Gym leggings that aren't see through?

I've realised how see through my current gym leggings are and so I'm in need of some new ones. I've been looking at asos and next but a lot of the reviews comment on how see through they are, even the branded ones that are really expensive. Any recommendations?

Disclaimer - even in freezing conditions when running I get very warm, very quickly so favour a few thin layers I can take off. Hence why I don't tend to go for a more technical top.

I could be easily convinced to look though Grin

I wear Lucy Locket Loves.
They are about £30 for a pair but are amazing quality and come in the funkiest patterns!

I swear by Tikiboo and Sturdy by design. I used to get Lucy Locket Loves, but went off the owner of the brand (plus her other products are generally crap) so refuse to look there now.

For tops I wear tops I get from races (10Ks, half marathons etc) or vest tops if I'm doing something really high intensity in the gym.

I buy mine from Matalan

Decathlon for good value basics.
Tikiboo for something fancy.

I bought a pair of Lucy Lockets last year and as lovely as the print is, they stretch pale over the wider parts of my curves like my calves. I know I'd gained slightly at that point, but they do generally fit and my waist wouldn't fit a larger size. Disappointing.

Watch out for Fabletics as it's a subscription that needs regular checking. Not a simple option for a one-off purchase. I swerve for that reason.

@MogHog

Matalan leggings are great quality non of mine are see through. My RBX ones from tks are great too. I do love my rainbow and sprinkles ones though
I've got the cat ones too. Plus seagulls, pink dino and teal fox. Got some of the kids dungarees for my daughter as well

@Mayvis

Budget: Decathlon Tesco Matalan

More pricey:
Tikiboo
LAP activewear (deals to be had though)
Nike

Lucy Locket used to have good reviews but quality has dropped drastically and customer service is poor. Not the same as they used to be.

That’s a shame about LLL, i haven’t bought any for a while so i must have missed that. :(

I got a pair of Lucy Lockets and they went straight to charity shop, didn't work for me at all.

What’s the sizing like on the SB power leggings? Trying to decide between a L and XL - I’m a size 14-16
