Sweaty Betty are great. They have a sale on at the minute. Definitely not see through.
Nike dri fits are also fairly squat proof.
I did have a Primark pair for years tehy were excellent but bobbled.
I recently acquired lululemon, the quality is great but they are so expensive.

Lululemon

I second Sweaty Betty. Their Power leggings are fabulous!

ChuckMater · 30/11/2021 03:56

Thank you I'll have a look at your suggestions 😊

I've always found Primark ones to go see through quickly but I have had a fab pair from tesco that's last years.

Are Adidas or Nike any good a anymore?

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to luluemon or sweaty Betty then take a look at Tikiboo, sturdy be design or Flanci.

Tikiboo do plain styles if the fancy patterns aren't your thing. They stay up and are non see through.

I have a pair of Nike ones that are pretty flimsy compared to Tikiboo.

Rainbow and Sprinkles, Tikiboo, Ronhill or Mountain Warehouse

Another one for Sweaty Betty

Cluckycluck · 30/11/2021 06:42

Sweaty Betty. I tend to buy the Zero Gravity ones but the Power ones and All Day Gym are great too. I'm 5ft2 and the 7/8 length is full length on me.

Bara sportswear has the best leggings. Not cheap, but worth it. barasportswear.com/

If you are looking for less expensive options, CRZ Yoga or Syrokan on amazon or aliexpress are really good.

I agree with the 7/8 option in SB. I'm 5ft 7 but not long of leg so don't go for the full length.
I wear Adidas everything else but haven't tried their leggings, mainly because I don't need anymore. They do have EXTRA20 on their app at the min to get further discounts though should you purchase.
Nike do drifit leggings. They have a solid lycra and are excellent. The cotton leggings are see through so not for a gym.

I love my gym shark leggings. They’re nice and soft, don’t budge, not see through and are great temperature control. I’ve had excellent customer service too.

AndrewPeacock · 30/11/2021 10:28

Gymshark are good, thick, squat proof - good for weights.

Under armour - also squat proof but a thinner material that I prefer for cardio/metcon workouts as they don't feel as heavy.

I've heard Aybl recommended by others at the gym - lol like gym shark but cheaper and still tick all the boxes.
