Ten Thousand Interval Shirt
Pros
- Lightweight and breathable
- Four-way-stretch fabric allows unrestricted movement
- Permanent odor-control treatment
Cons
- More expensive than a basic running shirt
- No sun protection
You don’t want to spend mile after mile tugging at your shirt or thinking about how it feels against your body. That’s exactly what we like about the Ten Thousand Interval Shirt. When the brand designed its flagship tee, it minimized distractions without stripping away the substance that makes it useful for more than running.
Its odor-control treatment helps keep smells in check, while flatlock seams reduce the risk of chafing around sensitive areas such as the armpits. The lightweight, stretchy fabric sits close to the body without clinging excessively as sweat builds during a run.
The Interval is a favorite among our editors and has also earned a top spot on our list of the best workout shirts. Ten Thousand does offer a more running- and conditioning-specific option, called the Session Shirt, but we’ve simply logged more workouts and miles in the Interval. There is also a fine line between breathable and flimsy. The Interval has enough weight and structure to work for lifting and other workouts, and it never feels as though it might dissolve against your body by the end of a hard session.
