Not as good as hoped!
Really nice leggings, but not perfect. They fit really nicely round the waist and are very comfortable, they do come down slightly when running though, even when I tie the cord. The waist band pocket is big enough to fit my phone if I wanted to take it running, which I don't do but means it should be big enough to use for gels. I tried using the leg pocket for the phone out of interest but it pulls the leggings down on that side when running. Not an issue as I tend to just run with my watch but I wanted to try it to see! They're really thick so I will only be able to use them in cold weather, which is fine but I don't remember reading that they are cold weather leggings. I'm only 157cm so the 7/8 length is great for me. Probably my second best leggings after my kalenji ones which cost £17.99 full price...

The worst leggings I've ever bought
These leggings have a really strangely positioned seam just below waist height which makes me feel like they are continually slipping down and want to pull them up. This has become so much of a problem I simply don't wear them anymore. The fabric is good quality. I really dislike the dark and dull colours of most of Sweaty Betty's clothes however, and these leggings are no exception. I also feel, as with the other products, they are massively overpriced. Unfortunately SB has become a status symbol but doesn't actually deliver in terms of wearability. See my review of the pink crop top sweatshirt, which is even worse than these leggings. So very tired of this over-rated, hyped company. I'd rather be comfortable than have a certain label of sportswear.

Disappointing fit compared to previous pair
Loved my first pair of these, but I have been really disappointed with the new pair. I had to wear them as soon as they arrived as needed them for work - if this hadn't been the case, I would have returned them. They 'fit' so I cut the tags and off I went, but something wasn't quite right: they didn't feel compressive at all, they slip down a bit at the waist, and the lower leg/ankle seemed a little baggy. I have since compared them to my previous pair and the sizing is completely different in 3 key areas (and presumably therefore throughout): waist and ankle openings are wider on the new pair, and there's a huge difference in length (I'm 5'2" with short legs so add this to the wider leg opening and, well, saggy baggy calf and ankle lycra).
These have been instantly relegated to gentle yoga and lounge wear - not why I bought them at all - and an expensive mistake at £50 (including discount).
I don't know if this is a result of using a new supplier or not (new ones made in Cambodia rather than Vietnam) but sad to be disappointed after thinking I'd finally found a source of good quality, well fitting leggings.

Fab!
Fab! I love them! I sized up based on others recommendations, I wear an xs in power leggings and tired the xs and S before opting for the small.

Love the Navy colour
I got these as a change from my black leggings and the colour is great. Lovely fabric which has washed well and looks flattering on. I bought these with the navy all day top and wear them both for yoga. Based on other reviews I sized down and they seem fine but not sure I needed to.

So disappointed!
Okay so I bought these about five weeks ago and initially I was in love. They are the perfect shade of black, don't sag or fall down and with no see through patches. They have enough compression to feel supportive and be flattering, yet are light enough to be able to relax in. However, I've washed them about 3 times now (as per the instructions) and they are already starting to bobble - for £75 this is not cool! I'm genuinely sad as I thought I'd found my perfect leggings but alas the hunt continues..

Great fit and flattering but material bobbles
I love these leggings and have 3 pairs. They are a great fit, flattering and comfy. However, for the price, the quality is disappointing, they begin to bobble and look worn after about 2-3 months of wear. It's not really good enough for the price. I was going to repurchase to have a "fresher" pair but to keep repurchasing after a few months, is wasteful and I stopped myself. Sweaty Betty please improve the quality of what is otherwise a great product!

Want to love them!
I love the shape and fit of these leggings and have found that unlike most leggings I'm not pulling them up all the time. However after less than 2 weeks (of wearing them pretty much constantly!) they are bobbling a LOT between the the legs - not what you'd expect for this price bracket in activewear. I know I don't have a thigh gap but c'mon Sweaty Betty, you don't have to make me feel THAT bad about it!

I love power leggings for any activity as I feel I'm all smoothed out and nothing falls down or wrinkles in odd places.

Perfect all rounder
The best leggings I’ve ever owned. I was on the fence for ages before buying them but I wish I bought them sooner! 100% squat proof and not matter what exercise I’m doing, whether I’m doing barre, hiit or walking/hiking, they don’t move at all!

I honestly won't be buying leggings anywhere else!
Brought these leggings for everyday wear and also for the walks that I have been doing during lockdown, they are supportive and make your figure look INSANE! I would size down in these as I am a 12 on my bottom half and I brought these in a Small and they fit and feel amazing! The colour reminds me of my favourite glass of wine too - red!

Best Fitting Leggings
I usually hate buying leggings as I can never find a pair that fits on my waist properly, doesn't fall down or are practically see through. So it was great that the website can help you choose exactly the right pair! They are expensive but the quality of material and the fit make these a good investment.

Great leggings, shame about the quality
I loved these leggings at the start. I only bought them in November but I have been a sweaty Betty customer for ten years and I’m very disappointed with the quality of these. I’ve followed the washing instructions but it has bobbled and really look very old and worn. I’m gutted as for £75 I don’t think they should be looking like this after a few months

Finally a flattering pair of gym leggings
Really pleased with the shape, fit and quality. I bought black and green camo and they are lovely. Like to 7/8 length too as it's getting warmer. Nice to not be pulling them up every 5 minutes! The best tops are nice too,sizes come up a bigger than expected but a nice simple best. Thank you SB

The best leggings
These leggings are by far the best I've ever owned, and the only ones that stay up when running - even with my phone in the pocket! I'm a UK 10/12 but wear an XS as the size S wouldn't stay up. My only complaint is that the stitching near my inner knee is fraying after only a few wear which is a bit disappointing!

Felt like great quality but unthreading after 2wks
When I unpacked these leggings I was impressed at the quality of them but disappointedly after only a couple of weeks, the crotch is starting to unthread. I'm gutted as I already love the leggings, the side pocket, the fact that they aren't see through - They'd be perfect if it wasn't for the fact I'm likely to get a hole in the seam crotch with continued use and the reason I bought from Sweaty Betty is because this was supposed to be a better quality brand.

Leggings feel great but fabric gets fuzzy easily
Great feel and fit of the leggings, they really do everything they say they do! My only concern is that I've had them for about 2 week and the fabric has already started to bobble. Given the price tag I would expect them to be long lasting, but a bit nervous now going forward, especially because I want to wear them all the time!

Great for running and all sports
I bought these for running and all activities and they are very versatile, I can use them for almost any activity, the drawstring helps keep them up if needed, super super soft material which I love against my skin, they are not high waisted, but I wear them higher than normal and that's not an issue. I wouldn't wear them for general wear during the winter, but can do in the summer! #teamsweatybetty

My new favourite leggings!
The most comfortable leggings to work out in - do not fall down, and they feel like a second skin even though they are thick enough to support you. I'm a size 10 and went for an XS which is perfect, would recommend sizing down if you're unsure. I want them in every colour! #Obsessed

My favourite SB leggings
The generous side pocket and zip pocket at back are great. I find the power leggings the best all-rounder that SB offers.

If you are after a pair of leggings with high compression and sculpting properties, we would highly recommend the Power Gym Leggings or Super Sculpt High Waisted Yoga Leggings. Both leggings have high compression, the main difference is that the Super Sculpt High Waisted Yoga Leggings are a little thicker, so feel even more sculpting!
