The manufacturing of denim has historically been a water guzzling operation. But thanks to an innovative dyeing process, our partners in Turkey have reduced water use in their denim production by an astounding 95%. More than 140,000 tons of water are saved each year, a feat that has earnt the company certification from The Carbon Trust. Swathes of their organic denim are used in every pair of our shorts. We hope you’ll put the Hykerbiker through its paces on the trail. Because this pair of shorts is too good to only be worn around the firepit. Weight: 515g (medium). Colour: any – so long as it’s black. Fun fact: Our original design called for a second layer of fabric on the backside to reinforce the Hykerbiker. However, in testing, the canvas proved so durable that this additional strip of fabric became redundant. Less fabric means a reduced weight, a lower price and a smaller environmental impact. So SueMe.
