Why Nero is better
Reprise's Fusion high impact line is 85% polyamide and 15% spandex. Polyamide is nylon.
Reprise's Tencel styles carry 7 to 8% spandex. Ours carry none.
Reprise builds on Tencel alone. Merino Air pairs Tencel with wool.

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.
RWS certified merino, sourced and produced in New Zealand
