The Beyond Yoga Spacedye Keep Pace 5" Short is a soft, fitted biker short with a 5 inch inseam and a 5 inch high waistband. It lists at $68, and the page showed $39.50 when we checked, though that price may be a sale. It is a comfort-first short for yoga, Pilates and lounging, and it has no pockets. The brand pitches the in-between length as a break from long bikers when you want more mobility or a cooler option on hot days. Beyond Yoga also says it has free shipping and returns in the U.S.

Fit and sizing
Sizes run XXS to XXL, so it reaches beyond XL. Beyond Yoga describes it as a fitted active short with a 5 inch waistband that sits at the natural waist. The 5 inch inseam is pitched as a middle ground between a classic long biker and a very short short. The sale colorway, Vivid Pink Heather, showed as out of stock when we looked. Our shorts finder can help with length.
Fabric and feel
The fabric is Spacedye: 87% polyester and 13% elastane. Beyond Yoga calls it buttery soft with a unique texture, ultra-soft handfeel and 4-way stretch. There is no outseam. Care: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low.
How it performs for yoga and Pilates
The brand wear-tests each style in-house and says the shorts flatter every shape. With no pockets and light-to-medium stretch support, it fits low-impact movement, lounging and layering. It is not built for running. For gym storage needs, look at our best workout shorts for women page.
Price and value
At the $39.50 price we saw, it is a good deal. At the $68 compare-at price, it costs the same as the Girlfriend Collective Bike Short, which has a hidden pocket and wider sizes. Beyond Yoga says shipping and returns are free in the U.S.
Alternatives
For a buttery feel with more brand polish, see the Lululemon Align Short 6". For a firmer bike short, the Alo Airbrush Biker.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want pockets, strong compression or a short for runs. Also skip it if the sale colorway is the only reason you are buying, since it showed as sold out when we looked, and compare-at pricing can change quickly.

The verdict
A very soft 5 inch bike short for yoga, Pilates and lounging. It has no pockets and is gentler than true compression, but at the $39.50 sale price it is a good-value comfort pick. At $68 it faces stronger rivals.
