Wear more, wash less
Alpaca wool naturally resists odor. Air your layer between wears, then wash it when it needs cleaning. Less time doing laundry. More time outside.
Keep the fit close and the length short. These women's biker shorts use 300 g/m² Alpaca wool fabric with natural stretch for walking, gentle movement, and everyday wear.
Free US shipping on orders over $200.
Return unused, unwashed items within 15 days of delivery. Return fees may apply.
Your layer starts with Alpaca wool from Peru. Its smooth fiber surface gives the knit a soft feel, while the knit structure allows air to move through as you do.
The fitted 300 g/m² knit offers natural stretch in a biker-short cut.
The knit stretches naturally as you move, keeping a fitted layer comfortable through changing positions.

I tried the shorts on as soon as they arrived and they felt itchy but I decided to wash them and try again. They got a lot softer after washing. I wore them for three days on a trip in 80-90 degree heat and they were great. They stretch out a bit, but they weren't hot at all.
Ordered one pair Alpaca bike shorts and received them quickly. These shorts are meant for extra comfort and warmth as underwear. Nice to know I can wear them as bike shorts too. Perfect fit! Luxurious feel. I love them. Immediately I ordered a second pair. If they came in all different colors I’d have one of each.
Almost 2 months after I got these, the seams on both inner thighs along three points - are coming apart, so there's three little openings on both inner thighs. This is the 2nd pair that I've purchased that this has happened, so it definitely seems like a flaw in how they're stitched. Super disappointing for the price.
Two stars for comfort.
These are soft and comfortable, but after only 1 year the seams are already coming undone. I only wear them lounging around, and I wash them inside out on the delicate cycle using wool wash. I only wash them with other wool items. Disappointing. I'm hoping it's just a defective pair.
These shorts are very soft, yet hold their shape. The length is perfect for an active lifestyle.
