Training tights are an essential garment for those who practice different forms of exercise. With the wide variety on the market, it can be difficult to know which tights are best suited for different activities, how to choose the right size and what types of tights are available. We help you find the tights for your training!
When working out at the gym, you need tights that give you freedom of movement while staying in place during different exercises like squats or deadlifts. Opt for tights that are made of stretchy material and preferably have reinforced seams to cope with the various movements.
When running, it's good to wear tights that are moisture-wicking and stay comfortably in place throughout the run. Compression running tights can also help reduce muscle fatigue and increase blood circulation.
Yoga requires tights that are soft, stretchy and flexible to allow you to perform different positions without feeling restricted. Choose tights made of breathable materials with a comfortable waistline.
For sports activities such as football, basketball or volleyball, it is important to wear tights that provide support and compression for the muscles while allowing full freedom of movement.
Once you have chosen the tights for your activity, there are even more choices to make. What length, waist height and material do you prefer?
Compression tights are designed to provide extra support to muscles during exercise. They can help reduce muscle fatigue and improve recovery after exercise. Ideal for preventing injury and providing extra support to the legs.
Training tights come in several different lengths; full length, shorts, 3/4 length also called capri tights. The choice of length often depends on the individual style and the type of exercise you perform.
Training tights are also available with different waist heights; high waist, normal and low waist. The choice of waist height affects both comfort and support during exercise but is also often a personal preference. High-waisted training tights often provide extra support to the pelvis while low-waisted training tights offer more freedom of movement.
Choosing the right size is essential to get the best possible fit and comfort when wearing training tights.
Start by taking your body measurements, using a tape measure to measure your waist, hips and inseam. Not sure how to take your measurements? We can help you!
We have size guides from our different brands so you can easily compare your measurements with the size guide of the tights you are interested in. This is to help you find the right size for you.
If you are in a store or choose to order from home, try the tights on properly before you decide to buy or keep them. This is to make sure they feel comfortable and fit well on your body when you do different movements.
