Product Information

and below: We don't recommend workout leggings with this rating; you won't find any on our list. We Also Tested Overall, we tested 14 pairs of squat-proof leggings, but ultimately left one out of our final list of recommendations. While we did find some notable features, this pair didn’t quite make the cut. Finding the best shorts for performing earth-shattering squats can be a challenge. In short, you want to find shorts that deliver: As the shorts are made to keep you cool and dry, they are comfortable to wear during your workout. They also have the added advantage of being flexible, although there are breathability issues.

With a 3.5” inseam you will get a full inch of extra fabric between your legs to prevent any chafing when compared to the Virus shorts. However, they are still short enough to not constrict your legs or make you feel really hot.

Be sure to read the whole article if you want additional information on each of the shorts. Plus, I’ll go into detail on each of the key features to look at to determine if a pair of shorts is good or bad for squatting. Model For instance, should you go for padded cycling shorts, waist bike shorts or bib shorts? And what exactly is a chamois (pronounced: 'shammy')? Don’t panic – find answers to all the burning questions you have about cycling shorts below, plus the WH edit of all the best pairs to buy now. You’re welcome. The shorts aren’t eye-catching. They are your typical regular pair of workout shorts. But the added design of the drawstrings helps with the fit and comfort of the shorts. It’s tough to find flare leggings in petite sizes. But Yogipace’s Bootcut Yoga pants come in 10 inseam lengths, including short inseams that range from 25 to 28 inches and petite inseams that range from 29 to 30 inches. They use a lightweight, breathable and comfortable material that also delivers on durability with secure stitching.

For the price, we’re happy to deal with these tradeoffs. And we’re excited to find great leggings in many sizes. We also love that the leggings come in 18 shades and prints—though we’d like to see more inseam options too. As a bonus, they offer good aesthetics as well. They have a nice-looking fit. And I think the more modest lifters out there will appreciate that they aren’t super short like some of the other shorts I reviewed, which could be seen as a bit risqué for the commercial gym setting. Shorts with less overall material include the Born Primitive Double Take Booty Shortsand the Feed Me, Fight Me – Women’s Core Shorts. We also found these to be one of the most durable flare leggings that we tested: After wearing and washing them for one month straight, they showed no signs of wear and tear. But, before purchasing this chic pair, keep in mind that they may be too long for shorter wearers.In May 2023, the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) announced that it found high levels of BPA in some polyester-spandex leggings. BPA (Bisphenol A) is a chemical found in certain plastics. And research has found that high exposure to it can cause health complications like obesity, hormonal imbalance, and uterine cancer. We would never knowingly recommend products that cause harm. But right now, scientists are still studying the transdermal effects of BPA, and none of the leggings the CEH cited have been recalled. Ultimately, none of those leggings made our final list. But we may recommend products like them.

The material is strong and durable, with quality stitching. It has the best construction of all squat shorts I’ve tried. Additionally, look for if they have features that may make them more convenient or functional to use, such asInseam runs from approximately 3.5” to 4.5” depending on size. I own the XL size and measured the inseam at just a hair over 4.5″.
