EveryRep vs Nero

One of these is 15 percent elastane. It is not the one with the wool.

Why Nero is better

0% elastane

EveryRep's Freeform short is 85% TENCEL Modal and 15% bio-based elastane. Bio-based describes the feedstock, not the polymer.

40% merino

EveryRep's range contains no wool anywhere. Merino Air is 40% merino.

150gsm open mesh

EveryRep lists the Freeform short at 300gsm.

No plastic in the compression

EveryRep's BioLuxe compression fabric is described on their site as incorporating CiCLO, which its maker embeds in polyester and nylon fibres.

Merino Air is two pieces: a T-shirt and a vest

Close up of black merino and Tencel open knit training fabric

Merino Air is one fabric in two garments, and that is the whole range. The Merino Air T-Shirt and the Merino Air Vest. Nothing else uses it.

Both are 60% Tencel Lyocell and 40% merino in a 150gsm open mesh knit. Both come in black, carbon and burnt clay, sizes S to XL, single or in packs.

The Active Merino Liner Short

Nero shorts with the waistband lifted to show the built in merino wool liner

A 100% GOTS certified organic cotton shell over a 100% merino liner at 17.5 micron, RWS certified with no mulesing. Two open pockets, one secure zip pocket, 5.5 inch and 7.5 inch inseams.

  • Moisture moves into the fibre, not across it. Merino absorbs water vapour into the fibre core and releases it to the air, so odour compounds stay bound inside instead of sitting on the surface.
  • Zero petrochemicals. No polyester, no nylon, no elastane, no recycled bottle flake.
  • Merino sourced and produced in New Zealand. RWS certified, no mulesing, under OEKO-TEX Made in Green and WRAP.

The shorts are where most men start. The rest of the range, tees, vests and boxers, is in best sellers.

5/5 – Best Shorts I've Ever Owned

I bought the Nero Shorts made with wool and organic cotton, and I can confidently say they're the best shorts I've ever worn. The material is next-level, breathable, soft, and somehow manages to feel both lightweight and durable at the same time. The fit is perfect, relaxed but sharp, and they move with you without ever feeling bulky or stiff.

They've quickly become my go-to for everything from casual wear to lounging, and I genuinely notice the quality every time I put them on. The wool keeps you cool when it's hot and warm when it's cool. You can tell these were made with intention and attention to detail.

Highly recommend. I'll be buying another pair (or two).

Comfy and practical

These are some of the best shorts i've ever worn! Comfy, good pocket size, sits well on the booty! The merino on skin is really cosy, while the cotton outer always looks good! Finally found a pair of shorts that are good for me and the earth!
