If Your Clothes Had an Ingredient Label, Would You Still Wear Them?

See why health-conscious men are replacing synthetic gym shorts with natural fibers.

BPA. PFAs. Formaldehyde. Microplastics. Most activewear is full of things you'd never put on your skin if you knew they were there. The Quad Short has two ingredients: organic cotton and merino wool.

"No better feeling than clean, organic, natural fibers against your skin"

There is no better feeling than clean, organic, natural fibers against your skin. These shorts make me happy.

★★★★★

"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 and amazing to workout in.

★★★★★

"Noticeable difference in my energy levels"

Got my first full lift in today since buying these shorts and felt a noticeable difference in my energy levels. There is something about wearing natural fibers that amplifies your energy and these shorts give that feeling.

Real People. Real Reviews.

★★★★★

"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... Yahli was super fast to respond and ship everything out. Highly recommend getting these.

★★★★★

"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.

★★★★★

"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.

Yahli, Founder of Wayve
I wanted to know exactly what I was putting on my skin every day. When I looked into what most activewear is actually made of, the answer wasn't good enough.

So I built something with an ingredient list I could stand behind. Two natural materials. Third-party certified. Nothing to hide.

Questions? Here Are the Answers.

The Quad Short is made with GOTS-certified organic cotton, the highest global standard for organic textiles. The dyes are OEKO-TEX 100 certified, verified to be free of harmful substances. These certifications are held by our manufacturer and audited independently.
Most activewear brands list "polyester" or "recycled polyester" and stop there. They don't mention the chemical treatments applied during manufacturing: PFAs for water resistance, formaldehyde for wrinkle resistance, antimicrobial coatings to manage odor. These are standard industry practices that rarely show up on a label.
Merino wool is nature's performance fabric. It wicks moisture, resists odor, regulates temperature, and is hypoallergenic. The merino liner in the Quad Short delivers the same functional performance as synthetic liners, except it's a natural fiber. No chemical treatments required.
Yes. The Quad Short uses a 290GSM brushed terry construction, significantly heavier and more durable than typical synthetic shorts. Our customers regularly train, lift, and run in them. The fabric gets softer with wear while maintaining its structure.
Machine wash cold with like colors. Lay flat to dry for best results. The merino wool liner is naturally odor-resistant, so you won't need to wash them as often as synthetic shorts. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
7-day returns from delivery. Item must be unworn, unused, with tags attached and in original packaging. We provide a return shipping label. Free shipping on US orders $150+. Contact info@wayvewear.com to start a return.
