Sweaty Betty

Hi all, has anyone got leggings from sweaty Betty? If so are they worth all that money? I usually get stuff from sports direct but am thinking of treating myself to a nice bit of kit which is of good quality. I've had tops there in the sale but never went for the bottoms. Yay or nay? Thanks!

I have quite a few pairs and they're brill. Totally opaque and don't deteriorate after washing. Recommended.

weetabix07 · 20/02/2018 19:06

Thank you. Would you say they fit true to size?

I'm having a bit of a posting orgy tonight - I have really really really puffy under eyes. It's bad. I feel like a bloodhound. I do need to sleep (long term problem) but is there any decent products anyone could recommend? It's very scary!! Help!

Sweaty Betty clothing is worth every penny. I have a few items and they have been washed countless times without showing any signs of wear & tear.

maggiso · 20/02/2018 19:15

I bought a black mostly cotton pair in the sale ( a year back-) and they are very good - except they have faded somewhat ( I guess they have been washed 50+ times). I am very short so being able to buy different lengths was the reason I tried them. Size wise - OK - neither under or oversized- but I have not much experience to go on!

weetabix07 · 20/02/2018 19:24

I'll have a look in the shop tomorrow and try some on to see how they are. Thank you again.

I love Sweaty Betty and have quite a few pieces. Their sales are quite good too. I am a size 12 and the medium leggings are a good fit on me. They tend to do 2 leg lengths and I am quite tall so go for the regular leg which is perfect.

I wouldnt say all of them are opaque. Some of them most definitely arent.

The zero gravity leggings are fabulous.

I would never pay full price. I got my zero gravitys reduced from £95 to £37 in the January sale.

I like their bottoms and have three or four pairs and mine are all opaqu in varying styles. They last forever.
However I am not a fan of the tops so much, the vests I've had have frayed at the straps etc and don't last as long. I wouldn't recommend them.

Ofthread · 20/02/2018 23:20

They are great BUT the reversible ones are too thick for ashtanga etc or in summer for anything at all really. They will seemingly go on for ever though, which is a pretty good thing especially considering waste etc.

I think Sweaty Betty is well worth the money, they are much better than Lululemon. They look new for ages.

My favourites are the Power leggings for all around gym/cardio type exercise. Zero Gravity leggings are great but mine have been fragile - I got a small knee hole in mine after a few weeks from kneeling on the mats to stretch.

Yes I have a few pairs of SB leggings and they get heavy wear. They last and last. I’m only just about to retire my oldest pair and they are at least three years old. I’m their sports bras are also excellent. I do think their vest tops are overpriced though.

Gap fitness leggings are very good.

I love SB - was lucky enough to get a lot of their stuff free in the past. Now I buy in the sale only. If you can hold on they have about four a year. Never buy them full price, good but not that good.

trixymalixy · 21/02/2018 16:02

I absolutely love the zero gravity leggings. I tend to buy them off ebay BNWT or in the sales though as I can't justify the £90 price tag.

weetabix07 · 21/02/2018 19:27

Got a pair. You lot are right - I LOVE them. Thank you 👍🏻

FreeNiki · 21/02/2018 19:34

Ooh which ones?

PickleSarnie · 21/02/2018 19:36

Zero Gravity leggings are awesome. Although I've found the sizing seems to have got a bit bigger. My last pair are mediums my older ones are large. I'm definitely a size 14 not a 12.

They do brilliant sales. I've got my eye on the Union Jack ones when the next have one.
