Unlike any natural activewear you've met before: shorts made of 100% organic cotton, with a built-in liner of 100% Merino wool.
- Fabrics and dyes certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100
- Organic cotton sourced from GOTS-certified suppliers
- Outer shorts of 100% organic cotton, lined with 100% organic Merino wool
- Independent third-party testing confirms our fabrics contain no BPA, PFAS or phthalates – the report is available here.
- The Merino wool we use isn't superwashed. A new GOTS-compliant method relies on ozone to descale the fibers instead, giving the wool a certain level of machine washability. Learn more here.
Say goodbye to polyester shorts with toxic liners. Move to Apex shorts crafted from natural fibers.
We guarantee these are the most comfortable gym shorts you'll ever wear.
NOTE: THEY RUN LARGE - ORDER A SIZE SMALLER FOR THE PERFECT FIT

Nice product, decent price. Shipping updates kept me informed the whole time.
Arrived well packaged, nothing damaged. Looks and feels premium.
Would give it 4.5 if I could. Small detail I'd change, but overall very good.
Delivery was quick and the packaging was neat. Good service.
Good value for money. Does the job without any fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the problem with polyester?
Polyester, nylon and spandex are plastics. Worn against the skin they trap heat and sweat, hold on to odor, shed microplastics and can carry chemicals such as BPA, phthalates and PFAS. That is why we only work with natural fibers.
What materials do you use?
Natural fibers only: GOTS-certified organic cotton, Merino wool and, in our hemp line, a hemp and organic cotton blend. No polyester, nylon or spandex anywhere.
What makes the price higher than certain other synthetic brands?
Certified organic cotton and fine Merino cost several times more than plastic fibers, and our garments are made in small batches by audited partners who pay fair wages. Every fabric is also tested by an independent lab.
What are GOTS & OEKO-TEX Standard 100?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certifies that cotton was grown and processed without synthetic pesticides or toxic chemicals. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means the fibers, fabrics and dyes were checked by a third party for harmful substances, including BPA and PFAS.
What dyes do you use?
Our dyes are certified under OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and GOTS-compliant processes, so they are screened for heavy metals and other harmful substances.
Are your clothes 3rd party tested?
Yes. On top of the factory certifications, our fabrics are sent to independent labs and tested for BPA, PFAS and phthalates.
Where are your products made?
We work with a handful of manufacturing partners we've had for years, based in Turkey, Vietnam and China. All factories hold GOTS and OEKO-TEX certification, and our team has toured each one personally.
How do I pick my size / do your products shrink?
Each product page shows a fit note right under the size options, plus a size chart. Cotton is pre-shrunk; Merino can shrink about 4-7% after the first one or two washes, so washing cold and drying flat is best.
What's the return policy?
Returns and exchanges are simple. Our Refund policy page lists the return window and the steps to start one.
