Sizing and fit

These boxers have a fitted cut for enhanced moisture transfer to the outside of the fabric.

ORIGIN OF THE WOOL

We only use wool from merino sheep bred on farms in South Africa that do not practise mulesing.
We decided to build a partnership with a group of breeders (Konsortium Merino) to guarantee respect for animal welfare and the environment.
This means we have full traceability, which allows us to guarantee the origin of the wool.

HOW HAVE WE REINFORCED THE DURABILITY OF OUR MERINO WOOL BOXER SHORTS?

We have used a BETA-SPUN yarn structure in which the polyamide threads coat the Merino wool fibres and protect them from rubbing and breaking without affecting their properties.

Tip before use

To make the component feel softer, don't hesitate to wash your boxers before first use.

HOW TO WASH YOUR MERINO WOOL BOXERS

We recommend that you machine wash your Trek 500 Merino boxers at 30°C on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent.

Dry flat and NEVER tumble dry unless you want it to shrink by one or two sizes!
