Designed for movement, built for performance, BRANWYN’s revolutionary Essential Compressive Shorts (6" inseam) offer a body-sculpting, second-skin feel with natural fiber comfort and sustainability.
Whether you're SUPing, heading out for a run, or rolling through your daily routine, these shorts are up for your most epic adventures.
Transparency: Due to the unique construction used to achieve seamless compression with Merino, some transparency may occur when the fabric is stretched, such as during deep squats, downward-facing dog, or when sizing down. To help solve this potential issue, we recommend pairing them with your favorite Essential Bikinis or Hipsters.
Made in Türkiye from naturally sustainable ZQ+ Merino wool, it's BPA-, PFAs-, and forever-chemical free. It features our POWRspun™ knit blend of 76% extra fine ZQ Merino, 14% nylon, and 10% elastane, an industry first.
The result: you stay fully supported, fresh, and funk-free even during your most grueling workouts and epic adventures.

Care Guide:
We recommend turning your shorts inside out and using a mesh cotton laundry bag to reduce stretching and stress on the fabric.
Hand or machine wash with similar colors in cool water with a wool-friendly detergent (avoid any that may contain the protease enzyme as this can cause wool erosion), then roll in a towel to eliminate excess water, and lay flat to dry. Merino dries super quickly. Do not put it in the dryer.
Important:
Always wash black and darker garments separately to avoid color transfer. Never use bleach or fabric softener. Bleach destroys Merino, while fabric softeners coat the fibers, minimizing their ability to manage moisture and regulate body temperature.
Garments damaged due to improper care cannot be refunded or exchanged.
Material:
Our ethically-sourced Merino wool is ZQ+™-certified. Our factory is located in Europe.
Each piece is knit seamlessly on Santoni machines and dyed in small batches. Every garment is unique, so no two pieces are exactly alike. We are very proud of our slow craft manufacturing process.
