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!
