They're clean.
They live in your bag and come out for the sauna. Leave the sweaty gym kit in your locker.

- When deposits open: $10, refundable for any reason until it ships. Extras go on the balance. Shipping and any tax are confirmed by email first. US only.
- We're aiming for summer 2027. We'll confirm a real date before we take any money.
The pack sits behind fabric. Never put a frozen pack directly on bare skin. If you go numb, take it out. Heat isn't for everyone. Leave when you want to.

Why you'll want them.
They're comfortable.
Washed linen outside, cotton against you, and a cut made for sitting around doing nothing.
They keep a secret.
The cold pack sits inside, behind the linen. Built to take the edge off a long round, with nobody on the bench any the wiser.

Planned fibers
By section, heaviest first.
Shell: linen. Also sampling linen/cotton and linen/Tencel.
Liner: cotton.
Pocket: wool, cotton, polyester film.
Waistband: covered elastic with rubber, cotton drawcord.
Sleeve: wool.
Origin to be confirmed before production. We'll state it here.
A linen shell and a cotton liner against your skin. The film is polyester-based, the pack is sealed in plastic and the elastic has rubber in it, so nobody should call this all-natural. We won't.
Washing
Take the pack out. Machine wash cold, hang dry. Linen shrinks if you're mean to it. Wipe the pack clean, and please don't microwave it.
In the box
The shorts. Two cold packs, if you chose them. A cold test card. A hangtag you'll throw away.
OK, one nerdy bit
Insulation on the outside, so the cold goes to you and not the room.
- The pocket, closed
Looks like nothing. Good.
Keep scrolling and it comes apart, layer by layer.
- Layer 1 of 6
Linen shell
What everyone sees. It has one job: look like shorts.
- Layer 2 of 6
Cotton face
The front of the pocket. A plain cotton wall between the linen and everything behind it.
- Layer 3 of 6
Wool felt
The insulation. It goes on the room side, not your side. That's the whole trick.
- Layer 4 of 6
Reflective film
The stuff emergency blankets are made of, polyester-based. It turns heat back toward the room.
- Layer 5 of 6
Cold pack
Soft, freezable, about 4.5 by 4 inches, sealed in plastic film. It slides in from the top, at your locker.
- Layer 6 of 6
Cotton liner
Holds the whole pocket. The pack sits behind fabric, never against your skin.
- All together
Room on one side, you on the other.
Heat comes from the room. Felt and film sit on that side, so the pack is built to spend its cold on you, and not on the sauna.
The questions people ask first.
Will it show?
It's designed to read as shorts from three feet away. The pocket sits on the liner, behind the linen.
How long does it stay cold?
We're designing for a full round, and we'll publish the numbers before the first batch ships. How the cold test works.
How do I get a frozen pack to the gym?
Freeze it at home and carry it in the wool sleeve. That's what the sleeve is for.
What am I committing to?
Nothing. Reserving saves your size and setup against your email. No card, no charge. When deposits open we'll write to you, and you decide then.
What if I get the size wrong?
Email us and we'll change your hold. No charge, no form, no judgment.
