Tactical Lined 7-Inch Training Shorts

I ordered multiple replacements for my tactical shorts during the Christmas sale (had my others for 4 years with daily wear). Same shorts, same colors- totally different fit. Tenthousand shutdown returns after Christmas so I am stuck with 3 pair that do not fit. The colors were black and gray, so not seasonal colors that have final sales btw.

Having owned the Session, Interval, and Foundation shorts, I’ve come to expect nothing but excellence from this brand. The Tactical shorts continue that trend in terms of premium materials and aesthetic—the zippered pockets are a fantastic, functional touch. However, I’m giving these a lower rating due to a clear quality control issue. The waistband is significantly too tight for the garment, causing the fabric to pinch and create awkward creases. At this price point, I expect flawless execution, and unfortunately, these fell short.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I really want to like these shorts —have used them for workouts, light hikes, and yoga—unfortunately the stitching on the waistband is already coming out after just a few uses. For the price and appearance of quality I’d expect better. Overall look and design are great, I just hope TT takes another look at the waistband stitching.

I’ve had 2 pairs of the Tactical Shorts, and I love the design and fit but they feel cheaply made. I thought they might have figured that out after the first round, but nope. On my second pair, ordered 8/2025, the waistband seams started blowing out literally the second time I put them on. I can still wear them, but they’re falling apart. I guess QC is not a priority.
