Leafigure 2 Pack Biker Shorts Review: Is the Two-For-One Deal Actually Good
Two pairs of biker shorts for the price of one decent pair — a rare case where the "2 pack" listing on Amazon isn't a trap. Leafigure sits high, stays put through squats, and the pocket actually fits a phone. The catch: the fabric isn't premium, so if you're training hard every day, treat these as a one-or-two-season buy, not a five-year staple.
You know the drill: you drop $30 on leggings, wear them for two months, and suddenly they go see-through on a squat right when you're trying to film your progress in the gym mirror. It's happened to me enough times that I started looking at the other end of the deal — where you get two pairs for the price of one "proper" one. Leafigure is exactly that kind of deal.
Technically these aren't leggings but biker shorts — cut just above the knee, high waistband, a wide elastic band that doesn't dig in or roll into a little sausage after an hour of training. The fabric is thick enough that it doesn't go transparent even in light colors when you stretch — I checked specifically, because that's the one thing brands always conveniently leave out of the description. Compression is moderate: not the "squeeze from ribs to knees" every listing promises, but a genuinely comfortable hold around the belly and lower back, without the vacuum-packed sausage effect.
The pockets are probably the main reason these shorts deserve a look on their own, separate from the hundred lookalikes flooding every marketplace. One deep side pocket per leg — nothing falls out mid-run, even on cracked pavement, and I tested this with a regular iPhone in a case, not some slim silicone shell. Keys and a card fit in without a fight too. If your gym locker is across the room and you need your phone for the timer or music, this genuinely saves you some hassle.
Now for where the hype ends and reality kicks in. This fabric is not Lululemon, and it's not even mid-tier Gymshark — it's a touch thinner, and after a month of regular washing it starts to loosen slightly around the thighs. For yoga and stretching that's a non-issue, but in heavy strength work — squatting under a barbell 40 minutes a day — the seams can start complaining sooner than you'd like. Compared to CRZ Yoga, which most people use as the benchmark for fabric density, Leafigure is softer and thinner — nicer against the skin in summer, but less armored for daily heavy loads.
Sizing runs on the US chart, and it's the usual story: size down from whatever you'd normally grab locally. The high waist really does sit high — up to or even above the navel — which works in your favor if you're self-conscious about your stomach, since the fabric there is denser and actually shapes rather than just stretching over. But if you've got a long torso, that waistband can start feeling too high for comfort, especially when seated.
Two pairs in one order isn't just a marketing gimmick. In practice it means that while one pair is drying after a wash (hand-wash or delicate cycle is best — the elastic wears out faster otherwise), the other is already back in rotation. If you're training four or five times a week, that pretty much solves the "what do I wear today" problem without doing laundry every other day.
Skip converting the on-page price into your own currency — check the full landed cost on dede.sh, which folds the item, forwarding, and any import duty into one number for your country. Even after all of that, it typically still comes in well below what you'd pay for something comparable at a local sportswear shop, simply because US mass-market activewear starts from a lower base price.
Who this is for: anyone training regularly, who wants a real phone pocket, and isn't chasing a logo for the sake of a logo. Yoga, pilates, easy jogging, moderate-intensity gym sessions — all fine. Who should skip it: if you're doing heavy strength training daily and you're used to Nike Pro or dense Gymshark Flex, this fabric will start to feel thin within a couple of months. And if you specifically need a long-torso fit under a high waistband without discomfort, better to try these on in person or hunt for reviews with exact height measurements.
FAQ
Not in the dark colors — tested through a deep squat. Lighter shades run a bit thinner, so if you're eyeing a pale color for intense stretching, grab a darker pair from the set for the heavy sessions instead.
CRZ Yoga is denser and holds its shape longer under heavy loads, but it costs noticeably more per pair. Leafigure wins on value — two pairs for the price of one — and works perfectly well for yoga, cardio, or light strength training.
Yes, the pockets are deep and set on the side, and a cased phone stays put even on uneven trails. Larger phones like a Pro Max fit a bit snugly, but they hold securely.
Size down from your usual — a small in Leafigure tends to fit like a medium from most local brands. The waistband runs high, so if you're between sizes, go smaller; it stretches to fit anyway.
