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.
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.

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.
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
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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the problem with polyester?
Polyester is literally made of 100% plastic. This means when you wear it & wash it, it can leach tons of microplastics in the water supply and into the air around you. 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 organic cotton?
Organic cotton is the perfect natural fiber. It's free of toxic pesticides and harmful synthetic chemicals. It's also naturally soft & highly breathable - perfect for activewear. And the best part? We specifically weave our organic cotton fibers to keep their natural stretch - make them ideal for gym shorts.
Why Merino wool liner?
Gym shorts made with 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. This makes it perfect for built-in compression liner.
Do they fit & function like normal gym shorts?
Yes! We're not reinventing the wheel here - just making it healthier for you. Ryker shorts fit just like the big brands (Lulu, Vuori, Gymshark, etc.) and function just the same. You can lift in them, run in them, grapple in them - whatever you do, you can do in Ryker.
How do I care for my shorts?
We recommend a cold wash on a low setting. We recommend laying flat to dry.
Do you offer returns & exchanges?
Of course - customer satisfaction is our #1 priority. We offer a 30-day return and exchange policy.
