"Didn’t realise I’d love these shorts as much as I do but they’re amazing! The length is good, they don’t ride up my legs during my workouts, the indigo colour is gorgeous and the feel soft, comfortable breathable."
"I am very disappointed with the communication, as the shipment process took two months. Despite sending multiple emails, I received no response. I was keen to order items for my new non-toxic wardrobe. Short looks good but has very little stretch around the waist and legs."
"OBSESSED. The fabric is so soft and buttery that has a good elastic stretch. Will be trying the other colours!"
"I was shocked that it felt like actual activewear given that it is made from wool, pleasantly surprised! Good amount of stretch and beautiful colour. If you’re doing a super sweaty session might get some sweat marks but nothing crazy!"
"Amazing quality! These shorts are double lined, not see through, very breathable, and the perfect length. I would recommend sizing up 🩵"
"Love that these are natural fiber and great for my lady parts to breathe unlike synthetic activewear. They feel great and soft on - not itchy but a different feel to synthetic activewear. I sized up and they are the perfect fit."
"Disappointed. Tights are too tight in wrong areas. Makes em uncomfortable to work out in. Top. Have to rearrange but good woth sweat. Really disappointed in the shorts. Doubt ill even wear them again. And at 150. That sucks."
"These are the perfect length and fit for everyday wear, they don't ride up when you are exercising + I love the material, it feels so soft I want to wear it all the time!"
"Obsessed with this shorts. Ben looking for some material fiber activewear and this is definitely one of the best brands I found!"
"These shorts are comfortable and soft, but a tiny bit itchy at times, the size is good (I wear a M size in other activewear). They are a bit see through, so definitely not squat proof (wear nude knickers or none) I have been wearing to the gym for weight lifting sessions. Worn a few times in a row and they don't smell. I noticed that they get damp from sweat but not the same as "normal" activewear, seems to dry faster too. Would buy again if they were more squat proof."
