Tell me more about the fit

Our Essential Compressive Bottoms are meant to fit snugly on the body. If you prefer a less compressive fit, we recommend sizing up. 

Will it stretch out?

The POWRspun fibers form to your body. The longer you wear our leggings and shorts, the more second-skin feeling they become. Following our care guidelines is the most important factor in ensuring the longevity and recovery of your seamless Merino Essential Compressive Leggings and Shorts.

Designed for movement, built for performance, BRANWYN’s revolutionary Essential Compressive Shorts (6" inseam) offer a body-sculpting, second-skin feel with natural fiber comfort and sustainability.

Whether you're SUPing, heading out for a run, or rolling through your daily routine, these shorts are up for your most epic adventures. 

Transparency: Due to the unique construction used to achieve seamless compression with Merino, some transparency may occur when the fabric is stretched, such as during deep squats, downward-facing dog, or when sizing down. To help solve this potential issue, we recommend pairing them with your favorite Essential Bikinis or Hipsters. 

Made in Türkiye from naturally sustainable New Zealand ZQ Merino, it's BPA-, PFAs-, and forever-chemical free. It features our POWRspun™ knit blend of 76% extra fine ZQ Merino, 14% nylon, and 10% elastane, an industry first.

The result: you stay fully supported, fresh, and funk-free even during your most grueling workouts and epic adventures.

FAQs: Additional questions or want to learn more? Check out our Essential Compressive Shorts FAQs.

Bonus: Our ZQ, OEKO-TEX 100, and RWS-certified Merino yarn is regenerative and sustainable.

Double Bonus: We hear it all the time… Our Essential Compressive Shorts are the perfect hug to help you crush your next PR.

PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Designed for superior performance and maximum comfort—it all starts with Merino wool. Super-soft, ultra-fine Merino wicks sweat to keep you dry, fresh, and funk-free. The natural crimp of its fiber traps air so you stay cool when things heat up and keep warm when there’s a chill.

LOVE

I love these, so comfortable and breathable

Great quality - run small

The shorts are comfortable and great quality. They do run at least one size small so I highly recommend ordering up.

🖤🤎💙🖤

i sized up like others recommended - comfy! They do rise a bit on the inside of the leg if I pulled them down but when I didn’t the legs stayed in place well. I like them!
I love all my Branwyn items! A lot of through hikers (which I just do sections) swear by the brand!! If you are active in any sport, or a hiker like me - anything Branwyn can’t be beat! I have most all!! They seemed spendy at first but so worth it - comfort and quality are worth it!!

Another win by Branwyn

Branwyn just keeps getting better. Thank you for expanding your merino offerings WITHOUT compromising quality or customer service! These shorts are true to size with good compression. No bulging, rolling, or pinching. If you wanted a little less compression, you could size up and still have a flattering look.

Compression shorts

Very comfortable all day long with no binding feeling anywhere.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE FOR 14 DAYS

Not sure about wool?
