The 10 Best Workout Shorts That'll Make You Reconsider Leggings For Good

Athleta Trekkie North Short ($50-$59, originally $59)

If you burn easily but still need a pair of athletic shorts to keep you cool during outdoor activities, look for a pair with built-in sun protection. These shorts are made from recycled nylon and have UPF 50+ sun protection. They have zippered pockets to keep valuables in check. They're quick drying and machine washable, so you can easily wash them in a hotel room and lay them out to dry — a suitcase staple if you like to hit the gym when you travel.
