About Our Fabrics
Toolshed's high performance, climate controlled fabric is the new definition of cool. Ultimately Toolshed will be the first piece of equipment you put on before any active endeavor.
Alpha-X6
Alpha-X6 is 100% woven microfiber polyester. It is an extremely lightweight, durable and quick drying fabric used in boxers and boxer boardy shorts. It would be difficult to find a better fabric for the nation's best performance boxers.
Alpha-X8

The small amount of cotton in the fabric acts as a natural sweat absorber while the polyester transports moisture to the outside of the fabric for fast evaporation.
