Does anyone have any recommendations for sports wear that is sweat wicking, but not super tight or compression? In all this hot weather its like squeezing myself into a sausage skin, not really conducive to a good

What is it you are after? Sports leggings will be tight that's kinda the point. Gym shark sell trackies . You cab get track suit/yoga pants from most supermarkets that sell clothes

@Whatwouldscullydo I suppose I'm after sports leggings or yoga pants that are stretchy and not compression, with a lot of movement, that are still comfy if I get sweaty. I have some compression leggings from fabletics and they just aren't fun to wear in the summer. I'm not fussed on style.

I'm more than happy to trawl the Internet, but if there are any tried and tested brands people know of, that would be better 🙂

Thank you, I'll check those links out.

What are compression leggings? I just wear gym shark they are super comfortable and sweat wicking

@Gymbunny2025 essentially, compression leggings are sports leggings that are super tight and made of materials that are supposed to aid in performance and quicker recovery times. They have a place in my wardrobe, but I'm after normal super stretchy leggings more for pilates/yoga and strength training.

That’s what I wondered! I have compression knee high socks (super cool 😂) but I’ve never heard of leggings. They don’t sound comfortable though especially for running?
