Training apparel
A durable, highly mobile do-it-all training short that reviewers rate well — let down for German buyers by US-only direct shipping and mixed post-sale support.

Pros

- Abrasion-resistant; holds up over years of use
- Choice of liner and three inseams (5", 7", 9")
Cons
- US-only direct shipping — no direct delivery to Germany/EU
- Premium price for a polyester short; unlined feels thin for the cost
- Inconsistent customer service / guarantee enforcement (BBB 'F')
Who it's for
Buy it if…
You want one durable, high-mobility do-everything short and don't mind ~$68 (or a reseller route into the EU).
Skip it if…
You want max breathability, a budget option, or cheap, hassle-free delivery inside Germany.
The Interval Short is Ten Thousand’s do-everything staple, and the reputation is earned: four-way stretch poplin with genuinely excellent mobility, a no-pinch lay-flat waistband, and abrasion resistance that holds up over years. Independent testers rate it 4.6/5, and it beats Lululemon head-to-head for strength work — with your choice of liner and three inseam lengths, it’s a one-short-does-all pick.
For a German audience, the friction is availability, not quality. Ten Thousand ships direct only to the US and Canada, routing everyone else to Mr Porter or EU resellers (WODgear.nl carries it from ~€68), so there’s no clean local delivery or returns path — and post-sale support draws complaints (a BBB “F”). Note too that the glowing 4.9★ count is brand-hosted, not independent. Great short; awkward to buy from Berlin.
