Suggestions please… I am back at the gym and need squat proof leggings that don’t cost a small fortune - yes, I’m looking at you Sweaty Betty 😑- there was a thread here a few weeks back but I can’t find it now. I think someone suggested tikamoon? Any others please?

As long as you buy leggings marketed as active wear rather than just fashion, any basic supermarket brand wil be fine.

OP, may l be cheeky and go back on your criteria. Yes, Sweaty Betty might be expensive, but seemingly they last for ever, so can work out cheaper. Mine have been worn frequently and still as new.

I was previously a SB addict but tried Love Leggings while pregnant and am now fully converted. Make sure you go for one of their specialised styles though not the regular ones.

It's quite a while since I bought any, because I switched to home workouts during lockdown, and never went back - but the Gap leggings were just as good as the Sweaty Betty ones in terms of fit, nice high waist, opacity. I only ever go for black though, so if you wanted more choice, dunno.

Oh, and they have lasted as long as my SB ones.

Sweaty Betty normally have 50% off when they have a sale which takes the price down to something more reasonable.

I love these ones very much from a small indie. She does petite, regular and tall! I have a 34 inch in seam and the regular ones are fine for me! The taller fit is a few inches too long. They are soft and comfortable. I wear them everyday for the gym. I think they go up to a 24 lovelissie.com/products/black-pocketless-full-length-leggings
