We Couldn't Find Natural Fiber Activewear. So We Made It.
The Quad Short. Organic cotton shell. Merino wool liner. Zero synthetic materials.
Quad Short: Natural Fiber Short
The numbers behind the Quad Short.
athletic shorts that met our standards for fit, comfort, materials, aesthetic, and performance. Nothing out there checked every box.
years of R&D learning the industry, making tech packs, iterating samples & improving production runs to get every detail right
of major activewear brands use synthetic materials. "Sustainable" recycled polyester is still polyester.
Every Detail Was a Deliberate Choice
Zero Synthetic Materials
Every material choice was intentional, not cost-optimized. No polyester, no nylon, no spandex. Conviction drove the decisions, not margins.
GOTS Certified Organic Cotton
Third-party verified because claims without proof are just marketing. Made with GOTS-certified organic cotton, the gold standard for organic textiles.
Merino Wool Liner
The liner is 100% merino wool because it naturally does what synthetics need chemicals to do. It wicks moisture, resists odor, and regulates temperature.
290GSM Heavyweight Construction
I wanted something that feels substantial. Not the thin, disposable stuff. 290GSM brushed terry that gets better with every wear.
Zipper Pockets That Actually Work
Functional details matter. Side zipper pockets that securely hold your phone, keys, and wallet. Real pockets shouldn't be an afterthought.
4" Shell / 6" Liner Inseam
The shell sits above the knee for range of motion. The liner extends below for coverage and compression. Two different lengths, designed to work together.
Don't Take Our Word for It
"Yahli was super fast to respond and ship everything out"
I think these are the best athletic shorts ever. They feel really high quality... love the ZIPPERED pockets... Yahli was super fast to respond and ship everything out. Highly recommend getting these.
"Insanely hard to find athletic wear not made of polyester, and these are TOP TIER"
These shorts are the best! It's insanely hard to find athletic wear that is not made of polyester and these are TOP TIER. The wool lining is so soft...
"All natural fibre training short with great customer service"
Great pair of shorts! Been looking for an all natural fibre training short for a while and have got these in black. Super comfortable, great wicking layer with the merino wool and great customer service! Would recommend.
Quad Short vs. Polyester Performance Shorts
How Wayve compares to the brands you already know.
Real People. Real Reviews.
"No better feeling than natural fibers against your skin"
There is no better feeling than clean, organic, natural fibers against your skin. These shorts make me happy.
"Phasing out all my other shorts for these"
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.
"Weightlifting, hiking Camelback Mountain. Must have."
Have worn the shorts for both weightlifting and hiking (Camelback Mountain). Love the comfort and versatility. Must have for anyone with active lifestyle.
"Noticeable difference in my energy levels"
Got my first full lift in today... felt a noticeable difference in my energy levels... The zipper pockets are nice because you don't have to worry about stuff falling out.
Wayve isn't backed by investors or run by executives. It's just me. When you buy from Wayve, you're buying from someone who cares about this as much as you do.
