Built on CiCLO® biodegradable fiber.
CiCLO® is built into our recycled synthetics to do two things: shed fewer microplastics in wear and wash, and biodegrade rather than linger. Independent testing shows CiCLO treated fibers biodegrade in under four years — so they don’t add to long-term microplastic pollution.

"I’ve tried a ton of shorts for lifting and these are my favorite. Super comfy and stretchy while keeping everything in place. My fiancee is a big fan of the 5” inseam. I’m 5’9 and 170 lbs and I wear the medium. I’d say these run slightly large, as I was on the border between medium and large and the large was much too big."
"The material is really nice, and overall the design is good. They also look good, but the liner design is not very comfortable. I have other shorts with more comfortable liners."
"Love these shorts. The fit is almost perfect. My only wish is that they made a 5. 5” or 6” inseam. 5” is a bit too short and the next size up is 7”. Would be nice to have a middle option."
"These are by far the best workout shorts I’ve purchased. The material is soft and sturdy. They are versatile enough to wear to yoga and the gym. I love them!"
"I like these shorts! They look great and are comfortable. Sometimes though, the liner rides up."
"I have both the 5 inch and 7 inch. I love the 5 inch length more for leg days at the gym the fit is good and materials better than the other name brands better in quality and for my skin."
"Great shorts for running or lifting weights and not plastic"
"The Tor Shorts are comfortable and fit great! They are perfect for working out or spending time outside when it’s hot."
"Have 2 pairs and they are incredibly comfortable and fit well. Wear them for running, working out, and just lounging!"
"I’ve put these shorts through everything from heavy squats to high-intensity cardio, and I can honestly say these are the best shorts I have ever worn for workouts. The first thing you notice is the freedom of movement. The 5” inseam is the "gold standard" length—long enough to keep you covered during deep lunges, but short enough that there is zero fabric interference. The material has a premium, high-performance stretch that moves with your body rather than resisting it."
