Threshold 2.0 Short - 5" with Compression
Description
The evolution of the original.
The Threshold Short 2.0 is the rebuilt, refocused version of the short that launched Oryx. Updated sizing for a true-to-fit feel, a lighter and more breathable outer fabric, and a smoother overall hand-feel make this the most versatile hybrid training short we’ve created. The 5" short is designed with a supportive 7” liner, dual phone pockets, and a 4-way stretch shell, it delivers the comfort, mobility, and rugged utility serious hunters and hybrid athletes demand.
Whether you’re lifting heavy, running intervals, rucking hills, or grinding through conditioning, the Threshold 2.0 balances structure and stretch without ever feeling restrictive. This is your daily workhorse short — built for gym training, outdoor sessions, and everything in between.

I just ran a half marathon in these shorts and the fit, the comfort and the quality of the shorts is top notch. I would definitely buy more and I definitely recommend these
The perfect pair of shorts for what I need. I was hesitant on getting the 5” but after wearing them now for every workout I do I am glad I went shorter. Very comfortable and flexible. No binding or that uncomfortable tightness you can get in the groin with compression shorts. I will be getting more in the future and I highly recommend these to all my family and friends.
I tried the 5” training short essentially on an impulse. The camo pattern looked cool and I liked that the liner went below the short cut. After a few days in the gym with them, I ended up buying two more colors. The fit and quality is the best on the market and I’ve hyped these shorts up to literally everyone. 5/5+++!
Third pair , love them , perfect workout shorts
Perfect for tuning
I would say this company is top level. My first order had a malfucntion in the first two days of wearing the shorts. The zipper broke and I reached out and instantly got a response with a new pair of shorts in the mail. The shorts fit extremely well and are by far my favorite all around shorts now. I will from now on be a forever customer of the brand. As a avid outdoorsman I mean this for everyone, you need at least one pair of these shorts. I am going to poke a little fun at them for the hand written note aplogozing to “koby” but thanks oryx you are truly a great company and look forward to supporting you.
Very good
Really love these shorts! Super comfortable and My favorite part is the thicker tighter bottom cuff on the liner that helps it stay in place. Wish the liner was just a tad bit shorter but no biggie. New favorite gym shorts!!
These shorts are best shorts ever.and I tried alot of them.
Great shorts. The material is super comfortable for strength training. The 5” is the perfect length.
Material is great very nice pair of shorts unfortunately I believe I bought a size 2 large upon my first workout. I realized that the lining was too baggy. It would start to slide down and it seemed too loose. I am 6 foot two 220 pounds and fairly lean.
The phone pocket is definitely not water resistant like advertised ! The shorts retain so much sweat that they start to sag out of position
Excellent quality and fit. It seems a bit longer than 5” but no complaints.
Great fit, great feel and very functional.
Feel great and look great. Really enjoy the style and extra storage space.
Perfect 💪🏽🇺🇸
Great quality shorts that have been awesome for my workouts. Would definitely purchase again!
Awesome product and fits true to size. Will be getting a couple more pair of these!
Great fitting
Shorts feel great. Just went on my first run with them
Sizing one size too small. Unfortunately I cannot return due to the item being on close out.
Over all I like the short but if I had one complaint it would be the waistband folds over while working out because it’s spandex instead of elastic with just a draw string
Worth the money
Great shorts. Keep buying them
Great shorts. Very well made and true to size
awesome
As if the original thresholds weren't already amazing the 2.0 feel and fit are even better! These are my favorite shorts I own and can't wait to get my hands on them in every color!!
Unfortunately, the size chart is not reflective of actual sizes.
