Essential Compressive Short 8"
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.
