"Ryker's shorts are an absolutely elite alternative to polyester plastic shorts. They are super lightweight and silky smooth. Would highly recommend for anybody who is looking to ditch their polyester shorts but still wants that stretchy feel that you need in the gym."

"Ryker's shorts are extremely comfortable and I actually wear them more outside of the gym. I find them so comfortable and usually wear them around the house or when talking a walk. Such a great alternative to polyester shorts."

"I was honestly shocked when I first tried on the gym shorts. Most natural shorts I've tried are just ok, but these actually feel like regular gym shorts but somehow are 100% Merino wool. Highly recommend for exercise or even just lounging around"

What’s wrong with polyester?
made of
toxic plastic
Polyester is PLASTIC. You likely try to avoid plastic - so do you really want to wear it?
Endocrine disrupting chemcials
Polyester can have endocrine disrupting chemicals - which can drop your T levels.
Sheds Microplastics
When you wear polyester, microplastics can shed into your skin and the air around you.
BPA and "Forever Chemicals"
These "forever chemicals" can leech into our water supply (and your skin).
Formaldehyde & antimony
Formaldehyde? You mean the toxic chemical they use on corpses? Yup, we do.
Potential Fertility Impacts
Endocrine disruptors are one reason men's sperm counts are down 50% since 1970.

Was tired of plastic on my balls
I was honestly shocked once I learned most of my underwear was made of plastic. Don't want that on my balls. Went searching for a brand without polyester - happy I found Ryker!
Jason M., Los Angeles
Merino wool is super comfy & strechy
These boxers fit exactly like my Lulu boxers. Was skeptical of Merino wool at first because I thought it'd be hot and itchy - I was wrong and these are honestly great!
Connor B., New York City
WAY better than 100% cotton boxers
Most natural boxers I've tried are just 100% cotton. They have no stretch and get super hot! These Ryker ones are super different - super stretchy, lightweight, and don't get too hot.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the problem with polyester?
Polyester is literally made of plastic. This means when you wear it & wash it, it can leach microplastics in the water supply (and your skin). It's also chock full of toxic chemicals (like BPA, bleach and formaldehyde). If you're worried about plastic and avoid things like plastic bottles and tupperware, you should avoid polyester.
Why Merino Wool?
Gym shorts made of wool? We know what you're thinking. But Merino wool is different. It's naturally stretchy, odor resistant, and temperature regulating. And its ultrafine fibers means it doesn't itch like normal wool.
Why is Merino wool better than 100% cotton?
100% cotton is great for some clothes (we even sell some awesome 100% organic cotton shorts!). But it's not ideal for boxers. Cotton can trap sweat & heat - not exactly ideal for the boys downstairs. 100% Merino wool is naturally sweat-wicking and temperature regulating - which is super ideal for activewear.
Do they fit & function like normal boxers?
Yes! We're not reinventing the wheel here - just making it healthier for you. Ryker boxers fit just like the big brands (Lulu, Calvin Klein, etc.) and function just the same. You can wear 'em while lifting, running, or just hanging out. Whatever you do, you can do in Ryker.
How do I care for my boxers?
We recommend a cold wash on a low setting. Don't put Merino wool in the dryer. Instead, just lay it flat to dry. The best part? Due to Merino wool's sweat wicking and odor regulating properties, you only need to wash your boxers every 3-5 wears. Sounds crazy (we know!) but trust us!
Do you offer returns & exchanges?
Of course - customer satisfaction is our #1 priority. We offer a 30-day return and exchange policy.
