Warm days – short trousers. Yet it's not only the summer weather that makes these shorts a hot item! The 3-thread organic cotton loopback fleece feels comfortable and gentle to the skin.

The Merz sweat shorts run true to size; they will shrink with the first wash, but the waist will stretch due to its elastic band. We recommend choosing your usual sweatpants size. However, individual body types can vary, so, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
Please note that these shorts are not industrial pre-washed. Please, consider aprox. 3% (2-3cm) shrinkage in lenght after the first wash. However, this shrinkage length is already calculated when cutting the product, and extra length is added. So it may be that the first time you try on the shorts, they seem a little too long. But be sure: after the first wash, they fit perfectly.
