![]() ![]() While we love a good pair of hiking pants, a pair of leggings might be preferable if you know you'll want greater freedom of movement (say, if you have to bend and high-step through rocky terrain). Only the best hiking leggings-ones that feature the versatility and stretchiness we associate with regular workout leggings, as well as the abrasion resistance we expect from outdoor gear-will get us through our outdoor adventures without snagging or chafing. ![]() Good quality, high waist and big pockets!īy The Traveling Glamper on 13 January 2021For an activity that’s supposed to be soothing and get us closer to nature, hiking comes with its share of bumps, scrapes, and stumbles. A good solid buy that I'm pleased with for the price. If I order any more (which I probably will do) I'll go for a size L next time. So in summary, compared to a few other brands, these are pretty good for the price and provide me with everything I wanted - high waist, funky pattern/colour, they stay up when running, long length (I'm 5.6" and the XL are really long) and big pockets. The print on these leggings remains, however, even when pulled tight. I recently returned a pair of more expensive Reebok running leggings because as soon as I put them on, the pattern almost disappeared and the white underneath became visible, making them look much whiter and washed out. These however are good, and although mine are a bit big, so aren't really massively stretched anywhere, when I pull the fabric tight, the print and colour all still look good. My partner recently bought 2 different pairs of ASOS brand running leggings and the quality is awful - they are totally see-through! The fabric feels quite thin and light on, so don't expect any kind of compression or heaps of warmth from them, but that said, the fabric is decent enough quality to ensure they aren't see-through. I have a very large phone and the phone fits all the way inside these! ![]() The waist is nice and high but the thing I really like is how large the pockets are and there are two of them! A lot of running legging pockets are very short and leave your phone poking out of the top. They fit, but they are pretty big, so I kinda wish I'd chosen L, but as they are stretchy, it's all good so I'm keeping them. I'm a large/curvy 14 so to be on the safe side I ordered XL. I expect to be sending the rest of my class the way of Sugar Pocket very soon □□ I will certainly be back for more funky designs. The waist is good and high so no butt crack reveals! and the 2 pockets are a great addition, finally somewhere to stuff my tissue never mind a phone (which does fit incidentally)As illustrated you can see the fabric is printed (green inside) so not sure how they'll wash yet, I don't foresee any issues on a cool wash. They're really stretchy 12% Lycra but hug beautifully, the stitching is flat so doesn't rub. I was worried that maybe if they were Oriental sizing they'd come up small so I purchased size L as I'm a 40" hip they come neatly down to my ankle abt. I'm 5' 6" with a 30" inside leg and usually take a 12 depending on brand. I've added pics to try and help others who aren't sure like I was. Saw these, loved the pattern and thought, free returns.why not?First impression getting them out of the packet, wow they're heavy. I've been searching for an inexpensive but decent pair of new Yoga pants for ages now (My Tesco ones are getting a bit thin!) I wanted something funky rather than boring black, but I'm a pretty reluctant about buying clothes online incase the're a rubbish fit. ![]() Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2018 ![]()
