BALEAFWomen's 6"/8" High Waisted Biker Shorts with Pockets for Gym Workout Yoga Running Athletic

I was looking for a replacement for my medium size Danskin compression bike shorts that I have worn for 14 years. They are no longer made. Mind you, I used to bike 2-3 times a week in them, sometimes for 10-12 miles a ride. They are still like new. I don’t like riding in anything but compression shorts.In recent years, however, with some health issues I don’t ride as often or as long…and I have put on a few extra pounds (the 60’s can tend to really ruin a lady’s figure seemingly overnight!). My old Danskins, though still in great shape, are a bit snug now and too short for my less-than-fit upper legs these days.I ordered these in the 8” leg in Large; I’m 5’6” and 160 pounds. They fit perfect! Unlike a pair of RBKs in size Large that I tried, the legs fit just right (RBKs were a bit too loose, and too short at 5”…they would creep up while I rode and I had to keep pulling them down a bit). The legs on these do *not* creep up at all while I ride.These are about the same weight as the Danskins. They are lightweight enough for smooth movement and comfort in warmer weather, yet heavy enough that you feel like they will last a while. Very soft material. The pockets are nice and deep, though I’m not a fan of side pockets (with stuff in them, makes your hips look weird, lol). I have always preferred the small slit-in-the-waistband pocket of the Danskins.I like the high waist, as I *am* high waisted. The fit provides just enough “compression” to fit nicely without being too snug. They are not loose on me anywhere. They certainly won’t hold in the spare tire I now have…that’s what our mothers/grandmothers tried to do with girdles…yikes. It’s gotta go somewhere. But with the higher waist they at least keep that tire in the middle somewhat “restrained”, lol! Very comfortable for cycling.I also like that the company offers colors besides black 😝…I live in FL, ugh with that. I got the gray…same color as my Danskins. 😉

Okay, I love the regular yoga pants by Baleaf (I own several), so I shouldn't be surprised I love these too. But here I am. :)I've been walking my chubby self around the neighborhood but hate the ride up of shorts that happens between my thighs. IYKYK. I've had yoga-type biker shorts in the past from a different brand but they didn't have pockets and I didn't like the way they made my legs and belly look like sausage rolls coming out of their stuffing, lol.I gave these a try but ordered several sizes up. (I'm 5/8", 198 so I ordered the 3X with 6" inseam). Good plan because these slide on and don't cling, but they don't gap and they don't ride up. They are not stuck on my skin on the lower thigh part (thus avoiding the sausage effect) and have a slightly loose feel there...but they stay down and do not ride up at all when I'm walking. They don't slide down either.They are buttery soft which is what amazed me the most...softer than my regular Baleaf full-length yoga pants. Of course, love the pockets -- perfect size for my phone to just slide in. The camo print is more subtle than what appears in the pics but I'm okay with that.Very happy with this purchase.

Was looking for some shorts to work out in since it’s been so hot lately and decided to give these a try. These are some excellent shorts! I have thicker thighs so usually shorts will ride up, but I got the 6 inch length and they’re perfect! No riding up or thigh rubbing! I think the 6 inch length is a great length as it hits above the knees so still looks fashionable without having it ride up! The material is more cotton than spandex, which I like bc it helps keep the shorts down, but can give it a slightly less “workout” pant feel. Not a problem for me, but maybe for others. I absolutely love the pockets! Deep enough to hold my iPhone 15 and my keys! I bought both the L and XL, they both fit, but the XL gave a bit more room in the waist so I went with those. For reference I’m 5’2 and about 200 pounds with most of my weight in my stomach and thighs. No issues with the material being see through either! Highly recommend these shorts, they’ve saved my summer workouts!!

Fits great and sooooo comfortable

If you're between sizes like I am, DEFINITELY size down. I'm on the verge of needing larges for other things and do not regret buying a large in these. They feel looser than my XL biker shorts in a different brand. They're not compression, and so they don't look as good, in my opinion. They don't hold in my belly fat. They're very stretchy and comfortable as a result. The fabric is lightweight but not see-through. They seem to stay put and not roll down.

I own several pair of Baleaf biker shorts, leggings and joggers. Always happy with their products. I wear these to workout in and they're soft, comfortable and wear well.

I have several things from Baleaf and love them all! I have to say that having these in the 6" length is perfection! Well, that and the pockets!! I am 5'5" and 160lbs. I finally sized down to a medium and the fit is much better. I am definitely one of those people who falls perfectly in between sizes. I wear my size M when exercising since they stay put. I wear my size L for lounging and hanging out because the legs shift up and down with movement. I also love the thickness of the material! I go commando in bike shorts and these are definitely opaque and don't show lumps or dimples!! I highly suggest!

I am between a size 10 and 12 (ordered large). These did not work well for me; I used the in a spin class, material seem to hold onto moisture, shorts rolled up at the leg during the workout, material was too thin for my liking, and pocket too small for an iPhone 15 pro max.
