Worth it?
Okay okay okay,
So I originally purchased this set (separately) and was going to compare it to Gymshark BUT, I have a few issues upfront so I’m not going to bother with the comparison.
1st: Size
ORDER A SIZE UP IN THE LEGGINGS. I’m 5.7 & 145 lbs. I ordered a Large and I feel as though I could have gone up a size more. HOWEVER, if I did... the waist would have been too big. The seams in the crotch felt too tight, I’m too afraid of squatting out of these. Also these are not full length, the are more like 7/8ths
2. Material
I actually have only good things to say about the material. I like it. It’s thick and much like compression leggings. They ARE NOT see through... at least the grey. It’s quality fabric, I think it would hold up well sweatproof wise. It is a bit itchy from right out of the package but it should wash out fine.
3. Top:
I ordered the top in a Large
I’m a 36C, normally with sports bras I have to order a large. This runs big! It met the high waist of the leggings and was loose at the bottom of the shirt. I highly recommend sizing true or smaller. They’re are thumb holes if that interests you. 🙃
4: Overview:
I think this specific brand fits a specific type of body. I have thick thighs and only plan on making them thicker. There’s no way the seams will hold up with continual squatting, the stitch work is almost too tight and in result it will tear... probably mid-squat haha I think this product works great for petite women who don’t plan on bulking and gaining a ton of muscle. I gave this product a 3 only because THEY ARE SQUAT PROOF and it’s a rarity to find that. As far as the top, I think I would love it if I had ordered a medium. The fit is nice, sleeve length isn’t too short and the material is durable enough that I think it would be pretty sweatproof.
I was not paid for this review, just helping my fellow gym rats :)
