Finally found a pair I like

I love my 5 pocket chino pants from Howler. They have been my go-to for so long, but they are on the baggy size. I have tried to find another pair of chinos that had a similar feel and finally found Barbell's slim athletic fit chinos. These are very comfortable pants, but the fit is what really makes these incredible. They are just lose enough to be comfortable, yet have a tailored enough appearance that allows you to wear these to work or out and about. These look good and feel good and the fit doesn't restrict movement. I ordered 32/34 and usually am around 32-34 in the waist depending on brand. The 32 slim athletic fit was spot on. If you are on the fence about ordering, these are defiantly worth a try.

You get what you pay for

I was impressed with the quality of the tshirts and hoodies I bought. High quality, good print, amazing shipping and customer service. I’m about to put in another order.

Perfect fit

These look and fit great! The exact right amount of stretch.

Great fit, look great

I’ve bought more shorts because I love them so much. So comfortable to wear when training, dry quickly and look great

Solid quality, fit and customer service

The build quality is superb and everything couldn’t be more comfortable. Another bonus is the return process for exchanging sizes is so easy and you can even initiate the order before you send back the original order. This saves a lot of time and is really convenient. Great stuff!

Covert Pant amazing!

Love these. Got one pair and picked up another pair after a few days of wearing them. Stretchy, lightweight, Non intrusive pockets for everything I need. I have been searching for a pant like this for years! Thank you Barbell. Will now try a few of your other products.

Shows off the gams

Big fan of these shorts. Resistance to the spill filled duties as a father of a kid who loves popsicles. Zipper pocket is perfect for a guy who’s keys have fallen out of his shorts at a kids baseball game and had to feel like an idiot as all the parents walked the field like a search party for an hour at 9 at night. Also great for working out too. Appreciate them

Great work pants

Not a tactical fella here but I do work construction. I wear a version of these pants every day at work and they are the best pants I’ve worn in the field in the 30 years I’ve been swinging the ol’ hammer. Tool pocket works perfectly with a tape measure when I don’t have my tool pouch on. Maybe when I slap those suckers on come Monday I’ll tittilate everyone with a picture showing the tape measure functionality of said pocket. A magnetic pocket and a zipper pocket choice on either side is also a great feature. Appreciate the work everyone

Very comfy

Fit is very good and it feels very premium and soft

Awesome pants, weird sizing.

The jeans are awesome. They look like normal jeans, but are so flexible and way more comfortable than any others I have.

Getting the sizing right was a bit of a pain. Their return process is easy, but the first pair I got must have had the wrong size printed on them. They were way too big. I returned them and went down to size, but they were too small. I re-ordered the original size and they ended up fitting great at that time.

fits like a glove

Shirt fits well and is high quality

Great quality

Plenty of space for arm movement. I would recommend sizing up if you are taller, they run short

Great style and fit

My 18 year old grandson loved the hoodie and athletic fit jeans.

Ultra short!

The ultra short is comfortable and light weight!

Love wearing them for my runs or hanging around the house. I would highly recommend them for anyone who runs, great for cross training too! Plenty of storage for gels or other racing fuel. Will probably end up with a few more pairs of them.

Great job barbell!

Frontier Flannel

Perfect flannel

I’m 5-9 180lbs and I lift…..hard. This flannel in Medium fits great. Stretches, and is just right on the warm scale for Oregon fall and spring. A light jacket over for winter is recommended. I got the red and picked up the green for my son after seeing the quality and fit.

Great chino

I am 6’5” and weigh 312 pounds and have a muscular build. Finding pants that fit are difficult. These chinos were a perfect match for me.

Arid Hoodie
Cooper Spurgin
Super lightweight

This is the most lightweight hoodie I’ve ever gotten, it’s something that you can wear for your entire run/workout and not something that you have to take off when you’re warmed up. Super soft and comfortable. Had to get one for my wife as well.

Recon Jogger
Cooper Spurgin
Solid all around

First off, they’re super comfortable. They fit great, especially if you have an athletic build with at least slightly larger legs. And they’re not too tight on the calves. They somehow found a way to make them warm in the cold but also cool enough to wear in slightly warmer weather. Definitely my favorite pair of sweats.

Slim Athletic Fit Jeans
Cooper Spurgin
Solid

Excellent quality. Out of all the athletic/stretchy type jeans out there these feel the most durable. They actually still feel like jeans and not jeggings. It’s also very hard to find jeans that fit me due to my leg and butt size so that is a plus as well. At least for me, they aren’t painted on like skinny jeans, but are still form fitting. I do wish they had more sizes (I.e. a perfect fit for me would be a 33X32 or 33). Definitely worth it when they are on sale.

Frontier Flannel

Perfect blend of comfort, style, and performance!

The Barbell Apparel Frontier Flannel in black and grey has quickly become one of my favorite shirts. The fit is athletic without being tight, it gives just the right amount of stretch and moves easily whether I’m in the gym, outdoors, or just out for the day. The material feels premium, warm but breathable, and it keeps its shape after multiple washes.

The black and grey colorway is sharp, versatile and looks great with jeans or joggers, and it can easily be dressed up or down. You can tell this flannel was made with active people in mind. Durable, functional, and stylish all at once.

Highly recommend it for anyone who wants a flannel that performs as good as it looks!

Best pair of pants I’ve ever owned

This is my second pair of the straight fit chinos from Barbell. Nice enough to wear someone where you want to look more presentable (like a professional appointment, church) and comfortable enough to then lounge around in the house in afterwards. Finding good fitting pants at 6’5” and thick long legs has always been a chore, but now I won’t buy any other pants except from Barbell going forward.

This shirt feels incredibly soft on the skin and is a perfectly light shirt for the gym. The fit is perfect for a hard workout and feels great when catching a pump. Love it.

Love this hoodie

I have 2 of these now and going into cooler weather they have become my go-to hoodies. Quality is amazing. Fit and feel are great. Definitely get questions about where I got it and comments abut how it looks/feels. Will get more colors.

I love this hoodie for both gym and around the town us. It's comfortable, fits well, and looks great. I am so happy with this purchase!

Best ultralight I’ve found

These fit perfectly and work great in the gym, around the house, or out running errands. Comfortable and light.
