Zipper ripped

This are confortable that is true but the zipper on the left pocket got ripped not even after the first wash!

From Workout to Sauna

One of the best things about these shorts given the fact they’re non-toxic is that I can go to the sauna right after a workout (without having to worry about toxic chemicals leaching through my skin). They fit nice, though if they had an extra small I’d probably go for that (I’m 140lb 5’8). I wear these daily to the gym, got them in black and blue. Very good quality. Very satisfied.

An honest review

27 y/o average gym go-er and these shorts are awesome. Soft, smooth, stretchy, and a decent weight. Fabric has good thickness and quality too. Does run a tad tight, but that’s the fabric. Size up if you like a little looser, but beware with liner. Liners can vary in size as I found in my 2-pack bundle. Liners cut more as a Trunk than Brief, so shorter in length should be expected. Extremely comfortable and soft liner tho, I recommend. Doubling back for no-liner too to try.
Sweat will show with the shorts as I learned! If you sweat a lot get dark colors.
Overall, I’ll be switching to these shorts for lifts and runs. I’ve tried them all, trust me, and for what the long term value holds I think it’s worth it. Call me granola.

Comfortable!

Shorts have been great so far. Super comfortable. I did request an exchange as the shorts are true to size. I ordered up one size based on a few reviews, but found that they are true to size and exchanged for my normal size (Lg). Exchange process was easy. First time purchaser, purchased two; I'm hoping they last, as they are not cheap, especially the inner wool liner as I am wearing them for running. Wool can be fragile and wear easily. Time will tell. They have survived 3 runs so far, hopefully many, many more.

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.

Looked everywhere for organic cotton shorts for runnning - glad I found them

Literally all of my other running shorts were made of plastic like polyester. Really wanted to find something more natural. Found Ryker and 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.

Holds up incredibly well for races

Was worried about how they'd hold up in training compared to my synthetics. I do Hyrox and have been impressed. Lightweight & thin but sturdy.
