Biker what? If you are late to the party (like we kind of were), bike shorts or biker shorts are sort of a combination of leggings and shorts. A little bit over the knee length, leggings like, tight material but comfortable active wear. And not only for sports and definitely not only for biking, but really for everyday wear.
In this blog post Weekendbee's TestBees Anna and Ida will be comparing 7 different sustainably made bike shorts from Weekendbee's collection. Enjoy!
These Girlfriend Collective Bike Shorts have it all - high waist, comfortable fabric and flattering cut. We listed below, why they are our top choice:
These Bike Shorts by Girlfriend Collective are perfect for the gym, walk in the park, yoga or just for hanging around. We even play beach volleyball in them. If you want a pair that works great for active stuff but also want to wear them in everyday life, this is your choice.
When you put these Girlfriend Collective Float High-Rise Bike Shorts on, you know thy the name is "Float". They are so comfortable it almost feels like you aren't wearing anything, almost just floating around. ;)
Needless to say, these bikers are extra comfortable.
Our choice would be yoga, walking and everyday hanging. Very breathable so they are comfortable to wear. We even wore these Float High-Rise Bike Shorts to beach volleyball practice, so they work great when doing a bit heavier exercising.
Ida is 178 cm tall and wears the size S.
These cuties are very similar to the Bike Shorts by Girlfriend Collective, but now you have pockets! Comfortable material, more compressive fabric and "normal" length makes these High-Rise Pocket Bike Shorts a perfect choice for anything.
This style is great for activities such as running, walking, gym, crossfit, yoga, hiking etc. This is the model you want have if you are looking to combine everything in one bike shorts.
Ida is 178 cm tall and wears the size S, but she has a short back.
This Girlfriend Collective Bike Unitard is a dream! It stays on place, in whatever activity you are into. Walking on hands, yoga, dancing - you name it.
As stated above, you can wear this Bike Unitard in anything where you feel frustrated with your clothes getting in your way. Downward-facing dog pose, weightlifting, rowing, dancing etc. Anytime you want to concentrate on doing and not correcting your leggings or top. Ida's favorite!
Anna is 178 cm tall and wears the size M/L.
Organic Basics never lets you down. These Active Yoga Shorts by Organic Basics are a bit shorter and remind us more of a regular short length. They are super comfortable since they are seamless. Let's list down some facts.
As the name refers, yoga mat is the place to wear these cuties. Of course, you can wear them wherever you like, but our tip is on your yoga mat. Seamless design makes them comfortable and unique. We will wear these Active Yoga Shorts at home and when hanging out in the Downward-facing dog pose.
Ida is 178 cm tall and wears the size M.
These Mimas Biker Shorts by the Finnish brand Népra are very comfortable. The fabric is a bit more elastic compared to the bike shorts by Girlfriend Collective. These feel soft and the waist is comfortable. The length is longer and they almost reach to your knee.
Wear this model anywhere! To the gym, the beach, to the shops, home, run in a park - you name it! Combine with sports bra, a cute top or why not a summer jacket. As described, the Mimas Biker Shorts are definitely a multipurpose shorts. ;)
Anna is 178 cm tall and wears the size M.
The Népra Fera Biker Shorts are super comfortable and nice and tight. These are perfect for heavier workouts - say hello to our new favorites!
This pair is our new favorite for gym workouts and lifting weights. Why not to wear them when biking and running as well! No matter where you wear them, if sweat is guaranteed this is your best pick!
Ida is 178 cm tall and wears the size M.
Lilja the Label is know for the cute, sustainable bikinis and one pieces, but this time we tried on their activewear. The material on these Ribbed Bikers is as the name says "ripped" and they feel very comfortable. The waist is a bit lower and tight compared to the Népra bike shorts or Girlfriend Collective bike shorts. Fun pair to wear when you are doing yoga or going for a walk.
Wear these Lilja the Label Ribbed Bikers while doing yoga or maybe hanging out at home or with friends. Why not do some heavier exercising as well, but to our taste the waistband isn't as comfortable as the other bikers have. Very cute design with a cute detailed wooden Lilja the Label logo on the side.
Anna is 178 cm tall and wears the size M.
These Gymnation High-Waist Biker Shorts are perfect for any activity. These tight, soft and flattering bikers are comfortable and of course, looks stylish!
As mentioned, these babes are great for all activities. We wear them at volleyball practice, at the gym and in a yoga studio. Okay, and sometimes just wearing them while hanging around the home. Perfect for everything! Combine with Gymnation's Muscle Crop Top.
Houdin Adventure Tricot Shorts are the perfect choice if you're looking for multi-purpose biker shorts for running, training, yoga, climbing or hiking. These bikers also feature pockets and a drawstring waistband.
These Tentree Inmotion shorter-leg bikers are a great choice for things like cycling, downward facing dog and drinking coffee.
People Tree's pocketed comfortably soft and breathable bikers are made from organic cotton and are suitable for a wide range of sports and also work great for everyday wear.
