Soft, lightweight outer.

Built-in boxer brief liner with ultra-soft merino wool. There's the perfect amount of room for the boys to breathe while still keeping everything in place. And elastic in leg holes stop the liner from riding up.

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.
