Carbon Negative
Producing the DREAM Shorts generates 11.2 kg of CO2. For every pair of shorts sold, we are removing 16.2 kg of CO2 from the atmosphere. That is a net carbon sink of 5 kg per pair! Learn more about our industry-leading climate efforts here.
Avala was founded in San Diego, California by local environmentalist and Forbes 30 Under 30 scientist, Julian Davis.
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.
Better for Your Boys
The liners in conventional workout shorts are often treated with PFAS (forever chemicals) to help artificially wick moisture. These same PFAS have been linked to lower testosterone, infertility, and cancer. Our Nuyarn® merino wool liner naturally wicks moisture and is completely free of these toxic chemicals. Our lightweight outer shell is also PFAS-free and non-toxic, made from OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 polyester and spandex.
We designed these shorts to maximize both health and performance. Because you shouldn't have to compromise between protecting your boys and hitting your PR.
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.
Do Less Laundry, Travel Lighter
Astronauts wear the same merino wool clothes for weeks because of its space-saving, antibacterial properties. When you’re traveling with the DREAM shorts, you can pack lighter, check less luggage, and do less laundry.
Enhancing Merino Wool

Got these shorts in the blue and black as a gift for my boyfriend and he basically hasn’t taken them off since. He loves them and says they are the comfiest shorts he’s worn. Worth the price!

100/10 quality + service
Short answer: these are amazing!
Long answer: Bought these as a gift for my dad and he's obsessed. Saw an IG ad for these shorts on 12/20 and knew I had to buy him a pair. The order wasn't expected to arrive until 12/29 (reasonable given the day I ordered) but they were magically in my mailbox on Christmas Eve NIGHT and I was able to give them to him on Christmas Day. Incredible shipping time especially given the time of year.
He said they felt so luxe and proceeded to run around the house in them all morning. He's a big time runner and super picky about how his gear feels so this is a rave review. We are in the northeast so I know he'll be hype when he can finally take them for a spin outside.
Avala has now made it into his future gift rotation :) thank you!

Great product that you probably didn’t know you needed
Great product that you probably didn’t know you needed. For context, my hot take is that liners are great, you wear em, you wash em - it’s convenient. But they aren’t always comfortable.
These shorts don’t have that problem. I bought these hoping for extra comfort on an upcoming half-marathon. I have been training in them and they were extremely comfortable and breathable. Even more surprising was that they were fairly dry after my last 10 miles…
These are expensive but IMHO worth the $, which is hard to say at the $80+ price tag. I will be buying another pair, hoping for some more colorways in the future!
