The challenge
The Foundation Short is built to stand up to the wear-and-tear of the hardest workouts. Every element of the short – from its abrasion-resistant fabric to its boardshort drawcord – ensures bombproof durability over the long haul, no matter how you wear it. For guys like Jared that are constantly on the move and pushing their gear to its limits – whether it’s in a brutal lifting session or bouncing between his boxes – shorts that can withstand abuse while being comfortable enough to wear all day are key. Our Foundation Short does just that, and with ease. To test that promise, we built a brutal workout for Jared to complete in them.

The Verdict
READY FOR EVERYTHING
“I push every article of clothing I have to the extreme. As a result of the workouts I do, the work I do for a living, and the amount of running around I do, I need a short that’s going to withstand my physical demands and my comfort demands. The Foundation Short gives me everything I need and allows me to operate without having to think about what I'm wearing.”
