clean running gear. not plastic. not toxic.
Merino wool running shorts. First release — coming soon
Certified clean
every fibre, traceable.
gots certified
Global Organic Textile Standard — the strictest organic textile certification. Covers the full supply chain: no toxic dyes, no chlorine bleach, no pesticides on the wool, fair labour from farm to factory.
oeko-tex standard 100
Every component tested for 1,000+ harmful substances. No PFAS, no formaldehyde, no heavy metals, no banned azo dyes. Safe in direct, prolonged contact with skin.
mulesing-free
Mulesing is the practice of cutting strips of flesh from live lambs to prevent flystrike. We only source from non-mulesed flocks, traceable back to the farm.
Why no polyester
running was supposed to be healthy.now your gear damages the body you intended to protect.
Most performance shorts on the market are polyester, nylon, or elastane — petroleum-derived plastics spun into fibres.
Every wash cycle releases up to 700,000 microplastic fibres into waterways. They've now been detected in human blood, lungs, the placenta, and breast milk.
Sweat, heat, and friction during a run pull residual industrial chemicals — antimony from PET production, PFAS “forever chemicals”, phthalate softeners — directly through the skin. These compounds are associated with endocrine disruption, inflammation, reduced fertility, and elevated cancer risk in a growing body of peer-reviewed research.
Merino is the opposite. A living fibre, grown on a sheep, that regulates temperature, wicks moisture, resists odour without antimicrobial coatings, and biodegrades fully at end of life. No plastic in. No plastic out.
