Customer Reviews Sweaty Betty Power 6" Biker Shorts

1st pair of cycling shorts ,feel a bit snug compared to my 7/8 power leggings in the same size

Lovely holding in shorts and good length for cycling but a little baggy round the end part of the thigh compared to the waist which was lovely

Absolutely loved the shorts. The fit was great & the side pocket a really great feature. The reason I gave these 4* when I washed them the SB logo on the leg came off! I had to return them I'm afraid.

I bought the 6 and 9 inch leg shorts to compare. I decided to go with the 6 inch as it was a more flattering length, and returned the 9 inch version. Im now wondering if that was the wrong decision as the legs rode up when I wore them to do body pump. They weren't as bad as other cheaper shorts ive had but i had to keep pulling the legs down into place. Shame as i have three pairs of the power leggings and cant fault them

Bought black plain shorts in my usual size- have 4 patterned versions - too tight around my thighs! Not sure if just this pair are faulty or all plain shorts fit differently to the patterns. Sent back

Lovely shorts 6" as always but sizing seems t have changed to smaller fitting :( so having to return them

They are well made, pattern is good, lots of pockets etc (very useful) BUT they don't flatter a middle aged thigh, I can tell you. They ride up a little as you wear them and the result is some unsightly lumps and bumps where the shorts end on your leg. I accidentally ripped the label as I put them on otherwise they would have gone back.

I bought these shorts for just wearing out and about - the waist band rolls down constantly (can't tell if it's because they're too big, or because I have a smaller waist). The fabric is nice, pocket is super handy. I'll keep them because I've obviously worn them - will try other shorts :)

I love power leggings, but I was slightly disappointed by these. Shape and fit great as I'd expect, but the fabric is really heavy and thick. Sadly I didn't realise until I had worn them for a run, so now I can't return. They definitely won't be my go-to for summer runs as I was hoping.

I bought the small size for distance running. Usually wear XS. I find the legs baggy with a gap around my thigh.

It would be good to have phone pocket on the right hand side too, but that's a minor set-back. The main issue is that they keep riding up my thighs during exercise (running and HIIT), so having to constantly pull them down is annoying. I have other shorts that don't ride up that cost less.

I LOVE SB active wear, I have quite a few pairs of leggings and thought I'd give the shorts a go. First I tried the power high waisted 9" they fit great but were a bit long on the leg. So I ordered the 6" but they're not high waisted and they make me feel a bit chunky. They don't hold anything in (mum tum). I've never been a fan of the power range, I much prefer sculpt. The 6" is the perfect leg length though and don't ride up, which is brilliant. My pocket on the side has stretched out a bit after putting my phone in (worn them twice). I have a medium and large and I'm a size 10/12. The medium give me a muffin top and the large are probably a bit too big and I should have returned them. I have 8 Pairs of SB leggings and usually wear a medium so these do come up snug for me. Hoping they bring more options for shorts. Some great benefits, but not 100% on them.

Bought for running as I always love the power leggings and have so many pairs, but in the heat I thought shorts might be a good option. They're great until I start running and then they bunch up around the crotch. Maybe my thighs are too big so they ride up - all I know is that if I was doing longer than 5-6 miles they wouldn't be comfortable enough for me.

I have the leggings, amazing so I wanted some shorts. Dissappointed when I tried them on, as the hem on the leg was gappy and did not fit well at all. I will order another pair to see if any better.

Smart and did fit well and look nice but found a little uncomfy when exercising in them

Looked nice when I put them on, but did not pass the squat test! I love the power leggings so was hoping these would be as good.

I assumed these would be the same as the power leggings but just shorts! They are a completely different fit. Uncomfortable, shorts ride up and even more annoying they cut you in half. Maybe if you sized up that would help but sadly they were so bad I won't be trying a different size.

Sadly the zip on the pocket didn't work and no replacement was available, I am usually delighted with Sweaty Beaty products which I have worn and used for many years

I have worn SB power leggings for years in a mix of M and L, ordered the 6" and 9" power shorts in size L, both felt too tight on the thigh

I wanted to love these so badly, they are super cute and flattering. However, for cycle shorts they have no hold at all. They ride up and roll up at the slightest movement. When walking and working out in them, I was constantly having to pull them down every few seconds. It definitely wasn't a size issue as they fit perfectly, a smaller size would have been too tight. It's a shame, but definitely couldn't exercise in them at all, so they're not fit for they're purpose.
