Updated: 5/10/2023 | Best Biker Shorts

Biker shorts aren’t leggings but they can be just as useful and comfortable when the weather is warmer outside.

Biker shorts can be worn alone with a cute bra or top. You can also wear them under dresses as anti-chafing shorts. And we can’t forget that they’re actually useful for biking around town or killing it in spin class.

What we like most about biker shorts, is that they give your knees and ankles some breathing room. Leggings can be constricting, but you can hold it all together without feeling constricted throughout!

Here are the best biker shorts on the market as chosen by our readers.

When we make our list of best leggings, we rate them on eco-friendliness, cost, design, performance, and fair company ethics (fair pay, equal opportunity, etc.). We only want to share the best for our environment with our readers.
