Leggings that don't show your underwear?

I go climbing/bouldering in my lunch breaks and need some leggings I can wear and also climb in (need to be semi smart for work and can't be bothered to get changed). Can anyone recommend some good super thick leggings that won't show my underwear half way up the wall? I've looked at smart gym clothes but really super expensive. Thanks!

I would recommend Gap Blackout www.gap.co.uk/gap/gapfit/clothing/leggings-and-capris/blackout/?parentCategory=1062062 They usually have an offer on, so you should be able to pick up some reduced.

What about running leggings? I bought mine in Primark, not very expensive, very comfortable and I could wear them all day with a suitable top.

Or primark 'cosy' range leggings. They wear and wash really well and stay thick black after many many washes. They aren't excessively fleecy/woolly despite the 'cosy' label though

Try TK Maxx too. At this time of year they will probably be doing an activewear promotion and they often have premium yoga wear which would suit

H&M have extra thick tights

Sitting here in Primark black leggings I ve had for a year (the thicker ones). Still keeping their shape, definitely not see through.
I binned my Sainsbury's more expensive ones, they started sagging at the knees and definitely show white underwear!

Hollywood pants - £9.99 for 3 pairs. I've worn mine to death this winter. Nice and warm cos they are fleecy on the inside.

Ooops, from JML

Tikiboo! Especially if you are afraid of colour. They are squat proof so don’t show underwear. I went climbing for the first time last week and my husband took lots of photos - of my butt from the ground - and although you can definitely miss my massive bum, you can’t see through the leggings!

Zara, or just layer up two pairs of cheap ones 😊

Next ponte leggings are very thick and non see through I wear them for work. If you search ponte on the website they should come up.
