In this video I’m doing an honest, unsponsored biker shorts try-on and review on my curvy body, because I’ve been hunting for the best pairs for summer—both for the gym and for lounging. I’m 5’7” with a 31.5” waist and 43” hips, and I’m walking you through how each pair fits on my shape, what size I chose, and what I’d personally reach for again. I’m comparing a mix of “name brand” shorts and more affordable dupes so you can see the difference in look and feel. I try Balance Athletica Rider Shorts (Snow Leopard Midnight, size M), multiple Gymshark Flex Cycling Shorts and Mid-Rise Flex Shorts (all size M), NVGTN-style biker short dupes in black and beige speckled (size M), and the ECHT Scrunch Shorts II (Grenadine, size L). The big takeaway is that you don’t have to guess—seeing each waistband rise, leg length, and overall vibe on a curvier body makes it way easier to pick what’ll actually work for you. I also link my other reviews (Gymshark Flex, NVGTN leggings, Balance Kingdom Collection, and ECHT outlet) if you want deeper dives on the brands.
