I also evaluated the materials used in each pair of leggings and considered how those materials would affect the leggings in terms of durability, breathability, moisture wicking properties, and overall comfort.

The company covers an area of more than 25 acres, the factory building area is 12, 000 square meters, and there are more than 550 employees, including more than 40 professional and technical personnel. Fitness influencer Chasi Jernigan likes them, saying that “the stretch fabric allows you to move unrestricted. They’re made with a soft yet substantial fabric, and they offer gentle but supportive compression and a flattering—albeit not flawless—cut. Our leggings have a push-up effect that will lift and shape your buttocks to give you 3D peachy buttocks while you wear them.Our fabric is moisture-wicking, so it will keep you cool and dry no matter how extensive your workout is. I wore them for sweaty indoor-cycling classes during a heat wave and appreciated their breathability and ability to dry in a relative snap. In contrast to some pants that chafed or bit into our hips, this model never had us cursing our pants mid-class.

They have more seaming than other, simpler pairs we tried, but that contributed to their nice shape. I would confidently pop them on for running, strength training, and other workouts, as well as for less-rigorous pursuits like yoga and lounging. You can wear them for yoga, but they’re just as great for lifting at the gym, lounging around at home, or running errands. When we went on a trip with limited bags, we loved that this pair was a "staple piece" that we could wear for yoga in the morning and then pair with different tops to make a variety of outfits for the rest of the day.These leggings feature a breathable fabric with a four-way stretch to keep you moving without restriction.

One of the most versatile pants we tested, we appreciate that it is also one of the most sustainable, made of recycled materials. Leggings that fit well can keep you comfortable during runs, so you stay motivated to finish that last mile.

Generally, thinner weight pants prevented us from getting too hot in the first place and also allowed our moisture to evaporate away. I put these through a range of workouts in a variety of conditions and was impressed with their overall wearability. At Decathlon you can choose from yoga leggings and shorts in cotton fabrics or technical fabrics that help to wick away sweat and moisture to keep you feeling fresh. The thin fabric is surprisingly supportive, and we love how the compression gently tummy tucks when we bend into pretzels. The ColorfulKoala is also very thin, but the fabric vents and wicks moisture quickly during yoga and when off the mat.
