Ten Thousand Foundation Shorts Review - Worth the $$$?

So who else have seen a PILE of advertisements for Ten Thousand shorts? I bought a couple of pairs and between the online ads and the constant bombardment of emails, I thought it would be just to review them first. For the last few months, I’ve been using a pair of lined, 7” foundation shorts in my workouts and what’s my final verdict?
I shouldn’t have spent $85 dollars on these shorts.
Why? Because the ride up. Every workout I’ve done with these shorts, I’ve had to pause and pull the shorts out of my groin. It’s annoying. Now I’m not a large individual and fall easily within Ten Thousands sizing schedule. In fact, my shorts might be a bit too loose and YET they still ride up.

The outer shell is supposedly made from 168 gsm material but the print on the inside of my shorts indicate that it’s 148 gsm material so who knows? At the time of purchase, Ten Thousand said there were five pockets on the shorts. My shorts only had three.
Between the liner and the shell, these shorts were close to 280 grams, making them one of the heaviest pairs of shorts. That weight, coupled with the brutal board short draw string, meant that the shorts felt like they were going to fall off. Good thing they ride up as that’s the only time the shorts felt secure when they were riding up in my crotch.
Honestly, most gym shorts are overpriced. In general, you’d expect them to be better than a $30 dollar Amazon basics pair BUT the Foundation shorts by Ten Thousand do not. What a waste of money!

I'm a big TT fan. Got 2 of the Interval (unlined), 2 of the Foundation (unlined), and 1 of Tactical (lined). I noticed that the consistency is not always there. I have 1 of the foundations ride up more than the other. I agree with the front area being all bunched up, but that's the design. They could get rid of the velcro to make it more elastic with guys that have a bit more gut. That being said, I'm not a general fan of having a liner. The Tactical's only come in a liner but I find them super comfortable. The Interval's and Foundation's run smaller (I'm a typical Medium but got a small), but the Tactical is true to size. Overall, the product themselves I find are exceptionally well build for the intended purposes. Foundations are bomb-proof and they look brand new with no pilling every time I wash them. They make an awesome hiking short. They are more durable than the Intervals. Intervals are great for running, mobile purposes, and they just look cool. Easy to lounge and move in on hot days. But my favorites are the Tactical. Hands down the best designed shorts, liner is super comfortable and breathable, and I can lounge them in them all day. Could the liner be what's causing the ride-up. Maybe go with a unlined option.

Solid review. Interested to see your favorite shorts. And maybe in the future give the rvca yogger shorts a try as they have been my favorite for any working out/sports.

[@gregpierson7943]

just stumbled across your videos while searching for shoes and im hooked! excited to see what comes next! #supportlocalyyc

[@buitrongkhoa]

Awesome video. Thank you

[@georgea6438]

You don’t get enough credit for what you do. Just wanted to let you know it doesn’t go unnoticed!

[@flickerNYC]

Could you guys do a mini timer review like you have in your home gym ? Since the lockdown it’s been a huge thing people have been buying . Like timebirds sonic Vs Tiny Timer ?

[@nolainnogain]

What are your favorite shorts? Do you recommend the interval shorts from TT?

[@audaciouscitizen.9313]

Good review.

[@Nelly3141]

Favorite shorts!!

[@Kjyoung9422]

I think you need a bigger size the foundation shorts the best short I’ve ever owned, and look brand new after four years of CrossFit work outs. Also just thinking the shorts get marks on them from the bar that disappear after washing, so maybe wash them haha.

[@adrosjp]

Show us the review of those orange/rust coloured shorts

[@TroyKasper]

I love Ten Thousand products, great quality but they are expensive, so look for their sales which they have frequently. BUT I prefer the Interval shorts. The Foundation shorts are too figidity with the velcro and lacing and do seem a bit smaller for the same size.

[@chrisk5651]

Hey!! Where are your other shorts videos???

[@Well_Earned_Siesta]

You should review some shorts from Hylete. I’ve always found them to be great all around

[@gsuandre5579]

more short review please, the #im reviewer not an influencer is spot on jajaj

[@nick-vq1ef]

Can you review all of the other shorts they make

[@waldocam10]

Review the Interval plz! Or go with telling us your favorite

[@christophervasquez6878]

A review of the interval shorts would be great!

[@polterghosty]

The bunching! Oh god the bunching!

[@CompletelyInadequate]

we need to know your favorite gym shorts - are fabletics or ten thousands better for the price?

[@cisko213]

Dude no more videos?

[@NaatediggidyDawg]

Fabletics shorts are the shit in my opinion!! Most comfortable shorts ive gotten in a while

[@guraygu]

Kind of looks like you need to size up. Also agree the intervals are way better. Unless you are doing a lot of barbell work, you don't need the foundation shorts. Agree with others saying the liner is not good, buy TT linerless.

[@hrrrrrrr2084]

Then how do you wear your linerless shorts?

[@andresman5963]

Where’s Val?

[@wiseguysshow1871]

Smart scale, please

[@dajuice7030]

What happen to the rest of short reviews? Can we get the channel back or at least your top 3 picks.

[@mathiaskonig4271]

A nice video, but unfortunately a bit older. I hope there will be more videos

[@hrrrrrrr2084]

Disappointing quality. You should either get the unlined version, or cut the liner out of these ones, and wear them as true boardshorts that is with nothing underneath. It should avoid any uncomfy ride up

[@briangilley5960]

Where’s Val and the dog?

[@jordanescobar4627]

The liner is just so uncomfortable man. I bought the FAR collab shorts and while they look good, it’s just not fucking comfortable. The liner leaves you itching

[@hrrrrrrr2084]

shame then what did you do? cut the liner out?

[@2muchdisco]

These shorts doesn't last over 2 years as it's glue and not stich. They said lifetime warranty but only for 2 years if you read their warranty page. For the same price the Lululemon or Vuori warranty is so much better! Not worth the price.

[@Make_Me_A_Sandwhich]

Almost $70 for 1 pair of shorts…. Naw that’s waaaaay tooo expensive

[@VINO9411]

Nice looking BUT Made In China WTF???

[@walkerosullivan4610]
