Pros
- Excellent four-way stretch and mobility — versatile across training styles
- No-pinch, lay-flat waistband that stays put
- Abrasion-resistant; holds up over years of use
- Choice of liner and three inseams (5", 7", 9")
Cons
- Price rose to about €80 (unlined 7"); EU duty and return terms are not spelled out
- 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 paying about €80.
Skip it if…
You want max breathability, a budget option, or a German retailer with local returns.
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 German buyers this got easier in 2026: tenthousand.cc now ships to Germany and shows euro prices (€79.95 for the unlined 7”). The price is up on the old $68, and the store does not spell out duty or return terms for EU orders, so check them at checkout. Post-sale support still draws complaints (a BBB “F”), and the glowing 4.9★ count is brand-hosted, not independent. Great short; now simple to order, but not cheap.
