Who these trunks are for
Choose shatterglass if you want the most aggressive light catch we make. The fabric reflects stage spotlights in shattered points of light — it pops from across the venue, registers in flash photography, and draws the judges’ eye in lineups. This is the bodybuilding trunk for competitors who want the suit to amplify the physique, not disappear next to it.

Frequently asked questions
Do these meet NPC and IFBB bodybuilding guidelines?
Yes. The Rio cut with gather back meets current NPC and IFBB open bodybuilding and 212 coverage requirements. Solid hologram fabrics are stage-legal under current rules.
What’s the difference between shatterglass and mist hologram?
Both are hologram fabrics, but they reflect light very differently. Shatterglass throws shattered points of bright light from every angle — aggressive, eye-catching, dominant under spotlights. Mist has a softer, more diffused shine that reads refined and photographs cleanly without overpowering the physique. Choose shatterglass if you want the suit to be a focal point. Choose mist if you want shine that supports the physique without competing with it.
How fast do you ship?
Most in-stock men’s trunks ship same-day or next business day from Clearwater, Florida. If you have a show in less than a week, call us at 727-784-0844 before ordering and we’ll confirm what’s possible for your date.
Will competition tan transfer to the shatterglass?
Hologram fabric is less forgiving than matte lycra when it comes to tan transfer. Always apply your competition tan well in advance and confirm it is fully dry before putting on the trunk. Bring a backup pair to the venue for the morning show if you are also competing in the evening show.
Care
Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Lay flat to dry — never put competition fabric in the dryer. Hologram fabric requires gentle handling: avoid hangers with sharp edges, do not iron, and store flat to prevent creasing that can dull the reflectivity.
