Shipping & Returns

The Briar is the ultimate pair of bike shorts, featuring deep pockets on both sides! We’ve reinforced the waistband to give you extra tummy control. Our lightweight recycled nylon feels buttery soft to touch and wicks away your sweat as you move.

UPDATE: We've improved the seams with a special new machine to make them even better than before!

Fabric: 76% Recycled Nylon, 24% Spandex. The recycled yarn is made from fishing nets, plastic bottles and textile waste. Our fabric has a 'peached' finish to make it beautifully soft. Please be careful of rough surfaces to keep it in great condition.

Made in our Wellington workshop by our talented team of sewers from refugee and migrant backgrounds.

The best bike shorts

I own a few pairs of bike shorts and I’ve been wearing these mostly for the last 3 months. They are just so much more comfortable than my others and they don’t cut into my thighs like some other pairs I have.

I think I’ll probably order a second pair once they restock because they are now my go to and my other bike shorts don’t even compare!

Love these!

True to size, feels great on, love the soft feel of the fabric and the pockets!

Will definitely choose Nisa first for any further activewear.

Makes me excited to exercise!

Love my new shorts, the fabric is soft, the fit is really comfortable and the colour is gorgeous. Have gone on weekly runs and they have held up well, no need to pull up or rejig part way through the exercise. No complaints at all about these shorts, and the ethical stance of Nisa means this is now my first choice for active wear.

Have bought these in two different colours and love both of them. They’re super comfy and are squat proof!

So comfy!

I've worn these short every day since they arrived! They are not only great for working out but for lounging around the house too! Super soft material, squad proof and pockets are the perfect size.
