Do you REALLY want to wear plastic in the sauna?

1. Made of 100% natural fibers - not plastic synthetics

A man sits on a wooden bench with his shorts and upper legs wrapped in plastic film.

Most “performance” shorts are made from plastic. Ryker shorts are made from organic cotton and Merino wool, no plastic-based fabrics. Because do you really want to sweat in plastic?

2. Third Party Tested - No Hormone Disrupting Chemicals

Big Brand plastic fabrics often contain toxic chemicals like BPA and PFAs - toxic chemicals shown to tank T levels.

Not Ryker. We're third party tested - absolutely ZERO BPA, PFAS or Phthalates - because who wants to sweat in that!?

3. Naturally Breathable & Sweat Wicking - With No Harmful Chemical Leaching

With traditional shorts, harmful chemicals may leach when exposed to heat - and can be absorbed into your skin.

Not with Ryker. Naturally breathable & sweat wicking fibers + ZERO hormone disrupting chemicals - so you have nothing to worry about.

4. Safe Dyes - OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified

Clothing dyes are a dirty secret of the industry - because toxic chemicals like formaldehyde and antimony often lurk in them.


Not Ryker. Our dyes are certified safe by OEKO-TEX Standard 100 - the leading governing body for safe textiles.

5. Protects from microplastics

Microscope, scale with beaker, shorts, certificate on a table with testing badge.

Your polyester shorts? A microplastic nightmare (ESPECIALLY when heated!)

Our organic, natural fibers don't shed plastic microfibers - reducing your exposure when your pores are sweat, open and most vulnerable.

Worth every penny

I’ll be honest, I hesitated before pulling the trigger on these because of the price — Ryker shorts aren’t cheap, and I’ve been burned before by “premium” athletic wear that doesn’t actually perform any better than the $25 stuff. These are different.
I wear them for lifting (3-on-2-off split), longer bike rides, and just knocking around the house, and the difference in comfort is immediately noticeable — no chafing, no weird bunching, and the fabric breathes way better than I expected for something this substantial. The fit holds up whether I’m under a bar or on the bike for 15+ miles, which is more than I can say for other brands I’ve tried.
Are they expensive? Yes. Do I regret buying them? Not even a little. This is one of those cases where you actually get what you pay for — the quality is obvious the second you put them on, and they’ve held their shape wash after wash so far.
I’m planning to put these through real long-term use — daily training, higher mileage rides, the works — so I’ll come back and update this review after 3 months of consistent wear to report on durability. So far, though, I’m sold. Ryker please contact me when able.

Awesome, but sized down

Great shorts that hold up even after many washes! I would suggest getting the smaller size if you're between sizes like I am. I'm 6 foot 2, 200 lbs and the medium is much better than the large.

Great materials and comfortable.

Great materials, great comfort! Can't comment on durability just yet, but I plan on getting more. I hope they come out with more color options!

Ryker is Legit!!!

I started Hotworkz & needed a chemical free/organic cotton sauna short. Ryker meets all of my specifications, plus it is very comfortable. Bought 2 pairs and then immediately bought 2 more. Great customer support.
