The Ultimate High Waisted Bike Shorts for Every Active Lifestyle
Slip into confidence with Vajraapp’s high waisted bike shorts – where performance meets effortless style. Designed for the modern Australian woman who demands both function and fashion, these black bike shorts with pockets are your new go-to for everything from high-intensity workouts to weekend brunches. With sculpting compression, breathable fabric, and discreet side pockets, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them. Whether you’re crushing spin class or running errands, these shorts move with you while keeping you sleek, supported, and stylish.
The Science Behind Our High Waisted Bike Shorts
Premium Performance Fabric
Engineered with Vajraapp’s proprietary V-Tech™ fabric blend (82% recycled nylon, 18% elastane), these high waisted bike shorts offer four-way stretch, sweat-wicking technology, and UPF 50+ sun protection. The lightweight material provides muscle-hugging compression without restricting movement, while the moisture-wicking finish keeps you dry during even the most intense workouts.
Innovative Design Features
• Seamless waistband: 8cm sculpting band eliminates muffin top while staying put during movement
• Laser-cut edges: Prevents chafing with smooth, raw-edge hemming
• Dual side pockets: Deep enough for smartphones (fits iPhone 14 Pro Max) with secure, sweat-proof lining
• Gusseted crotch: Reduces friction and provides breathability where you need it most
Ergonomic Construction
Our pattern designers spent 18 months perfecting the 3D contouring that lifts your glutes while smoothing your silhouette. The strategic seam placement follows natural muscle lines for a flattering fit across all body types (sizes AU 6-18).
Designed for the Australian Lifestyle
For the Fitness Enthusiast
These black bike shorts with pockets are gym-ready with anti-slip silicone grip strips at the hem that stay perfectly positioned during HIIT, cycling, or hot yoga. The compression fabric supports muscle recovery while the high waist provides core stability during dynamic movements.
For the Busy Mum
From school drop-offs to playground adventures, the quick-dry fabric handles spills while the pockets keep essentials accessible. The opaque material (tested for squat-proof performance) gives you confidence during every activity.
For the Weekend Explorer
Pair with a cropped tank for coastal walks or layer under dresses for chafe-free outings. The UPF protection makes them ideal for outdoor activities, while the sleek black shade transitions effortlessly from day to night.

• Certified carbon neutral: From fabric sourcing to delivery

Complete Style Guide: How to Wear Your Bike Shorts
1. Gym Goddess
Pair with a matching sports bra and oversized tee knotted at the waist. Add white sneakers for the ultimate workout ensemble.
2. Coffee Run Chic
Layer under an oversized linen shirt with slides and a crossbody bag. The pockets keep your keys/card handy.
3. Athleisure Elevated
Tuck a fitted turtleneck into the high waist and add ankle boots for a fashion-forward look.
Pro Tip: The versatile black shade coordinates with all Vajraapp activewear collections. Mix with our sage green or terracotta tops for seasonal flair.
Care & Longevity: Maximise Your Investment
To maintain the quality of your high waisted bike shorts:
• Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C max) with similar colours. Use a delicates bag to preserve the silicone grips.
• Drying: Always air dry flat – the fabric’s recovery properties are heat-sensitive.
• Storage: Fold rather than hang to prevent waistband stretching.
• Special Care: For chlorine/saltwater exposure, rinse immediately after use.
With proper care, your shorts will maintain their shape, compression, and colour for 2-3 years of regular wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these bike shorts squat-proof?
Absolutely. We triple-test all fabrics (including in direct sunlight) to ensure complete opacity. Our black colourway has a 100% pass rate in customer testing.
How do the sizes run?
We recommend your usual activewear size. The fabric contains 18% elastane for stretch with recovery. If between sizes or preferring looser compression, size up. Our size chart includes waist/hip measurements in centimetres.
Can I use these for cycling?
Yes! The 8cm waistband prevents ride-up, and the gusseted crotch reduces saddle friction. For long-distance cycling, we recommend pairing with our padded cycling underwear.
Do the pockets stretch out over time?
The pocket design uses reinforced elasticated mesh that maintains its shape. In durability testing, pockets retained 97% of their original tension after 150 washes.
What makes these different from cheaper bike shorts?
Beyond premium fabrics, our shorts feature:
– No front seam (prevents camel toe)
– Flatlock stitching (no chafing)
– Eco-friendly dye process (no pilling)
– Designed specifically for Australian climates

Okay, I’m obsessed with these bike shorts! The high waist is *chef’s kiss*—no rolling down during my chaotic mum life, whether I’m at the gym or chasing my toddler at the park. The fabric’s super stretchy but still holds everything in, and the pockets? Lifesaver for my phone when I’m running errands. Plus, they actually wick sweat—I wore them to a sweaty Pilates class and didn’t feel gross after. Honestly, they’re my go-to now. Worth every cent!

Okay, so I’ve been living in these high-waisted bike shorts for my yoga and Pilates sessions—super comfy and actually stay put during downward dog! The pockets are a lifesaver for my keys when I’m running errands afterward. Fabric’s breathable, which is a must in Aussie heat, and the cut’s flattering without digging in. Only gripe? The waistband could be a tad wider for extra support during intense moves. Still, they’re a solid pick for low-impact workouts and casual wear.
