5 Reasons To Ditch
Your Toxic Polyester
Gym Shorts
Why Make the Switch?
Polyester = Plastic
Polyester is actually just a type of plastic. It's often made of the same type of plastic that plastic water bottles are made of! If you avoid those, do you really want to be wearing it all day?
BPA & PFAs ("Forever Chemicals")
Several polyester-based athletic brands have tested for high levels of BPA - an estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemical. Additionally, many "moisture-wicking" fabrics contain PFAs & PFCs - "forever chemicals" that can leach into your body & have been shown to lower testosterone.
Polyester sheds microplastics
Because polyester is made of plastic, every time you wash & wear, tiny microplastics shed from the clothes. This means your largest organ - your skin - is exposed to microplastics. Not only that, you can also absorb these microplastics by breathing them into your lungs!
Potential fertility impacts
One study showed that men who wore polyester underwear all became azoospermic - meaning their sperm count dropped to zero. Do you really want to be rocking polyester all day?
Sweat & Stink
Polyester isn't naturally breathable - it's actually designed to trap moisture against the skin. This makes it a breeding ground for bacteria, stink, and skin irritation. Ever wonder why your gym shorts STINK after just one workout? This is why!

Stylish, comfortable, and natural. Smart choice.
Zero complaints with them. Size up!
Great shorts, been using them primarily for lifting. Very comfortable and the fit is good. The only thing I wish is that they came pre-shrunk. I end up needing to size up to account for when I inevitably send them through the wrong wash.
Seams are already coming loose less than a month in, This is not an 80-100 pair of shorts. The material isn't really thick and the stitches are weak. This is a $20 pair of shorts.
Best shorts I’ve worn. Boxers too. Most comfortable and worth every penny.
Threw out what I had and spent a good amount for shorts. I suggest you do the same.
