Better for Your Boys
Conventional synthetic athletic shorts can be processed with harmful chemicals like PFAS, BPA, and Azo Dyes. When you're sweating and your pores open up, this is the last thing you want to be wearing directly on your manhood. Our 100% merino wool liner and 100% Tencel outer doesn't load your most sensitive organs with toxic chemicals and microplastics.
Not A Cotton Sweat Short
Unlike heavy cotton gym shorts, the ATOM Shorts are designed with performance and elegance in mind. Our lightweight Tencel outer looks just like your favorite athleisure shorts — but without the plastic.
Feel up to 30X Less Sweaty
Merino wool can absorb and release up to 30x more sweat vapor than synthetics, while staying dry against your skin. This is a game-changer in keeping you dry, temperature-regulated, and comfortable.
Cools When You’re Hot, Warms When You’re Cold
Merino wool was evolved by desert sheep that thrived in extreme conditions, from scorching 100-degree summers to freezing 0-degree winters. This advanced biology keeps you perfectly temperature-regulated through your workouts.
5-Star Comfort
The same comfort from Avala's DREAM Shorts that thousands of men know and love, now made with 100% natural fabrics.
