Best exercise clothes - sweat wicking

[RichTea90]

Hi all,
I’ve got really into my exercise, but unfortunately I sweat so much and I’m looking at changing my clothing. I tend to wear sweaty betty & lululemon tho.
can anyone recommend good sweat wicking products or brands? Tried and tested preferred!!
many thanks!

Sweat happens if you exercise. I like Adidas, Nike and Ronhill. Ronhill is a bit of a runner's brand, but Adidas and Nike tend to do 'athleisure' and proper workout kit, so are a bit more stylish, if that's a concern.
My favourite is definitely Ronhill but I exercise for me.

I was going to say Decathlon but if you're more Sweaty Betty I'm guessing you're not worried about budget brands. Do look for running stuff..runners take it all very seriously so it's definitely about performance rather than look or fashion.

I'm not that fussed about how it looks as long as it's not pink or purple.
IME the adidas stuff has a nice cut, but they make fashion as well as performance clothing. It's not the same.

Good running shops usually have decent performance gear.
For online shopping, I like Start Fitness - Running, Cycling & Sportswear Supplier but a proper shop is better. Their shop is great but I no longer live in the area.

I've never rated lululmon or sweatybetty but I'm on a budget.

I sweat a lot when I work out, no amount of wicking is going to help me! I always stick to black and keep a towel and headband handy - looking chic is clearly not a priority 😁.
I love Sweaty Betty leggings (bought with a voucher when I left previous role - they're brilliant)and any top - I have ones from Matalan, ASOS, Adidas.

I wear a lot of black or navy. Grey marl I wore only once as I seemed to sweat unevenly in it and it showed. White tops get sunscreen stains.

I buy patterned sweaty Betty leggings to hide the sweat. Plain colours are a no for me as I sweat too much

Good shout! I tend to live in my black leggings or black cycle shorts from Sweaty Betty. I’d so love to mix it up and wear colour, especially burgundy or plum for this time of year but worried about sweat showing through!!

agree with PP re wearing black… I’ve taken to wearing all black with a bright sports bra underneath

I just remembered that the adidas grey running tights were those where your knickers showed through when I did floor work.

BAM has beautiful bamboo workout gear that feels so much nicer than sweaty plastic clothes. Their sizing is weirdly small, though.
