Great quality materials, but runs small. The merino liner gets very loose, interfering with leg workouts.

Shorts review

Expected higher quality given the price, but overall they’re decent. The price for these is way too high. The built-in wool/cotton compression feels just like normal cotton briefs - if that. Expected more. Decent shorts, but I would not buy them again at ~$100 a pop considering I could buy Hanes shorts for $10-15 dollars and just wear briefs with those.

My new go to gym short, but took a few tries to get right size, thankfully, great customer service.

Definitely my only go to gym short now, gonna buy multiple. Lots of deals and sales they got going too. I hate shorts that have a lower rise in the back, and I had to experiment a bit with the sizing to find one of these that didn't bug me, but did get one that fits me best. The return policy and customer service is pretty good, so it wasn't too tricky to do that. They are also VERY comfortable and don't stink after one use for me. You can probably work out in them at least twice before washing them

Best shorts ever made!!

Got this for my husband and he loves them, and we’re about to buy 2 more; absolutely worth every penny.

I come from using Lulu and similar shorts for gym workouts. These are just as comfortable, don't smell, and I look forward to using them for years to come.

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.

Jason M., Los Angeles

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.
