though the short cut and wide leg openings are optimised for high kicks rather than grappling. Many MMA fighters wear them for striking-focused rounds and switch to rashguards or grappling shorts for ground work. Boxers often prefer the Essential training shorts or dedicated boxing trunks for sparring and pad work, as the longer inseam and narrower cut suit a boxing stance. For pure striking training, Muay Thai shorts are an excellent choice across all three disciplines.
