They're alright

The liner fits well for about 10 minutes and is then blown out and it's basically wearing 2 shorts. I've got low hanging balls so it's nice to have a more "whitey tighty" kind of underwear. These start off as regular boxer briefs and quickly turn to boxers.

If I sized down the shorts would basically be spandex and I'd have no point in a liner.

They are comfortable for lounging around and I do love that they don't have any plastic.

I'd only buy more if they offered an updated liner, maybe something like soffees(ranger panties), but still wool.

Soft yet Sturdy

These are the softest workout shorts I've ever worn, even after a couple washes. They have a nice stretch but remain sturdy. Definitely recommend.

Love the Apex Shorts!

I recently purchased two pair of the Ryker Apex shorts and after wearing them a few days threw out all of my old latex gym shorts. These fit great, super comfortable and just feels better to be wearing materials that I know are better for me. I will be ordering more in the future!

Great Fit, Quality build NO plastic

I was a ruck short guy, but these qre now my favorite. The only issue is they are not quick drying like technical fabrics but a small tradeoff for the larger picture.

Super comfortable and functional. Great quality.

What’s wrong with polyester?

Literaly Made of Plasitc

Polyester is PLASTIC. You likely try to avoid plastic - so do you really want to wear clothes made of 100% plastic?

Toxic chemicals

Polyester may contain toxic chemicals - which are often used in the manufacturing process & finishing process.

Sheds Tons of Microplastics

When you wear polyester, microplastics can shed from the clothes into the air around you.

I looked everywhere for organic cotton gym shorts - pumped I finally found them

Been on the hunt for organic cotton gym shorts for some time after I learned my polyester ones were just plastic. Couldn't find any big brand with them & then found Ryker - love them.

Throwing out my Lulus now

I was skeptical but these shorts literally fit exactly like my Lulu shorts but they're made of 100% organic cotton. Exactly what I'm looking for - great fit & material. Tossing my Lulus and buying more.

Connor B., New York City

Shockingly lightweight & comfortable

Thought they'd fit like thick cotton sweatpants - I was very wrong. Very lightweight and thin - giving some good stretch. Different than many other natural brands.
