CW-X Stabilyx Compression Capri
Compression leggings can help increase blood flow, reduce muscle fatigue and prevent strain before, during and after workouts. These capris are super popular, and they’re praised by online reviewers, especially those with knee issues.
Because of the very snug fit, they’re a bit harder to get on than regular leggings. You need to make sure they’re properly aligned as the support panels are designed to offer different levels of compression throughout your legs. The support panels are designed to go above and below your knees to help with stability. Ensuring proper panel placement should also make it easier for you to find the right fit. They’re also made with a wicking material to prevent overheating.
Lululemon Align Pant
You’ll never want to take off these yoga pants, and the good news is you don’t have to. They’re comfortable enough to wear as loungewear yet they perform well during workouts. The fabric is incredibly lightweight and smooth, and they have a versatile fit for a variety of body types that won’t dig in or roll at the waist.
“These leggings are insanely soft,” said one tester. “They have a lightweight feel that is cozy like a second skin. They didn’t feel compressive or too snug yet they looked very flattering. I didn’t want to take them off!” They are known to pill a bit more than other workout leggings, so we suggest washing them inside out on the delicate cycle and letting them air dry to prevent that. Since they’re more lightweight, they’re best suited for lower-impact exercise.
