Once you see this, it’s hard to unsee it…

Your workout clothes were invented by oil companies.

After World War 2, the petroleum industry was booming. But when the war ended, they lost their biggest customer.

They had to pivot. They took the same petroleum byproducts - and turned them into fabric.

And polyester was born. Insanely cheap, scalable and easy to produce.

But polyester is plastic. Just plastic in the shape of a pair of shorts.

It sheds microplastics. It’s chock full of toxic chemicals. And you’re wearing it for 16 hours a way.

It’s disgusting when you really think about it.

Most gym shorts are made from polyester, which is literally just a type of synthetic plastic. That becomes a serious issue the second you step into a 180-degree sauna.

When you heat plastic up to that temperature, studies show that it may leach endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA - directly into your skin. And BPA is a known hormone disruptor - the same toxin you avoid from plastic water bottles and Tupperware. That means if you’re sitting the sauna in polyester, you could be baking toxins into your skin.

The solution is natural fabrics like organic cotton. No plastic, no toxins, just materials from nature, not from a lab. Stop wearing plastic in the sauna - and wear natural fabrics that your body will appreciate.

Big Activewear has spent decades convincing people that plastic = performance.

But here’s the truth: your gym clothes are made of plastic.

The SAME plastic that you avoid in water bottles. The SAME plastic that sheds microplastics. And the SAME plastic that’s often chock full of harmful chemicals like phthalates.

Not only that - they convinced you to pay a 10x markup for the privilege.

At Ryker, we don’t do plastic.

Just natural fibers like organic cotton and Merino wool. It’s how activewear should be - made from nature, not from a lab.

Did you know you could be inhaling up to 68,000 microplastic particles every DAY? 🤯

These compounds accumulate over time, potentially impacting your endocrine system and even lowering your hormone levels.

But here’s the thing: you CAN meaningfully reduce your exposure. And a big way to do that is through wearing healthier clothes.

Synthetic fabrics like polyester shed microplastics into the air around you every time you wear them. These are the exact same microplastic particles that you could be breathing in daily.

By switching to natural fibers, you can avoid this microplastic shedding - and substantially reduce your exposure through a very common pathway.

A simple swap that can make an actual difference.

Ever wonder why your gym shorts smell HORRIBLE after one workout? It comes down to the fabric.

Synthetic materials like polyester are oleophilic—meaning they naturally attract and hold onto body oils. When you sweat, those oils get locked deep into the synthetic fibers, creating a perfect breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria. That’s why you get that “gym shorts” smell - that can even linger after the wash.

Natural fibers, like organic cotton and merino wool, respond differently. They don’t attract and trap oils the way synthetics do, which keeps smelly bacteria from building up over time.

Just another reason natural fibers are best for both workout and everyday wear.

Ladies - if you’re the crunchy one in the relationship, you’ve gotta get him to stop wearing polyester.

You detoxed his kitchen and his bathroom. But he’s still walking around in plastic clothes all day??

Get him in healthier gear where it counts. Underwear. Shorts. Anything touching his skin.

Because if you’re living a low tox lifestyle - natural clothes should be apart of that.

For the first time in human history, the majority of your clothes are literally made of plastic. How did we get here?

It started in 1951 - when chemical companies like Dupont claimed they had created a “miracle fiber”.

What really happened? They figured out a way to turn their surplus oil into fabric.

Throughout the 60s and 70s, production exploded - bringing us to today - where nearly 60% of clothes and 99% of activewear are made of polyester - aka, plastic.

Unfortunately - like most things with giant industries - this comes at the expense of human health.

Studies show that polyester fabrics can contain 40x the allowable limit of BPA - a known hormone disruptor - and can even leach these chemicals into your skin and bloodstream.

Not only that - polyester accounts for nearly 35% of microplastics in our water supply - which eventually you ingest again.

The thing is - we didn’t always wear plastic. For centuries - humans wore natural, non-toxic fibers like wool, silk, linen and cotton.

And that’s what we do here at . We make men’s activewear with only natural fibers like organic cotton and Merino wool. No polyester or plastic based fabrics.

Because we believe you shouldn’t believe the Big Clothing lie that plastic = performance.
