Summary

Bota Organic Cotton Shorts score 95/100. Built on 95% GOTS-certified organic cotton with 5% spandex in a heavyweight 280 gsm knit.

Organic cotton is breathable, biodegradable, and sheds no microplastics. High-waisted with a 4-inch inseam, a wide waistband, a seamless front and a hidden waistband pocket, cut squat-proof in the heavier 280 gsm fabric.
