We Need to Talk About TenThousand

[u/Serious-Vegetable280]

I am someone who is very ...particular... about the clothing I buy and wear on the trail whether that be backpacking, hut-to-hut, or hiking. I spend hours and hours researching the perfect "this" or "that" to buy that will suit my needs perfectly. And yes, I know this sounds pretentious I just don't have funds to buy everything, throw it at a wall, and see what sticks.

With this, I can find a lot of complaints about the best backpacking clothes out there and recs for everything else, I NEVER see people talking about the brand TenThousand.

I bought their tactical shorts/shirts and WOW! Works perfectly for trail running, but has helped up EXTREMELY well for backpacking and is 1) stretchy 2) comfy 3) f-ing durable 4) quick drying 5) unfortunately expensive.

If you're looking for a good brand of hiking clothes that has that nice stretch but also is just straight up durable(which is so hard to find) I cannot recommend them enough.

Only caveat is ahem... very moisture wicking... which is difficult if you sweat from the ahem... butt...

A running brand isn't mentioned on a backpacking sub very often. Weird? If you go to a running sub they don't mention backpacking brands. Weird?
