Great fit and wearable as expected from BP! Plus I like to support our heroes and charities as does BP! Love to wear at the gym or just out and about. Can't beat the Born Primitive experience!!!
Had been thinking about testing out Born Primitive shorts when I got the 1,000 Heroes promo email -- I've got a family full of nurses, so I pre-ordered a couple pairs.
They have held up against barbell knurling damage so far, are plenty flexible for running, stretch and slide well in squats, and the side pockets are deep for temporarily holding my keys, phone, etc. I haven't used the back zipper pocket much but I can confirm that it holds my iphone 7 with room to spare -- don't judge my ancient phone please :)
I am 5'11", 200 lb (waddup bulking season), but all torso with very short legs (30" length on Levi's), and these still end a couple inches above the tops of my knees -- nice.
Would definitely recommend!
Hi Daniel,
Thank you so much for giving Born Primitive a try! We are so happy to hear the training shorts fit to your liking and you found them comfortable for lifting and running. A huge thank you to your family for their service as nurses. :) We appreciate you being a customer with Born Primitive and hope you will check out more colors and styles soon.
Awesome shorts, super comfortable and the dedicated it to the healthcare providers like me out there on the front lines fighting the very real pandemic
Daniel,
We created these shorts to show our gratitude to the front line workers through this COVID-19 pandemic! We appreciate everything you do and thank you for your service.
Thank you for your support and taking time to post this review!
Best training shorts I’ve worn. Comfortable. Don’t ride up on the assault bike. Perfect above knee length.
Randy,
I am glad the 1000 Hero Training shorts have become your favorite shorts!!
We designed these to be an all-purpose training short with performance in mind. They feature a lightweight, quick-dry fabric with moderate elasticity to ensure mobility. They feature two pockets in the front and a discrete, low-profile zipper pocket on the back to secure your belongings. The elastic waistband is paired with a drawstring to help keep your shorts secure in any environment. These shorts feature the Born Primitive logo on the lower left leg and the UIM logo on the back left leg. Whether you are hitting the gym, the trail, the water, or the ring, these shorts will perform.
Thank you for your support and taking time to post this review!
Love the shorts and the purpose that they serve. Extremely comfortable and versatile. New favorite pair to workout in lately.

Measure around your rib cage just under your bust. Round down to the closest inch. This is your rib cage measurement, which you’ll need to figure out your band and cup size.
Take your rib cage measurement from step 1 and read across the chart below to find your band size
| Rib Cage Measurement | Band Size |
|---|---|
| 25" - 27" | 30 |
| 27" - 29" | 32 |
| 29" - 31" | 34 |
| 31" - 33" | 36 |
| 33" - 35" | 38 |
| 35" - 37" | 40 |
| 37" - 39" | 42 |
First, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape straight across your back. Round up to the nearest whole number. This is your bust measurement.
Now, subtract your rib cage measurement (step 1) from your bust measurement (step 3). The difference in inches is your suggested cup size. If you’re between sizes, round up.
| Bust Size Minus Rib Cage Size |
Your Cup Size |
|---|---|
| 3" | AA |
| 4" | A |

| 6" | C |
| 7" | D |
| 8" | DD |

2.5 CM= A | 5 CM= B | 7.5 CM= C | 10 CM= D | 12.5 CM= DD | 15 CM= E
Every bra serves a different purpose for different activities and we recommend referencing each specific bra product description to determine the best bra for your body and sport. Our bras should generally fit snug. Wearing the bras too loose will not likely provide adequate support.
***Please note, a majority of our sports bras are medium support and medium coverage. If you are looking for the highest impact support that we offer; check out the X-Factor, Intensity or Moxie Sports Bra!

On our Large and X-Large Training Shorts, the length measures the same. From the waist band to the crotch its 8” in length and the inseam (from the crotch to the end of the shorts) is 5”. These shorts run shorter in length as you go up in size to more closely mimic our men’s training shorts which are a 7” inseam.
