Note: I am a GORUCK affiliate, so I get a small percentage commission with each sale if you purchase GORUCK products from my links. This does not cost you any additional money–the prices are the same for buyers. I do this b/c I have a weird obsession with good gear and clothing. I have used GORUCK products since 2015 and have been impressed with their quality and versatility. I don’t do this to make a living, only to help support my habit of buying high-quality items from GORUCK and other American companies.

GORUCK Indestructible Training Shorts (aka ToughStretch) Review – after 3 years

After three years of use, it’s time I do a review on these GORUCK Indestructible Training Shorts (formerly called American Training Shorts).

I have 3 pair and all are XL. My waist is 36″.

They wick sweat very well, don’t stick to my legs when I am sweating or wet during my workout, and dry very quickly. They have the typical GORUCK ToughStretch, which basically means they are 4-way stretch material.

I cover a couple cons, but overall, I like them enough to have several and have been using multiple times/week during warm weather for training (parking lots, sidewalks, roads, tennis courts, grass and garage workouts – down on and off the ground often). I wear them to play tennis too. Each pocket holds 2 tennis balls well.

These are $75, with the Tiger Stripe pattern being $85. Obviously not cheap. Worth it? Depends what’s important to you. In the long run, these have the GORUCK Scars Lifetime Guarantee. That’s def something to consider.

What are the brands that you like or are trying to decide between them and GORUCK?

You got questions? Ask me.
