Tripulse vs Nero
Tripulse tells you not to use its shorts for high abrasion training. We built ours for six days a week.
Why Nero is better
Tripulse shorts are 16% ROICA elastane. A different elastane is a different feedstock, not a different polymer.
Tripulse's own care guidance says avoid high abrasion activity to preserve the fabric. Ours has no such caveat.
Tripulse tops are Tencel alone. Merino Air pairs Tencel with wool.
A published fibre diameter and a named welfare scheme. Tripulse has no wool.
No conditions on how hard you train in them first.

The Active Merino Liner Short
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 Air is two pieces: a T-shirt and a vest
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.
