Training Shorts Test — Durability Check

Training Shorts Test — Durability Check
“Durable” means nothing unless you test it. So we did.
Here’s what happens when Centric training shorts are worn through 1,000+ high-intensity sessions.
The Test
HIIT (5x/week)
Squats + Olympic lifts
Outdoor runs (heat, humidity, and trails)
Cold wash + air dry only
Total use: 11 months. Same pair.
What Held Up
✅ No seam tears
✅ No waistband stretch-out
✅ Fabric stayed smooth — no pilling
✅ Ventilation still effective
✅ Pocket integrity 100%
Athlete Quote:
"I used to cycle through shorts every 3–4 months. I’m nearly a year in and my Centric pair still looks and feels new."
— Jay, gym + field athlete
Conclusion:
Real durability means you forget how long you’ve owned it — because it’s still performing like day one.
🛒 Train harder. Replace less.
