Also best part about this video, the comment section! Of course these are my own experiences, leave your own thoughts of each legging you’ve tried & read other peoples thoughts 🩵
I'd be curious to see what you think about the Athleta performance leggings. I've had mine for 5+ years and they are still holding up well, no rips, no pills, fit me well (not meant for curvy people, but athletic body styles). I've never tried their yoga style leggings.
I understand workout outfits are kind of fashion statement but don’t believe leggings should cost over $100 no matter how comfortable or whatever reasons. I do cardio kickboxing, HIT, Pilates, running and I wear $13 Yogalicious leggings I find at TJ Maxx and they are lasting for 7 years.
Companies like Lululemon make mad profit margins on these clothes. I have a friend who works for Lululemon coporate and she gets 75% (!!!) employee discount!! that just goes to show these leggings probably only cost 5-10% of the price...
Honestly I'm pushing 4 years on one and pushed it into retirement cos of size and style. A lot of those tjmaxx leggings will keep you sorted for $20 or less and last for years. I don't do yoga or Pilates but I do running and weightlifting and ive had no issues.
as a lululemon girly - i don’t see people talk often about lululemon like new - but they have their own resale site where you can buy used stuff and it’s SO cheap and the stuff ive gotten literally looks brand new. i’ve gotten so much from them - i recently got two pairs of the groove nulu flare leggings for less than one pair costs normally! you can even sign up for an alert for the product/color you want in your size and it’ll alert you when it’s in stock. absolute best way to get lulu cheap !!
This was sooo thorough. Not only did you test and rate them all, but you grouped them for recommendations based on use. I love that, this was sooo helpful.
PLEASEEE do the OFFLINE by Aerie High Waisted Crossover Leggings!! I have 8 pairs in black and it is the only kind I wear! I wear them hiking, pilates, weight lifting, lounging, etc and they're so comfy. Also I think snatch your waist better than any other type of leggings which of course is motivating to go workout since you look cute while doing it!!! I recommend them to everyone although they definitely could be more durable now that I'm watching this video. I love your strong fun free girly vibes 🩷🩷
Yeah part 2 would be great. I will say I’m a budget girl and Old Navy have never done me wrong. Ive had the several pairs for years and still good to go. (Weightlifting)
Personally, the only Born Primitive legging I would even consider recommending is the Eccentric. In general, I've found their quality has gone downhill a lot in that couple of years. My older stuff is much better than the stuff they sell now. The only thing I buy from them anymore is their shoes. If you want a veteran-owned, cottage type brand in the US, I recommend Wild South over BP.
20:44 love that disclaimer 😅😅 so true, I did not feel pressure to buy from you but after watching a 25 minute video about leggings from brands that don't even exist in my country I feel like I need a new pair haha. It was good timing to put that disclaimer and advice almost at the end of the video. 😁 Thanks!
@@hiurmaglez3838 yeah one of my favourite fitness influencers Hailey Madigan is sponsored by Oner active all the time and MDJ fitness was before gym shark nabbed her lol so I see it all the time. I might give it a go on Black Friday
I had problems with both fit and quality with ONER. I am not the typical shape she seems to design for. The stuff I've gotten hasn't held up well in the laundry.
I HOPE this includes Old Navy LOL! Hands down the most durable, flattering (especially in the belly area LOL), squat proof, size/height inclusive and long lasting leggings I've ever owned! And they ALWAYS make sure they have different types of matching bras and tops, which are EXTREMELY supportive. I usually wait until they go on sale, but even when not, they are still worth it compared to some of these luxury athletic brands. OLD NAVY for the win hahaha
Totally agree! I recently tried on my first pair of lululemon leggings at their store, I was not impressed. I was wearing a pair of old navy leggings that day so had a direct comparison….the lulus were more restrictive and didn’t make my legs or butt look any different than the old navy ones. So yeah, lulu is too hyped up imo.
I have to disagree , Lulu/gymshark/north face have to win over these for me. However, for non-athletic leggings they are way better than Victoria secret.
Uh my issue is that for a person with more belly and BF maaaany leggings roll down in my waist. When I go size up then I have too much fabric on my tights and under knees. So yes, I'm also grateful for your test, many important information here! But I have a strong feeling that on your body all leggings will look amazing 😊❤
Plus size runner here! I live in popflex because they’re crisscrossed waistband. They go SO HIGH that even when they fold over it doesn’t feel like it’s falling down
Lululemon Fast and Free leggings, crops and shorts are by far the best running and cardio tights that can also be worn all day. They deserve massive credit. I am a long time serious runner and endurance athlete and I live in all of the fast and free series of bottoms and they are the most comfortable to wear at work, great to have a pocket to carry your phone around the workplace without hand holding it. I enjoyed the video and I watch everything you post, totally surprised you did not give these any love.
Mine have lasted for 5+ years! Their softer yoga type stuff has pilled a bit over time, but they've got heavier running fabrics too. Fairly squat proof on a curvy booty. I prefer them marginally over my lulus
the gymshark black vital seamless 2.0 leggings are my ride or die. literally all I wear.. so glad to hear they were one of the best, most cost effective options! I wear for any kind of exercise- hiking, running, weight lifting- and they're perfect. Medium compression and contouring so not the kind of leggings I would want to lounge around in. I recommend washing in a mesh laundry bag and letting air dry or the seams will get that pilly/furry thing!! otherwise they will last for years and years
I bought my first pair of lululemon leggings (wunder under) in 2014 when I started running track in middle school and I think they we $98 back then and I STILL have them 10 years later
I SO appreciate the work you put in this video and agree with you on all of the takes (of the leggings I’ve owned). I’m also glad you shared joy in the expanded size ranges of some of these companies. I’m like you - championing these smaller companies that commit to it, it’s such a strange and ironic thing when some companies don’t want to offer large sizes in workout wear.
As a person who loves "Ath-le-ta" brand, I would expect you to try Athleta Elation leggings. They are durable and very nice looking with several color options. Oh they also make amazing athleisure stuff.
Keltie!! Love love your videos & wondering if you would ever consider making a workflow video as a creator?? How do you stay on track and plan film and edit your videos? youve always been soo inspiring to me so i wanna throw this out there!
I love PopFlex, but they’re my lounging leggings and I absolutely love their hiking skorts which i wear walking my dogs because a short “skirt” with pockets!!! 😂 I hit my 100 days of rowing, going for 150 now. 🎉
Omg I’d love a part 2!! I tend to go for cheap but I’m thinking of investing in a few good pairs so this was super helpful! And I’d love to see you try the Crop Shop Boutique ones! They’re an Australian brand and they have diff fabrics for diff types of exercises
Would 100% recommend New Dimensions, an Irish brand. I have three pairs of the Compression 3.0 in different colours. I have had the first pair for over three years now, washed mannnyyy times and still as good as new. I wear them for running, yoga, gym and chilling!
Thank you for this amazing video & deep dive on the best legging for the right person’s needs! I appreciate that! Anyways, definitely a Gymshark & Buffbunny girlie here. Wasn’t a fan of Alphalete due to my weight sits more around my midsection & inner thighs lol also! I’ve had my first pair of Gymshark vitals from 2018 & they are still holding up, but I agree that they do wear out over time. Definitely worth the money! Same with Buffbunny. More luxe version!
My favourite leggings: some random brand I picked up for 20EUR in a sports shop in Germany. They had a drawstring (vital for me with my belly, leggings without drawstrings never stay up), and pockets, and I wore them for everything. Running, gym, pilates, everything. After 15 years they were basically see-through and pilled into the next dimension, so I had to get rid of them, but I loved them so much. They were perfect. Nothing's ever fit so well since.
This was the best video (selfishly you're also my favorite creator)- In my honest opinion, I will say I have the alo airlift leggings and I am on the curvier side (between size 4-6, 5'2) and they were the worst leggings for running, they constantly rolled down and I felt that I had to hike them up every few seconds, but that may be due to my body shape! I would love to see what your thoughts are on the ON running leggings and New Balance leggings too ❤
As someone who does mostly yoga and walking, I have a few pairs from Target that have lasted years. Super soft and comfy. You should squat test them first but if they pass, they're good, especially for the low price.
Thank you, I feel this has been very informative! I would love to see Adanola ultimate leggings included in part 2, it is very popular here in the UK. 💚
This is the first video of yours I've seen and it was SUPER helpful! I love how much info you packed in and that you actually worked out in all of them. A few things if you do another video like this: if you could please get light/bright colored leggings when you're buying new, that would be helpful to help me as a viewer distinguish what they look like (hard to tell with black). And if you could show a 360 of them on in bright lighting, super helpful as well. (You kinda already did that though!) I don't like leggings with a front seam so I like to be able to see if they have that. THANK YOU for talking about the lengths available. As a tall girly (5'11) I'll usually only shop if a place has at minimum 28" inseams available. Very through, much appreciated!
I am an activewear enthusiast and I’d say Alo does not live up to the hype. I think they are better for their lounge wear. I loved this video, and would be interested in a part 2 for popular Amazon brands like CRZ Yoga, Aoxjox, Aurola, Sunzel, etc. But also you prob don’t need to buy 4-10 more leggings so no rush!
This was fantastic! I love that you aren't providing links in the description to make it super duper easy to buy what we may not really, truly need. Also, it's interesting to see how my favorite leggings compare to others and how you think they place in the yoga to cross fit, practical to cute matrix. I'd love to see you review Vitality, Ptula, Isla Movement, and Senita Athletics! Vitality used to be called Balance Athletica and I've been intrigued and curious about them, but they're a bit more expensive. Similar story with Ptula. Isla Movement is based in Los Angeles and sells out somewhat quickly, but it's all made in America and seems interesting too. Senita Athletics is based in Arizona and is a smaller business. I love their Vinyasa crop tops, Weekend Joggers, and some of their more lifestyle/athleisure pieces. I'd love to see another video in this series!
As a size 12-14 with chonky thighs, all the lorna jane leggings I've tried pill and eventually rip and get holes in the inner thigh from my legs rubbing together, and I found myself getting chafing too 😩
Love this video ❤😊 a lot of great info. Love your chart and after how which ones fits for what activities u do. Awesome ❤ u have more advice to give than the sales person in the store!! Knowledge goes along way
I feel like you did Athleta dirty in this video. My all time favorite pair of leggings are from there and they are 4 years old, looking good as new. I rock climb, run, weight lift, yoga and really everything in them. Don't get me wrong, they have some low quality lounge around the house ones, but they also have really durable ones to market to a range of people. They are also a Certified B Corp
I bought a bunch of Fabletics about 5 years ago and they are still my favorite. My friend convinced me to buy them when a German Shepherd bit her while she was on her run, and she didn’t even know she had a full on dog bite until she got home because the pants were still perfect. Her skin was torn up though, not to mention the intense bruising.
Great job, I’ve tried a lot of these lines, not all, and would say you nailed it with the ones Ive tried across the board. Very informative and helpful for those who don’t want to spend the cash to find the right ones. My absolute faves are the Wunder Train Contour (for my girlies who struggle with the waist to butt ratio) from Lululemon and I use them for everything! The Amazon ones are a great dupe but they are so shear if you step into direct sunlight you can see almost everything haha. I want to try the Alphalete for that extra booty contour. I find Old Navy is great for tops like their Define Jacket dupe but the bottoms show every little imperfection. Thanks Keltie!
i love you keltie. you have change my life and perspective on health so much. i have and still am CONSTANTLY struggling with body dysmorphia, ED, body image, etc. I'm still young and still learning but you have given me so much insight. Thank you.
Unpopular opinion I think, but my favorite leggings are Carhartt leggings. They are RIDICULOUSLY durable! I lift in them, I run in them, and I wear them as my day to day pants. The only thing I dislike them for, is wearing them undeneath my gi when I do jiu jitsu, they are HORRIBLE for that. They also feel so much less exposed than any other leggings I've ever tried, and while they seem so far from popular that they're almost a secret, they quickly also became the favorite of the only other girl I know to have tried them too! 🤷♀️
3 reasons I don’t buy leggings w/o pockets: phone, keys, headphones. I don’t want to spend $100+ on leggings and then also need a gym bag and lock for a locker. I want to walk in, work out, and leave. That said, my 2 favorite leggings came from a thrift store, and sis cut the tag out, so I have no idea where they came from 😭 ETA: I think I found them! JCPenny Xersion. Cute print and side pockets, squat-proof, stay up, slight compression, minimal pilling, low cost.
such a shame the old navy ones never made it. i had the powersculpt leggings that is now discontinued and it was THEE best legging i had ever gotten, and on sale for $20. it was more compression while the powersoft is more naked, but i had to give it away since i lost weight and needed to size down, but by then, i couldn’t repurchase 😭 would LOVE to see a part two of this with AYBL and youngLA (since they’re a cousin to gymshark)
I have been waiting to watch this as I was on holiday when it came out but thank you so much for this!! It’s so useful, relatable and informative! Please please do a part 2 and include Tala :) I’ve wanted to buy a pair for months but can’t justify the pricing but have loved Grace B for years!! 🫠 thank you so much for this content and all content ❤️
I admit I wear my aligns for everything. Also Crz yoga butterluxe, so soft and probably more for low impact but I also wear them for everything and 30-45$ canadian.
TY! This was so helpful! I've never owned Lululemon leggings cause of their prices but have always been curious. I'd suggest Fabletics for your round 2! Their pureluxe or powerhold ones. The pureluxe ones are so buttery, good for yoga
This was a great video!!! So helpful! I'm willing to drop some good money on good leggings but it's so hard to know if it'll be worth it. This was so helpful!! And I loooove Girlfriend Collective so I'm thrilled that you included that brand.
My alltime favorites are swedish Aim'n sportswear, I've owned pairs since they first launched that I only threw out because the old ones was out of style crazy patterns, but their ribbed collection is just gold and I wear them 4-6 times a week and have owned them for years and used them for both weightlifting and pilates. When I feel a little cheeky I go for Linn Löwes Stacci leggins and shorts
I have the Nike Go wordspaghetti leggings. You didn't mention the 3 pockets on the back! There are 3 open top-loading pockets on the back waistband, think like on a cycling jersey. They're great for my gels and asthma inhaler when running. I have the full length and 5" version for summer running. The drawstring is absolutely necessary for the high hip:waist ratio girlies, I tighten that right up
Thanks Keltie! I just ordered some LMNT. I sweat profusely and with the heat, I’ve experienced heat exhaustion 2x this summer so I’ve been a bit scared to do my long runs and have to start in the early morning. Hopefully these will work. Luv your vids! Thx!!!
I am someone who has lost around 140 pounds, tons of extra skin, and massively on a budget, I have been wearing the same pairs of old navy leggings for almost 5 years. Lost my first pair last year and my skin doesn't go crazy when i run
Just wanted to add how wonderful wundertrains are for rock climbing, I've *never* had leggings hold up so well. Usually leggings get a hole in one or two sessions, my wundertrains last years and it's amazing
I've just started going back to gymnastics classes since I was a teenager (I'm now 38), so this video is so timely! I think for tumbling/floor you need something in the middle, but if you're doing more apparatus work, especially with chalk, then the really durable leggings win out. Pleased to have discovered girlfriend collective through your video too!
Part 2 would be amazing! I actually would love to see you comment on Prozis and maybe Myprotein leggings (I'm just not sure they sell outside the EU). Amazing video as always!
I'm almost always on a budget but the one thing I splurge on occasionally is Constantly Varied Gear (CVG). My oldest pair are coming up on 2 years old. I love that they mix some crazy prints, some not as crazy, but also solid colors. They have different cuts, offer capri and full length, 3 different inseams for short, super cute skirts that make me feel like my best self (and I am NOT a skirt girlie and haven't been for the last 40 years). Another thing I found was their Limitless dress. Holy damn, that thing is comfy. Like I wear it to bed sometimes level of comfy. My fav pair right now are the Omni Black. I haven't worked out in them but have snuck them to work a couple times. Also, size range is decent. I wear a US women's size 20 and buy the XL. They have some compression but not restrictive unless you size down. I pretty much live in these on the weekends.
you must try oner active effortless seamless leggings🤩 I love them both for strength training and running outside doesn't slip down and is very flattering on and is soft and stretchy🥰
Pockets are SOOOOOO important!!!!! I've stopped buying leggings without pockets 😅 however, I've noticed that quite a few brands only put one pocket which I find impractical... I'm a runner and I usually only take my phone and keys with me, which I like to keep separate so my phone doesn't get scratched...
What!!?? Hard core Athleta fan here and I've never had a pair of leggings rip or pill on me and I've tried a lot of their lines and have thick thighs that rub. They never fall or roll and I have a belly. Athleta is amazing I absolutely love their powervita fabric that the elation and saltation are made of. Their transcend are super soft and don't stay up and I do have to size down but as plus size I love that because bigger girls have options
yes! I was confused by this too. and the pronunciation? for a second I wasn't even sure she was talking about Athleta. but as someone who has run multiple distance races in salutation leggings and shorts and they still are in top condition, I was confused by that review. in fact I even have a pair of transcends that don't feel as durable but so far they have been holding up just fine.
I’m surprised you didn’t try fabletics, I’ve been purchasing and subscribed to them for about 7 years. They have such a versatile line, always have new styles and sales, and I’ve had some leggings that have lasted me 5+ years. I run, gym, hike and do yoga (:
Also best part about this video, the comment section! Of course these are my own experiences, leave your own thoughts of each legging you’ve tried & read other peoples thoughts 🩵
@@KeltieOConnor what is YOUS fav pant currently. Does YOUS pant have lycra? Do YOUS enjoy a silk-like feel?

I know Nike used to be the goat for athletic wear! But, nowadays their quality is slipping hard!
I understand workout outfits are kind of fashion statement but don’t believe leggings should cost over $100 no matter how comfortable or whatever reasons.

I just bought a 2 pack of yogalicious biker shorts from Marshalls & literally went back the next day to get another 2 pack because they’re amazing!!!!

Vuori feel sooooo soft but haven’t bought any. Just have to touch them when I pass them at the stores. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!

I love these as well! I wear a pair of these leggings at least three times a week!
I love those leggings but they pill and collect dog hair really easily
If you don’t get black though they show sweat so bad and the dreaded camel toe
Me toooo!!! They are the BEST
This just shows personal preference because i don’t like these 😭 they’re soooo thin and overly stretchy so they’re loose feeling
Yeah part 2 would be great. I will say I’m a budget girl and Old Navy have never done me wrong. Ive had the several pairs for years and still good to go. (Weightlifting)
I need to get my hands on a pair!!
Definitely need a part 2 with cheaper brands 😅
Old Navy is my goat athletic brand
Would love to see a part two! Do CRZYOGA, Born Primitive and No Bull!
Your wish is my command!!
@@glowatyourownpace you own her outright now it seems.

I loved this video! I’d love to see CRZ YOGA be featured in the next one, it’s an Amazon brand.
Please do a part two!!! I've been curious about Vitality and Cleo Harper:)
Yesss for part 2!! I am curious to see any Bombshell leggings too! 😊

Amazing video! Thank you for helping us rank them! If you do a part two, do you mind including adidas and fabletics? Thank you ❤❤
I have many paires of align and some for over 3 years and I can say that they hold up well in time . I love running in them. 100% would recommend.
Lol it's pronounced Ath-le-ta 😂 This was a helpful video!
Right!?! I’ve literally never heard ANYONE pronounce Athleta the way she did 🤦🏻♀️
Haha I was genuinely soo confused during that part
As a dislexic person i relate 😅😅😅 It was fun to hear

Love to see Old Navy, Uniqlo, and Balance Collection (a Marshall’s brand technically).
I love PopFlex, but they’re my lounging leggings and I absolutely love their hiking skorts which i wear walking my dogs because a short “skirt” with pockets!!! 😂 I hit my 100 days of rowing, going for 150 now. 🎉
Omg I’d love a part 2!! I tend to go for cheap but I’m thinking of investing in a few good pairs so this was super helpful! And I’d love to see you try the Crop Shop Boutique ones! They’re an Australian brand and they have diff fabrics for diff types of exercises
Would 100% recommend New Dimensions, an Irish brand. I have three pairs of the Compression 3.0 in different colours. I have had the first pair for over three years now, washed mannnyyy times and still as good as new. I wear them for running, yoga, gym and chilling!
Love your note about how this is just info, not pressure to go buy more leggings. We all know it but it does help to hear it
Quality content as usual ❤ - got my first pair of Lulu aligns this year and never went back
So happy you love them!!
Thank you for this amazing video & deep dive on the best legging for the right person’s needs! I appreciate that! Anyways, definitely a Gymshark & Buffbunny girlie here. Wasn’t a fan of Alphalete due to my weight sits more around my midsection & inner thighs lol also! I’ve had my first pair of Gymshark vitals from 2018 & they are still holding up, but I agree that they do wear out over time. Definitely worth the money! Same with Buffbunny. More luxe version!
Costco leggings for me! Also Popflex is great too. I got the more compression ones though.
My favourite leggings: some random brand I picked up for 20EUR in a sports shop in Germany. They had a drawstring (vital for me with my belly, leggings without drawstrings never stay up), and pockets, and I wore them for everything. Running, gym, pilates, everything. After 15 years they were basically see-through and pilled into the next dimension, so I had to get rid of them, but I loved them so much. They were perfect. Nothing's ever fit so well since.
This was the best video (selfishly you're also my favorite creator)- In my honest opinion, I will say I have the alo airlift leggings and I am on the curvier side (between size 4-6, 5'2) and they were the worst leggings for running, they constantly rolled down and I felt that I had to hike them up every few seconds, but that may be due to my body shape! I would love to see what your thoughts are on the ON running leggings and New Balance leggings too ❤
Love this- so helpful!!! Would love to see another with paragon, vitality and ptula. Or maybe one specifically from "Instagram" favorites/ads lol
As someone who does mostly yoga and walking, I have a few pairs from Target that have lasted years. Super soft and comfy. You should squat test them first but if they pass, they're good, especially for the low price.
This is such a good breakdown - I'm here for the results of which leggings won't FALL DOWN! Why is there so much material??
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you, I feel this has been very informative!
I would love to see Adanola ultimate leggings included in part 2, it is very popular here in the UK.
💚
This is the first video of yours I've seen and it was SUPER helpful! I love how much info you packed in and that you actually worked out in all of them. A few things if you do another video like this: if you could please get light/bright colored leggings when you're buying new, that would be helpful to help me as a viewer distinguish what they look like (hard to tell with black). And if you could show a 360 of them on in bright lighting, super helpful as well. (You kinda already did that though!) I don't like leggings with a front seam so I like to be able to see if they have that. THANK YOU for talking about the lengths available. As a tall girly (5'11) I'll usually only shop if a place has at minimum 28" inseams available. Very through, much appreciated!
I have so much respect for you doing this but at the same time not promoting consumerism. You go girl! ❤️❤️
Please include crz yoga next! They are so famous on Amazon, love the vid!
I am an activewear enthusiast and I’d say Alo does not live up to the hype. I think they are better for their lounge wear. I loved this video, and would be interested in a part 2 for popular Amazon brands like CRZ Yoga, Aoxjox, Aurola, Sunzel, etc. But also you prob don’t need to buy 4-10 more leggings so no rush!
I love this, could you do a part 2 with cheaper/more affordable leggings please ?🫶🏻
loved this would love a part 2 with the old navy as well as under armour!
Jesus I forgot how much I love your videos, thanks for being you keltie!! you rock!
Thanks keltie for the vid! I needed to find some new leggings, have a great day everyone!
Hope you have a great day too!!
What a great video! I thought, there's no way I'm going to watch this, and now I'm at the end, lol! I'm heading to shop today!
This was fantastic! I love that you aren't providing links in the description to make it super duper easy to buy what we may not really, truly need. Also, it's interesting to see how my favorite leggings compare to others and how you think they place in the yoga to cross fit, practical to cute matrix.
I'd love to see you review Vitality, Ptula, Isla Movement, and Senita Athletics! Vitality used to be called Balance Athletica and I've been intrigued and curious about them, but they're a bit more expensive. Similar story with Ptula. Isla Movement is based in Los Angeles and sells out somewhat quickly, but it's all made in America and seems interesting too. Senita Athletics is based in Arizona and is a smaller business. I love their Vinyasa crop tops, Weekend Joggers, and some of their more lifestyle/athleisure pieces. I'd love to see another video in this series!
Lorna Jane! It’s massive in Australia. Lotus are their standard butter soft yoga leggings, Amy Tech are their compression weight lifting.
As a size 12-14 with chonky thighs, all the lorna jane leggings I've tried pill and eventually rip and get holes in the inner thigh from my legs rubbing together, and I found myself getting chafing too 😩
@ I’m slightly bigger and I work out everyday in the Amy tech. No piling!
i love my BuffBunny leggings for gymming & Lulu Base Pace for running (even though i hate that front seam)
Needed this. Thanks Keltie 👏🏽
Love all your videos Keltie, so entertaining!! Also maybe t/ala leggings to include in a part 2? ♥️
Love this video ❤😊 a lot of great info. Love your chart and after how which ones fits for what activities u do. Awesome ❤ u have more advice to give than the sales person in the store!! Knowledge goes along way
I feel like you did Athleta dirty in this video. My all time favorite pair of leggings are from there and they are 4 years old, looking good as new. I rock climb, run, weight lift, yoga and really everything in them. Don't get me wrong, they have some low quality lounge around the house ones, but they also have really durable ones to market to a range of people. They are also a Certified B Corp
Would love your thoughts on Fabletics! Thanks for the video!
Next time yes!!
I bought a bunch of Fabletics about 5 years ago and they are still my favorite. My friend convinced me to buy them when a German Shepherd bit her while she was on her run, and she didn’t even know she had a full on dog bite until she got home because the pants were still perfect. Her skin was torn up though, not to mention the intense bruising.
Love mine!!
Great job, I’ve tried a lot of these lines, not all, and would say you nailed it with the ones Ive tried across the board. Very informative and helpful for those who don’t want to spend the cash to find the right ones. My absolute faves are the Wunder Train Contour (for my girlies who struggle with the waist to butt ratio) from Lululemon and I use them for everything! The Amazon ones are a great dupe but they are so shear if you step into direct sunlight you can see almost everything haha. I want to try the Alphalete for that extra booty contour. I find Old Navy is great for tops like their Define Jacket dupe but the bottoms show every little imperfection. Thanks Keltie!
This was exactly what I needed with legging seasons coming up. Love it! 🤝🏻🙌🏻 Thanks!!
i love you keltie. you have change my life and perspective on health so much. i have and still am CONSTANTLY struggling with body dysmorphia, ED, body image, etc. I'm still young and still learning but you have given me so much insight. Thank you.
Unpopular opinion I think, but my favorite leggings are Carhartt leggings. They are RIDICULOUSLY durable! I lift in them, I run in them, and I wear them as my day to day pants. The only thing I dislike them for, is wearing them undeneath my gi when I do jiu jitsu, they are HORRIBLE for that.
They also feel so much less exposed than any other leggings I've ever tried, and while they seem so far from popular that they're almost a secret, they quickly also became the favorite of the only other girl I know to have tried them too! 🤷♀️
3 reasons I don’t buy leggings w/o pockets: phone, keys, headphones. I don’t want to spend $100+ on leggings and then also need a gym bag and lock for a locker. I want to walk in, work out, and leave.
That said, my 2 favorite leggings came from a thrift store, and sis cut the tag out, so I have no idea where they came from 😭
ETA: I think I found them! JCPenny Xersion. Cute print and side pockets, squat-proof, stay up, slight compression, minimal pilling, low cost.
such a shame the old navy ones never made it. i had the powersculpt leggings that is now discontinued and it was THEE best legging i had ever gotten, and on sale for $20. it was more compression while the powersoft is more naked, but i had to give it away since i lost weight and needed to size down, but by then, i couldn’t repurchase 😭
would LOVE to see a part two of this with AYBL and youngLA (since they’re a cousin to gymshark)
I know!!! I still have a pair of those😢
@@kaceynm jealous, i have yet to find another legging THAT good for so cheap
I only run in the Nike Go Firm. Glad to see these leggings made it in this video!
Keltie you’ve officially sold me on getting some alphalete 😏 please do a part two!! Would love to see echt reviewed
I have been waiting to watch this as I was on holiday when it came out but thank you so much for this!! It’s so useful, relatable and informative! Please please do a part 2 and include Tala :) I’ve wanted to buy a pair for months but can’t justify the pricing but have loved Grace B for years!! 🫠 thank you so much for this content and all content ❤️
I admit I wear my aligns for everything. Also Crz yoga butterluxe, so soft and probably more for low impact but I also wear them for everything and 30-45$ canadian.
If there is ever a part two, I would love to see how the Tala brand holds out!
Love the video and the matrix! Can you please do one for workouts shorts?❤
TY! This was so helpful! I've never owned Lululemon leggings cause of their prices but have always been curious.
I'd suggest Fabletics for your round 2! Their pureluxe or powerhold ones. The pureluxe ones are so buttery, good for yoga
This was a great video!!! So helpful! I'm willing to drop some good money on good leggings but it's so hard to know if it'll be worth it. This was so helpful!! And I loooove Girlfriend Collective so I'm thrilled that you included that brand.
My alltime favorites are swedish Aim'n sportswear, I've owned pairs since they first launched that I only threw out because the old ones was out of style crazy patterns, but their ribbed collection is just gold and I wear them 4-6 times a week and have owned them for years and used them for both weightlifting and pilates. When I feel a little cheeky I go for Linn Löwes Stacci leggins and shorts
would love to see a part 2 🫶🏼 with old navy & nvgn *crosses fingers*
My favourite are CRZ. They are an Align dupe and as with the align, I prefer to size down.
I have the Nike Go wordspaghetti leggings. You didn't mention the 3 pockets on the back! There are 3 open top-loading pockets on the back waistband, think like on a cycling jersey. They're great for my gels and asthma inhaler when running. I have the full length and 5" version for summer running. The drawstring is absolutely necessary for the high hip:waist ratio girlies, I tighten that right up
Thanks Keltie! I just ordered some LMNT. I sweat profusely and with the heat, I’ve experienced heat exhaustion 2x this summer so I’ve been a bit scared to do my long runs and have to start in the early morning. Hopefully these will work. Luv your vids! Thx!!!
I would love a part two, would love to see your review of oner active and aerie
I am someone who has lost around 140 pounds, tons of extra skin, and massively on a budget, I have been wearing the same pairs of old navy leggings for almost 5 years. Lost my first pair last year and my skin doesn't go crazy when i run
Just wanted to add how wonderful wundertrains are for rock climbing, I've *never* had leggings hold up so well. Usually leggings get a hole in one or two sessions, my wundertrains last years and it's amazing
I've just started going back to gymnastics classes since I was a teenager (I'm now 38), so this video is so timely! I think for tumbling/floor you need something in the middle, but if you're doing more apparatus work, especially with chalk, then the really durable leggings win out. Pleased to have discovered girlfriend collective through your video too!
I would love to see you test the vitality cloud legging! And something from Tala - also a sustainable brand!
Part 2 would be amazing! I actually would love to see you comment on Prozis and maybe Myprotein leggings (I'm just not sure they sell outside the EU). Amazing video as always!
I'm almost always on a budget but the one thing I splurge on occasionally is Constantly Varied Gear (CVG). My oldest pair are coming up on 2 years old. I love that they mix some crazy prints, some not as crazy, but also solid colors. They have different cuts, offer capri and full length, 3 different inseams for short, super cute skirts that make me feel like my best self (and I am NOT a skirt girlie and haven't been for the last 40 years). Another thing I found was their Limitless dress. Holy damn, that thing is comfy. Like I wear it to bed sometimes level of comfy. My fav pair right now are the Omni Black. I haven't worked out in them but have snuck them to work a couple times. Also, size range is decent. I wear a US women's size 20 and buy the XL. They have some compression but not restrictive unless you size down. I pretty much live in these on the weekends.
Loved this video please do a part two and possibly include Beyond Yoga and Old Navy (if they come) thanks ❤❤❤
Great video. 🎉
I am curious if you could do a review on CSB in the second video?
Great work and yes, element is amazing
Yes would love to see a review on some Aussie brands too!
you must try oner active effortless seamless leggings🤩 I love them both for strength training and running outside doesn't slip down and is very flattering on and is soft and stretchy🥰
We want a part 2! I’d also love to see a review of Calia leggings.
Pockets are SOOOOOO important!!!!! I've stopped buying leggings without pockets 😅 however, I've noticed that quite a few brands only put one pocket which I find impractical... I'm a runner and I usually only take my phone and keys with me, which I like to keep separate so my phone doesn't get scratched...
Nimble active wear and Aussie brand - loved this one!❤
What!!?? Hard core Athleta fan here and I've never had a pair of leggings rip or pill on me and I've tried a lot of their lines and have thick thighs that rub. They never fall or roll and I have a belly. Athleta is amazing I absolutely love their powervita fabric that the elation and saltation are made of. Their transcend are super soft and don't stay up and I do have to size down but as plus size I love that because bigger girls have options
yes! I was confused by this too. and the pronunciation? for a second I wasn't even sure she was talking about Athleta. but as someone who has run multiple distance races in salutation leggings and shorts and they still are in top condition, I was confused by that review. in fact I even have a pair of transcends that don't feel as durable but so far they have been holding up just fine.
Part 2 would be awesome ❤
Please review FANKA as they look so interesting with the compression print tech on them.
Would like to see you try the aimn sense leggings since you are in sweden from time to time!
I’m late, is there a part 2? This was great! Which is the most breathable?
I’m surprised you didn’t try fabletics, I’ve been purchasing and subscribed to them for about 7 years. They have such a versatile line, always have new styles and sales, and I’ve had some leggings that have lasted me 5+ years. I run, gym, hike and do yoga (:
