Merino Wool Training Shorts

Domesticated by polyester. Gone feral.

Men's merino wool shorts for training: 100% merino wool, two zipped side pockets that fit a phone, a zipped back pocket, and a waistband of organic cotton and natural rubber.

Why it's built this way

Gym shorts are usually polyester, which traps heat exactly where you don't want it. Merino breathes, absorbs moisture vapour and resists odour. The waistband stretch comes from natural rubber, not elastane, so the whole piece stays free of plastic fibres.
