Like magic. We're a big believer in show, don't tell. So take a look at the graphics below!

The problem with most athletic shorts is that the pockets are too shallow, and open on the side. 

We solve this problem by making the pockets super deep, and open on the front. 

Keap Athletics actively invests in sustainability initiatives to have the most positive impact on the environment possible. Below is a list of some of the initiatives/values that we invest in. 

 1) We don't believe in fast-fashion. We create limited runs, and design products to last a lifetime.

 2) All of our orders are shipped in packaging made from 100% recycled plastic and use algae-based ink.

 3) We offset all carbon emissions created by shipping on a per order level and fund projects to protect forests: currently we are funding this project.

 4) We'll cover the shipping to send back our products to us. Upon receiving we will re-use it, or recycle it properly though a TerraCycle Zero Waste Box.

Our "Active" shorts are made up of a blend of 90% polyester and 10% elastane. It is performant, super stretchy, and highly breathable.

Our "Original" shorts are made up of a 100% polyester blend- it's equally performant and breathable, but not stretchy.

We use 100% recycled polyester in all shorts produced after Dec 2020.

If you find yourself in between two sizes we recommend going a size up and letting our elastic waistband and drawstring do their thing. If you feel differently, we encourage you to follow your heart. See waist sizes below.

We recommend washing on cold (no fabric softener or bleach) and low tumble dry. We strongly discourage ironing our products.

We design all of our products in-house in Fremont, Ca and manufacture our products in the United States, Indonesia and China. We take pride in the relationships we've built with fair, ethical, and high-quality manufacturing partners.

Thanks for asking. My name is Patrick- I own Keap and design the products and website (with some very clutch help from some of my friends- shout out Mike and Jessica). I started Keap with some of my best friends because we kept having stuff fall out of our pockets and it was annoying. In 2014 we launched a kickstarter that was successfully funded. From 2014 - 2019 the business was a side-hustle. In 2019 I went full-time on the business to upgrade all aspects of the experience and designed "The Active". We just launched in 2020 and I'm stoked on the product we created. If you ever want to chat, or have any questions / feedback on the product, company or business - shoot me an email at Patrick@KeapAthletics.com
