The Verdict

SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT

“As soon as I got into the shorts, there was a symbiotic relationship that was formed. The short became one with me as I moved, no longer restricted by any movement, and they were extremely breathable. The Interval shorts are hands down the absolute best shorts I have ever tried.”
