Searching for Squat Proof Leggings!!
Replies

I almost exclusively wear GRRRL gear- I think they are great (actually wearing a pair to work today right now)- comfortable- squat proof and they have such a great message- AND they are affordable in the world of workout gear. 10/10 have my vote. And Kortney ALWAYS keeps it real and humble.
How do you possibly squat in basketball shorts? They catch on your knees when you bend- AND if you have thick thighs- you want up with this really unflattering / \ angle of fabric that bunches and points straight at your crotch- it's just a lose lose situation all the way around. not sure how you can't get that. Plus the dressing depending on her sexual orientation. Not everyone is comfortable treading the aesthetic line.sendtoharvey wrote: »I keep telling my wife just wear basketball shorts to lift or workout like me, but she said it makes her look like a lesbian...

I just ordered my first pair- I think I ordered the reversible cartoon ones and the shut the fk-upcakes shirt. SO excited- they should be here soon!!!quiksylver296 wrote: »Constantlyvariedgear.com has fun squat-proof leggings, too.BusyRaeNOTBusty wrote: »The higher priced Champions from Target.
These are also good- the premium/platinum brand. I have a pair I've had for over 5 years- they are still holding on strong.0 -

How are they for running? I find some leggings slip down and I end up having to yank them up every 10 seconds...
Never had an issue. I've also worn them under my leather race suits, they don't bunch, slip, or fall down even in those conditions (100+ degree days, straddling a 200 degree engine....).
Only pair I've had tear on me were the ones I was wearing when I crashed my scooter in the pits (don't ask LOL).1 -
Google any online Cross Fit store.2

I have a pair of these (solid black) and they are nice and thick, not see through. However I will say, they are very VERY long on me (I’m 5’3”) so something to consider.
I just discovered this new brand called Senita Athletics. I am waiting for my package to arrive in the mail, and will report back if they end up being good!1 -

I'm a lesbian and I would not be caught dead in basketball shorts. But your wife is correct- basketball shorts are practically a rainbow flag.
This cracked me up2 -

How are the HVIII brand leggings? Are they soft and flattering? Something just tells me Matt can't make leggings properly but I guess he probably had help.
I really like them. They're my first choice for leggings to hang out in (I can't get enough of my brickhouse grrrl leggings at the gym). I have the grey heathered and the purple heathered. I haven't tried thebolain black ones. They're cottony and soft, wth good stretch. I think they're pretty flattering. I feel like I pull them up a lot, but
I think they just might be a tiny bit too big for me.0 -
Old navy is the best for the price . I also like Adidas leggings . I have a pair and they are my fav. Also lulu’s last forever but they are costly2
-
I can warn you AGAINST Old Navy. That's usually what I buy mine because they have tall sizes, but I've had 1 pair get tons of small holes all down the butt seam & another with holes through the crotch. Not good for squats! Thankfully I noticed before they became bigger holes, but now I always check them before/after workouts. The cotton ones are the least durable.3

Funny thing is they let me go race my real motor bike the rest of the weekend! But that 125 scoot....(actually turned out the front end had gotten dorked on the way there, but didn't realize that until after the fact LOL).0 -

enjoy shenanigans happen in the pits or just trying to get on and off the track- I can't imagine them keeping you off the track from a simple mistake like that. It happens.
do you race race- or just track day type racing?0 -

Ok so my Senita leggings came in the mail and I LOVE them! They are definitely squat proof. Nice thick material with enough compression to suck you in, but not too much - no dance required to get them on.
Most styles of their leggings all have multiple pockets: deep side pockets, a back zipper pocket, and a mini inside pocket.
Plus they have super cute styles and all are only around $30! (They aren’t paying me, I swear, I’m just excited!)
Please excuse my husband’s messiness in the pics.2 -
I know you mentioned Nike and said you didn't like them but they're the only tights I buy now because they are squat proof. I'm talking about Nike Legend, Nike Legendary and Nike Epic. I have other Nike tights but I wouldn't say that they are squat proof. They are cheaper but you get what you pay for! The ones I recommended are quite dear but worth every penny in my opinion :-)1

Lolol!!! I only realized that my leggings were not squat proof after I played a season of coed volleyball with my boyfriend lol. I only wear Old Navy or Denver Hayes from Mark’s. Sooo...0

Asda Walmart's own sportswear leggings, squat, dead, bench, do cardio and everything in them. Fast dry and stretchy and supportive all in one hit...0

I like these. https://landsend.com/products/womens-active-yoga-pants/id_212716?sku_0=::BLA
I order a size down because I prefer them a little tighter than the model. They are thick and bullet proof strong. You can wera flowered underwear and sweat like crazy and nobody is going to see what's on under there. I have had my original pair for probably 7 years annd probably roate to them every other week and wash and dry them the same. They are still in good shape with no tear or thin spots. Love them.
One thing I am not sure they show - they are like pants so not tight at bottom. If you bike, you will have to tuck or wrap so they don't get caught in the chain.1 -

The scoot happened on the way to registration at the start of the weekend LOL, so had lovely road rash over my entire knee for the duration of the 3 days (ouch).
Race race (bugs me when track day riders say they are 'racing') - just club racing at this point (AFM), but shooting to make a MotoAmerica bid (at least as a wild card) no later than next year.0 -
Lorna Jane if you've got the big bucks. super thick and quality but $$$1

cool!
I had grand visions of getting there- but I was too slow- and not ballsy enough to keep pushing harder to make it.
Yeah- it's hard to explain track days vs racing to people who don't know- they think it's all "racing" - but interestingly we had a lot of guys in some of our groups who were actual racers who did a lot of track days- technically not racing- but let's be honest- as long as they weren't trading actual paint- they were racing each other LOL. The one org I used to participate under had colored groups- I think the racers were all in the "black" group- and usually they would run 2 heats with an actual grid start for them to practice- so not an actual race- but they were going to town for sure.0 -

Most of the track day orgs out here have 3 groups (A=Advanced, B=Intermediate, C=Novice) and plenty of racers can be found in A and a few on the smaller bikes in B groups practicing or working on some skills. Most of the instructors/staff for the orgs are also local racers (or used to be). No practice starts though
And later in the day when the track gets fairly empty, can't say that a group of us who know each other won't get out there and play around a bit

I got 2 gymshark flex leggings and 1 nike power legend. The thing with nike leggjngs is that there is a lot of difference between the models and by far not all are squat proof. I love my Nike power legends they are fully squat proof and feel great. The gymsharks are okay squat proof too but camel toe prone. Also they are a bit expensive for what you get.1

Honestly, my go to leggings for workouts are the Old Navy active wear line. Inexpensive, comfy, no underwear show and they last forever!!!!!0

I have so many different kinds...Calia, Reebok, UA, Fila, Old Navy, etc. and have never had an issue with not being squat proof.0

REI has great and durable workout clothes1
