Good quality exercise leggings - how much do you pay?

[SummersB]

I'm trying to work out if it's worth paying Sweaty Betty prices for a nice pair of leggings which provides good support for all my wobbly bits and doesn't lose shape after a few washes. Or can people recommend any other good quality brand that is maybe a bit less pricey?

SB running leggings are decent but IMO not worth £85+. You can get just as good if not better for a lot less. I have a pair that I bought on sale and they're no better than my Salomon, Under Armour and Nike pairs - around £45 full price but I got all of them in sales for £30ish. I have a pair of Lululemons that I got for a steal when I was in Vancouver but no way would I pay the £90+ price for that brand over here.

Thinking about it I must have 9 or 10 pairs of running/gym/climbing leggings in varying colours and lengths and I don't think I paid full price for any of them

I pay Lululemon prices, and consider the leggings totally worth it. So comfortable and practical, and show absolutely no signs of wearing out or fading even after very frequent use and washing. I have tons of exercise clothes and I find that my Adis, Nikes, Under Armours etc are simply not as good.

I’ve never paid £85 for sweaty Betty they do amazing sales.
I got three leggings, shorts and a bra for £90 in the last one.
Well worth waiting for the sales.

Asda. Thick band to.hold your stomach in and tight shape. I look better in my gym clothes than my jeans cos of the packaging.

I find sweaty Betty zero gravity do awesome things for my bum. However, I only buy at end of sale when 50% off. (a significant chunk of my wardrobe is bought mid January and I budget and plan for this )

I bought my first pair of sweaty bettys last week BUT when I squat they go so see through you can count the zits on my ass. Not happy

You should send them back!!!

@Teacuphiccup I'm going to send them back, I usually just sigh and get on with it with an ultra long t shirt haha. But these are waaaay too expensive to keep.

For the sweaty betties amongst us, which of their leggings are best for not going see through whilst squatting?? 🤔🤔
