Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I do an in-depth comparison between the T.H.E shorts, also known as the Train Hard Everyday shorts, and the Pace Breaker shorts. Both shorts are by Lululemon, and retail for $68.

86% recycled polyester and 14% elastane
0:53 What is the liner in the Lululemon Shorts?
Liner: 82% polyester, 18% elastane
1:10 Texture and Feel
1:23 Compare/Contrast Main Features
Waistbands
Drawstrings
Lateral Hems (T.H.E. shorts a split hem, Pace Breakers do NOT)
Adductor / Groin Region
2:19 Posterior / Back of Shorts
T.H.E. shorts have a horizontal oriented rear pocket
Pace Breaker shorts have a vertical oriented pocket
Pace Breaker shorts also have a mesh outline
2:53 Comfort and Performance
4:21 The Liner Dictates Comfort
4:33 Biggest Con of Liner IMO
4:51 Sizing and Fit
I am 5' 8", 155 lbs, 31 waist.
I am wearing a Medium, with a 7'' inseam. It worked out perfect for me.
T.H.E shorts have a "classic tapered fit", whereas the Pace Breaker shorts have a "classic straight fit"
Analyzing the hems of both shorts, the tapered T.H.E is only very slightly less open by barely a 1/2 inch compared to the classic straight Pace Breaker hem.
6:05 Worth $68??

I was just looking for a video like this. Thank you man. Very informative and you earned a sub. Gonna grab myself some pace breakers now. Also the Train Hard drawstrings can be inserted inside or outside, and the cord in the back pocket is a key loop.

You mentioned you were looking for a video like this, yet it sounds like you’re more an expert than I am haha, If you or someone you know works in the medical field, I believe Lululemon still offers a 25% off your purchase in-store as long as you show your work badge! I forgot to mention this in the video lol. Appreciate your comment and thanks for watching ! 🙏
Thanks for this vid! Exactly what I was looking for, for a comparison between the two.

I really like the split hem look! I think the loop is for hooking your key on. It’s interesting that they have liner or liner less, I think they do that for women’s too. I hate to admit, but more often than not Lululemon is worth it. The attention to detail is usually spot on!
Thanks for this!! Need one on the ABC Pant vs Commissioner one too

I got the ivory color and the olive green color. 2 things: I find the lighter colors ones to be a little transparent, like you can see the shape of the pockets, so I do prefer the darker one as it looks less "casual". Also I think I am in between sizes of S and M, I am 5' 9, 172 ibs, and find the small size a little better in terms of stability when I have the phone in my side pocket.

The linerless T.H.E shorts will always have a special place in my heart because those were my first ever shorts for Lulu lol but this review really nailed all of the differences between the two. I personally like the horizontal pocket of the T.H.E shorts because they hold more stuff but agree that the Pacebreaker ones are more streamlined -- the zip pocket is handy either way though 🔥 another comment asked to review Vuori shorts and I agree with them too! A review on Vuori or Outdoor Voices would be dope too but always love a good Lulu haul 😂😂

Great review! On T.H.E shorts you can move the drawstring from the front of the short to the inside using the holes that go to the inside of the short. I bought these for my husband and he loves them! Hopefully that helps 🙂.

Wow those are some pricey shorts! Good comparison bro! The boxer classy fit does look better on the pace breaker one
Can you compare the pace breaker and license to train shorts?
I've been looking for a good pair of shorts. I feel like the cord on the inside of the pocket is for keys to keep em secure while you workout. I do like the vertical pocket. That seems super convenient, you know, for snacks. 😏

Never liked the lined shorts. But in the end THE shorts are more comfortable and versatile. If I’m going to just work out only I’ll chose the pacebreaker.

I have the 9" pacebreakers. Absolutely love them. Always wear them with underwear underneath despite the liner so I get a few wears out of them before washing.

Just know that after 2-3 years of regular usage the THE shorts crotch will fray and holes will develop. This has been consistent across all 5 shorts I've owned over the last 6 years. I still stick with these shorts over every other training shorts available on the market though. The pockets are perfect. They can also be worn casually.

@@kickitwithdang I forgot to add the key point-- take it to a store and they'll repair or replace at no cost. Just be friendly and not pushy, 2 or 3 times they've let me swap out. Once, they repaired. Either way, you get best-in-class shorts for many years of use.
