Why Are These Shorts So Expensive?
At $90, the Quad Short costs the same as premium shorts from Alo, Ten Thousand, or Vuori, except you're getting organic cotton and merino wool instead of polyester. Same price point, but materials that actually support your health instead of wrapping you in plastic.
You're spending more on cheap shorts than you think.
per year on "affordable" shorts... You buy several $35-40 pairs that pill, stretch out, and stink within months. Buy, replace, repeat.
Same price as luxury activewear brands, except your money goes into organic cotton and merino wool instead of polyester and marketing budgets.
per wear. That's the Quad Short worn twice a week for a year. And it's just getting started. Your cheap shorts won't make it that far.
What $90 Actually Gets You
Worth Every Dollar — Customers Agree
"Worth the price"
Absolutely love these shorts! Fit and style are great. Will be purchasing more and highly recommend! Worth the price!
"Buying more in different colors"
Excellent fit, materials, and style. Will be buying more of these in different colors.
"Got my second pair — phasing out all my other shorts"
Just got my second pair! Slowly but surely, I'm going to phase out all my other shorts... They hold up great... and feel as comfy as any other performance shorts I've worn over the years.
Where Your $90 Goes
Under $1 Per Wear in Year One
$90 ÷ 100 wears (twice a week for a year). And they're just getting started - they last years. Compare that to $35 synthetics you replace every few months.
290GSM — Built for Years, Not Seasons
Nearly 3x heavier than most athletic shorts. This weight means durability, structure, and a premium feel that holds up wash after wash. Gets softer over time while synthetics degrade.
Organic Cotton That Improves With Age
Brushed terry construction that gets softer with every wash while maintaining its shape. Synthetics pill, stretch out, and lose structure. This does the opposite.
Merino Liner — Fewer Washes, Longer Life
Natural odor resistance means you can wear them 3-4x between washes. Less washing = longer lifespan = better cost-per-wear. And less time doing laundry.
Same Price as Big Brands — Better Materials
Lululemon and Vuori charge $90+ for polyester. We charge $90 for organic cotton and merino wool: natural materials that support your health instead of working against it. Same price, fundamentally different product.
Quad Short vs. Polyester Performance Shorts
3-Pack: $250. Save $20. Your entire shorts rotation upgraded for years.

The Investment Pays Off
"Can't wait to get another color"
Have only worn these a few times, but so far I'm extremely happy... I can't wait to get another color when they are restocked!
"Best athletic shorts ever — really high quality"
I think these are the best athletic shorts ever. They feel really high quality... love the ZIPPERED pockets... Highly recommend getting these.
"Fits perfect and material is clean"
Love these shorts, fits perfect and material is clean which I love even more!
"I wear them every day — great quality"
Awesome shorts. I wear them every day. Great quality.
Unlike other "luxury" activewear brands, we don't use synthetics that are cheap to produce and terrible for your health. We chose to go with what we believe real luxury actually is - natural fibers, excellent quality, and beautiful design.
That's what the price reflects. Not a marketing gimmick. Not a logo markup. Just the best materials we could find, built into a product we're proud of.
