I compared Aerie bike shorts to a pair from Everlane.Celia Fernandez/Insider

I had been wearing the Aerie Real Wrap Bike Short ($29.95) around the house for months until Everlane launched its own $38 pair in June.
The Aerie bike shorts are comfortable, but I don't like to wear them outside of the house because they ride up.
In my opinion, it's worth it to spend a bit more money on the Everlane Perform Bike Shorts. They fit well, don't ride up, and even come with a pocket for holding cards.

I purchased the Aerie Real Me Wrap Bike Shorts ($29.95) late last year and have been wearing them around my apartment ever since.

I'm a big fan of the high waist and V-shaped design of the Aerie bike shorts.

I love my Aerie bike shorts, but I also wanted a pair I would feel comfortable enough to wear outside of my house. When I heard Everlane was launching the Perform Bike Short ($38) in June, I decided to give them a try.

I had never ordered anything from Everlane before, so the first thing I did was check the size guide.

Since I fall between a 16 and 18, I decided to order the bike shorts in an XXL. Everlane

A few minutes after completing my purchase, I got a confirmation email that my order had been placed.

Less than 24 hours later, I received an email letting me know that my Everlane bike shorts had shipped.

Two days after getting the shipping notification, the shorts arrived at my apartment in a sleek, recyclable envelope.

I was really impressed to see that the only thing inside the envelope was my item wrapped in a bag made from recycled plastic.

The Everlane shorts were snug when I first put them on, but in a good way. They suck you in but are also stretchy and comfortable.

What really sold me was discovering that the Everlane shorts have a small pocket, which is something that my Aerie pair lacks.

I wouldn't hesitate to add the Perform Bike Short to my Everlane cart again if I needed another pair.
