$99 for a pair of shorts?! I went back and forth on these for about a week because, damn, that’s a lot for shorts.

Then they arrived.

As soon as I felt them, I got it. Man, these things are soft and comfortable. Now when I put on my old shorts from the big-name company, they feel like I’m wearing a plastic bottle.

Ryker’s are officially my new favorite shorts. I like them so much, I’m getting a pair for my nephew now too.

Yeah, they’re expensive—but I’d buy them again.

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.

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.

My husband was obsessed with his polyester shorts and this exact same style so I was thrilled when I found a complete natural fiber replacement. Yes, they are so expensive lol but my husband said they are so comfortable and he actually likes them even better than the polyester version 1 which I was scared he would really not. One of the zippers broke on the pocket after a month and Customer Service was super quick to send us a replacement which always speaks to a company. 10/10!

These are nice shorts! Nice fit and good length for gym and other athletic activities. Super comfortable. I need to buy some more Ryker gear
