Designer‘s notes
"We designed the Vayper shorts primarily for runs in hot weather but they’re so light you could use them for watersports or as sleepwear on hut-to-hutting adventures. For those of us that run hot, these shorts have the perfect ‘barely there’ weightless feel. The only problem is the possibility of suddenly panicking that you forgot to put them on!" - Ronnie, Design ManagerWashing instructions

Reducing our carbon footprint

Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
