   Athletic Shorts With Pockets!
   I’m pretty sure I write for many women when I say that pockets are important in all garments, especially athletic shorts. I don’t carry a purse on a run or a workout, and yet I usually need my car keys and my phone. Either my shorts have pockets, or I have to wear a sportsy fanny pack or backpack, and I’d rather not have extra baggage on a run.These shorts have pockets! I wish the pockets zipped, but these are a good start. The pockets are deep enough down the legs that they can hold a smartphone without it popping out the opening. The pockets are integrated into the shorts’ legs, so that they are fully supported by the rest of the fabric. The shorts have a thick waist section, again, for support, and the fabric is thick, but stretchy. I thought I needed to order a size up, due to the stretchy fabric, but these must run true-to-size. I usually wear a US women’s 6-8–6 in pants–and the Large in these shorts fits, but is not as snug as it could be. I probably needed a Medium, and will order that size next time. The shorts stay up and cling close, but the leg openings are just the smallest bit too wide. The shorts are, however, still very wearable, and are comfortable and not constrictive, even with my possessions in the pockets!

   Comfortable and functional
   These shorts check all the boxes for what I want in activewear. The fabric is thick, stretchy, and holds up during movement without being restrictive. The high waistband adds support without squeezing too tightly, and I appreciate that they stay in place – no rolling or riding up. The real win here is the pockets. They’re deep enough to hold a phone or keys securely without bouncing or slipping out mid-run. While I wish they had zippers, the integrated design feels stable and well-made. I sized up and still found the fit comfortable, but I’ll likely go with my usual size next time for a more snug feel. Overall, these are dependable, no-fuss workout shorts that make sense for real life.

   runs small
   very comfy, but these shorts run a bit small. I ordered large, but should have ordered an extra large. (I’m a size 12/14 depending on the brand.) They are soft, but tight, so they stay in place. The are just right for work-out shorts.

   Comfortable!
   These are very comfortable! I got them mainly to wear under dresses and I can’t even tell they’re there. The material is soft and stretchy. I tend to wear size small and the small fit for these are perfect. I could definitely see these being comfortable for a workout.

   Comfortable and squatproof
   These shorts are just as good as pricier more well-known branded at a lower price point. The sizing, navy color, and fit match the product photos.The fabric is thick enough to where you can’t see under the fabric when you squat or move but still then enough to remain cool. The fabric is breathable and as someone who is a heavy sweater, you don’t need to worry about sweat really showing.The pockets are nice and deep which can accommodate a phone plus other items if needed. You don’t need to worry about those tiny pockets you find on other pants or shorts.His shorts do provide tummy control but not really pledge control. They don’t dig in and have plenty of flex which make them comfortable to move around in. I also didn’t have any issues with the bottom of the shorts riding up as I was walking or running.

   Comfortable and light
   These are soft, like lululemon soft, and so comfortable. A lot of bike shorts have an elastic waist band around the top making them dig in but this one doesn’t. It’s lightly supportive all over, including the waist band, but doesn’t fall or slide down when working out. They have a lot of stretch to them and I love the pockets on each side. Overall these biker shorts are great for breathability, function, and comfort.

   Fantastic stretchy shorts
   These Amazon Essentials biker shorts are absolutely perfect! The large, black size fits flawlessly, and the material is incredibly buttery soft against the skin. While I probably could’ve gone with a medium due to the fantastic stretch properties of the fabric, I opted for the large out of concern for a tight fit. Had I ordered the medium, it likely would have offered more compression, but with my body type, I would’ve risked the waist rolling down and the thighs rolling up. I’m completely satisfied with the large. I love that the high waist and legs stay put and don’t roll down or up during any activity. The best feature by far are the two generous pockets, which easily and securely hold my cell phone without any fear of it falling out. Highly recommend!

   Pretty good overall
   These are overall really nice. They are sized perfectly and very comfortable. Great fit and I love the fabric and comfort. The pockets fit my phone and it stays in well as I move around. The legs stay put and don’t roll up which is important to me and the waistband stays in place as well. My one complaint is the fabric can be a little thin. I wear black panties with all leggings or workout clothes that are black so no issue but if you wore other colored panties I do venture to say these may have a little see through quality. Not a ton but I have a very small bum and if it was bigger I think it would pose a bigger issue with this if the fabric had to stretch more. Either size up in this case or wear black or corresponding panties and no issue.

   These “Amazon Essentials Women’s Active FormFlex Buttery Soft High Waist 5” (13 cm) Biker Shorts” have pockets on both sides of them which can be handy for your phone, keys or what have you. They are a simple yet reliable item in my experience. There’s not a tonne to say about them but the highlights are that they’re a lovely, soft and comfy material that is easy to get on & off. Because the material is stretchy the shorts are breathable and move well with your body. I’m not sure what else you need, really?I’m happy for sure. Like I said, they’re a fairly simple item and I’m not going to bang on and on unnecessarily but they are comfy, work well and do the job I want them to. Washed them once after use and no issues there either on my regular wash cycle. I’ve no reason to give anything other than five stars. No complaints.

    Diese Radlerhose von Amazon Essentials hat meine Freundin getestet – und sie ist absolut begeistert. Schon beim ersten Anprobieren war klar: Das ist kein gewöhnliches Sport-Basic, sondern ein echtes Wohlfühlteil!Das Highlight: der Stoff.Der Name „Buttery Soft“ ist hier wirklich Programm – der Stoff ist außergewöhnlich weich, angenehm glatt und fühlt sich fast wie eine zweite Haut an. Nichts kratzt, nichts zwickt, selbst nach längerem Tragen bleibt das Material atmungsaktiv und bequem. Gerade bei sommerlichen Temperaturen oder beim Sport ist das ein echter Pluspunkt.Schnitt und Passform:Die Passform ist hervorragend. Der High-Waist-Bund sitzt sicher, ohne einzuengen, und zaubert gleichzeitig eine schöne Silhouette. Die Hose rutscht auch bei viel Bewegung (Joggen, Yoga, Radfahren) nicht und bleibt an Ort und Stelle – kein ständiges Hochziehen nötig. Der Schnitt ist sportlich, aber figurbetont – perfekt für aktive Tage, aber auch absolut alltagstauglich unter einem Oversize-Shirt oder Hoodie.Die Taschen – endlich sinnvoll platziert!Ein weiteres großes Plus: die praktischen Seitentaschen. Diese sind groß genug für ein Smartphone, Schlüssel oder eine kleine Geldbörse und sitzen so, dass nichts beim Laufen herausfällt. Besonders beim Workout oder schnellen Gängen zum Supermarkt sehr praktisch.Pflegeleicht und langlebig:Auch nach mehreren Waschgängen sieht die Hose aus wie neu: keine Ausbeulungen, keine Pillingbildung, keine Farbverluste. Sie trocknet schnell und bleibt formstabil – so soll es sein!Fazit meiner Freundin:Die FormFlex Radlerhose von Amazon Essentials kombiniert Komfort, Funktion und Stil auf richtig hohem Niveau – und das zu einem absolut fairen Preis. Egal ob fürs Fitnessstudio, die Yogastunde oder einfach für gemütliche Stunden zu Hause: Diese Shorts sind vielseitig einsetzbar und fühlen sich einfach fantastisch an. Eine klare Empfehlung – ich werde mir direkt noch eine zweite bestellen!

    Lovely smooth fabric, which with the flat seams makes them super comfy. They have washed well with no loss of shape or bobbling.On the XS size, the two pockets are about 130mm deep, the stretch in the fabric holds a regular sized iPhone pretty securely.
