Squat proof leggings

7 replies

Hi all
My most squat proof high waisted leggings are fabletics powerhold. They are properly opaque. Almost perfect…. however I get really hot and sweaty in them.

tried some gymshark dupes as recommended by an influencer ‘joyspels’ from Amazon - they are much cooler and the waistband tends to stay up BUT they’re pretty see through when I bend over under the light !

Any recommendations ? I do a variety of exercise including yoga, circuits, kettlebell classes and boxing. So I’d like high waist, cool, opaque and for the waist band to stay put !

My sweaty Betty power leggings are very good but suspect as they are thick and good quality, they will also make you hot? they don’t do that with me, however?

Most brands are fine, including budget ones

I love Sweaty Betty leggings but I have to admit I’m not squatting in them. I suspect they will feel thick like the fabletics ones.

Sweaty Betty power leggings are wonderful. They’ve never let me down.

This isn’t my experience at all, hence my post. Most either don’t have a strong enough waist that stays up or go see through when I mend over.

Thanks for the SB recommendations, I’ll go in to town and actually feel some. If they’re not as thick as fabletics that would be perfect.

M&S good move gym leggings. I have loads of different expensive leggings but I keep coming back to these as the best. SB power are too hot.
