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.

Essential Compressive Shorts (8" Inseam) deliver a supportive, body-sculpting fit designed to move with you. The high-rise waistband smooths and stays in place, while targeted seamless compression creates a secure, second-skin feel that supports muscles without restricting movement.

Engineered for movement and built for performance, the 8-inch inseam offers full coverage and chafe-resistant comfort, making these POWRspun™ seamless Merino wool performance shorts ideal for running, training, hiking, yoga, paddle boarding, travel, and everyday wear.

Transparency note: Because these seamless Merino wool compressive shorts are engineered for stretch and sculpting support, slight transparency may occur when the fabric is fully extended—such as during deep squats, downward-facing dog, or when sizing down. For additional coverage, we recommend pairing them with your favorite Essential Bikini, Hipster, or Boyshort underwear.

Naturally breathable, performance-driven, and consciously made, the Essential Compressive Shorts are built for women who want sustainable athletic shorts that perform as hard as they do.

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

Bonus: Our ZQ+™, OEKO-TEX 100, and RWS-certified Merino wool 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.
