The review of various biker shorts brands highlights the pros and cons of each style based on the writer’s personal experience. The Wolaco North Moore biker shorts were not favored due to their traditional compression short design and issues with ride-up and adjusting the waistband. The Alo 3-inch high-waist Airlift shorts were also criticized for being too short and having a tendency to ride up and down during testing. The Janji 3-inch AFO-Vent multishorts were deemed too short and exposed, with thin material raising quality concerns.
Another style, the Koral Alice crepe shorts, was praised for its comfort but deemed less functional than the Under Armour Fly-By 2.0 shorts for running. The Athleta Salutation Stash Pocket II 5-inch shorts were criticized for rolling down at the waist during activities, leading to discomfort. The Baleaf The Laureate UPF 50+ high-rise board shorts, initially thought to be suitable for hiking, were found too large and more suited as swimwear cover-ups than exercise shorts.
Among the Baleaf styles tested, the Flyleaf compression two-in-one shorts fell short due to insecure pockets unable to hold the writer’s phone, which fell out. The Flyleaf high-rise seamless shorts were deemed too thin and see-through, posing a potential problem for wear during exercise. The Flyleaf high-rise padded shorts, designed for serious cyclists, were critiqued for having padding that was too thick to be comfortably worn for extended bike rides. Overall, the review offers detailed insights into the functionality and comfort levels of various biker shorts brands, ultimately helping readers make informed decisions on their purchase.
