Never going back

These were my first purchase to trying and rid myself of plastic workout wear and can say that not only are they very comfortable, but I have run 3 15ks on them and are the most comfortable running short I own. I wish this company also make shirts and socks and I would not have to show anywhere else.

terrible quality

Paid an outrageous amount of money for two pairs of these shorts that started to come apart after just two washes. I am very disappointed in this brand and its misleading marketing... You can find the same thing on Amazon for 1/4 of the cost.

Very Nice

Of course was i hesitant to purchase at the price, but the quality of material is superb and worth the premium cost. The fit is excellent and has that great balance between ease of movement without being baggy- a problem with many an athletic short. I also really like the lining as it skews towards the more comfortable and less compressive side of things. Although im a bit thin. Either way this is the way a liner should feel and the merino is high quality and not irritating in anyway. Close to or equal to the benchmark liner of the legends Luka short, but without the synthetics.
Washed and worked out only once but all is well even with heavy perspiration and you can definitely get one or two sessions in without washing. The shorts do seem slightly to skew towards the delicate side given the lux materials so i plan to hand wash or machine gentle with no dryer. I would be curious to see what they would look like after a regular was and machine dry but not willing to take that risk yet. Also curious to see how they hold up over time. Anyway, subtle branding, great fit, no plastics and very good looking what more could you want- except a slightly lower price? Four stars only pending longer term wear and tear, if they still work and function after one wash as after 50 they are a five star product. We need some more colors and confirmation that the dyes used are equally non toxic. Now please make a natural fiber athletic top with raglan sleeves for movement....many of us cant stand the artificial poly based performance shirt which feel like a plastic bag and look even worse

Love these for me; want more Transparency

These shorts are awesome. Ive only been wearing them for a couple of weeks, but between the liner and shorts themselves, Im super satisfied with the purchase. Its a great mental load off to finally have shorts I can train hard in, through full ROM, they breath comfortably, the liner feature makes putting them on that much more effortless, and they feel great. I sized up, but the difference is negligible, and the drawstring (another underrated feature of athletic gear!) makes up for any slack. I air dry my shorts, which they're a little cumbersome compared to conventional, non-hybrid garments, but still very manageable. I hope to be back for more.

Only major thing I want more of right now is supply chain transparency. Its great knowing that the materials are organic cotton and merino wool, but without more transparency (where are they made, who makes them, what are the standards and battery of certifications for workers and textiles, what dyes are being used, where is Ryker trying to do better as a company with all of these, etc), the product feels almost too good to be true, which gives me pause.

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?

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.
