Tiros aren’t the only option anymore. There’s a nice variety of athletic pants the boys, teens, and men will enjoy wearing this summer.
In previous years, we devoted this post to explaining the differences between different versions of Tiro Training Pants, rounding up the best places to get both current styles, along with previous seasons styles at a discount.
And while all the key Tiro information you need will still be here, it’s not the primary option anymore. Now there’s a variety of basic athletic pants that boys are wearing and enjoying at a range of price points.
But no worries–his extensive Tiro stash that are still good from previous years (and those hand-me-downs) will still be put to good use! There’s no need to do an overhaul. But if you’re buying some fresh pairs, you can try a few of a different brand, and our favorites are rounded up below.
About the Tiros Fit
Adidas pants are known to run large. The sizing chart is not particularly accurate. A boy who is a size 8-10 will start to wear a size small (until he reaches size 12 likely). A medium will fit a boy who is wearing sizes 12-16. We found that the larger boys’ sizes are larger than the smaller men’s sizes. So, if your son needs something bigger than a medium, but the large is too large, try the mens’ XS. That will be smaller than a kid’s large. The kid’s large and the men’s small will be similar in sizing, except the kid’s one will have a shorter length.
There are also toddler/little kids sizes and they likely overlap with the xx-small and x-small in the kids sizes. You might need to buy a couple sizes and return the first time.
