I’m in my mid-60s, retired Navy and retired federal LEO. (For those that don’t know, Ten Thousand offers a 25% discount to the military….through GovX). I was always a runner, but career-injuries have taken that joy away. Now I hike/backpack long distance and am getting into biking/bikepacking--to stay in shape. I’ve got my weight back to what it was in my 20s-and have taken up upper body strength training mainly just to stay toned. But…during the summer, all I wear is active shorts. I really like that this is a “veteran support” company, and while slightly expensive, I want to support that. Two questions: (1) I’m between waist sizes…finding Large often too big, and sometimes Medium too snug….unless there is significant give in the waist band. Is it a good, easy stretch that gives …or a ‘tightening’ stretch…particularly on the Tactical shorts? And (2), Regarding the short liners….are all of them the longer-inseam boxer-type liners? Reason I ask is that I prefer a ‘brief’ liner versus the long boxer type. Nice review….very comprehensive….and Bravo-Zulu on your communication skills! This is a great video!
@BrockCovington2 жыл бұрын
If you’re in between, I’d recommend going with a medium on any of the shorts. Only exception is if you have wider hips, bigger glutes. The liner is a short boxer brief style in every short EXCEPT the distance has a brief style and the interval 7” or 9” have a longer boxer brief. Hope that helps!

Great review. Thanks. I agree about the waist band of the Interval Short. Great fit and material, but it has the most annoying waist band of any shorts I own. It's flimsy and rolls unless you make the effort to move the string all the way to the top inside the waistband. There's simply too much room in the waist band, so the string can move, and then the waist band rolls. They should replace this waistband with the one they use on the Tactical Short. Just very surprising that a brand that markets itself as being functional and comfortable has a short with such an obvious flaw. I would never pay full price for the Interval Short.

Quick question on your comments for the interval for CrossFit because of the versatility vs. the foundation shorts which are very durable and great for lifting. Would the foundation short get in the way during certain CrossFit workouts? Is the interval short durable for this use?
@BrockCovington3 жыл бұрын
Both are great options for CrossFit. I would say the interval offer more free movement and the foundation offer more durability. So if you’re doing lots of barbell or free weight movements, foundation might be slightly better. But interval might do better in explosive or dynamic movements. Plus, interval weigh a little lighter

I'm also 6'1, and typically stay around 182 lbs. I have Lululemon Pace Breakers Lined, in Lg. They are just too baggy around the thighs and leg openings, for my liking. I recently ordered the Ten Thousand Interval Lined, in Medium. Hopefully these fit a little more to my liking.
@yeti_3692 ай бұрын
I like the fit around the thighs, more form fitting than the Lululemon, but the liner was a little bit off. Also, felt like my a$$ was gonna split the fabric, if I was doing deep squats. Currently processing an exchange, for Lg. Lululemon has the comfort, and Ten Thousand has the aesthetic.

Hiya, great review! I was wondering which shorts would be a perfect fit for my s/o. He’s running a half marathon and usually wears a medium or large (fluctuates between 185-195lbs). Prefers a short inseam, but not too short because of his quadriceps. Sidenote: he is 5’10.
