Designed for movement and built for performance, BRANWYN’s Essential Compressive Shorts are made from seamless 76% ZQ+ 17.5-micron Merino wool, with a 6" inseam. They give you a sculpting, second-skin feel with natural-fiber comfort.

Whether you’re out on a SUP, heading out for a run or deep in a training session, these are up for your most epic adventures.

Our industry-first, proprietary POWRspun™ Merino wool knit technology gives them a compressive fit and 4-way stretch that moves like a second skin. The soft, wide waistband never digs in, and naturally sweat-wicking, odor-resistant Merino wool keeps you dry and fresh from the first mile to the last.

They’re thicker and have more substance than you might expect. Give yourself a few wears to get to know them. Once you do, there’s no going back.

A note on coverage: Our seamless Merino wool knit is made to move with you. In deep stretches like squats or downward dog, or if you size down, the fabric may show some transparency. For full coverage, pair them with your favorite Essential Bikini or Hipster. If you’re between sizes, size up.

Bonus: Our ZQ+™ 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.
