Sweaty Betty  Power Leggings - Women's

I love these leggings! They hold up well, have good compression without being overly tight, and the prints are just the best. They have definitely changed size a little in the past year though - the newer ones seem to be a slimmer fit so if you’ve had them previously, possibly try the size up as well as your usual size and decide which are most comfy for you.

I’m a guy who adores leggings and I have several pairs of Sweaty Betty leggings. The quality is always superb. I love leggings with pockets and the Power leggings are great. The pockets are a good size. I love the level of compression too. I got size small for this reason and the waistband is super tight, so struggled to get them on. However, once on they are very comfortable and don’t feel too tight at all. Wearing them now so very happy boy!

I received the Power Leggings after much researching and have generally been very happy with them. They are comfortable and don't slip down at all at the waist. I have worn them for home workouts and for my first yoga class today. I am a little disappointed to find that the knees of the leggings have started to sag and have lost there tightness, I have washed them once but followed the care instructions to the letter. For the price paid I am disappointed, I want to love these so much and have another pair on the way in the post but am unsure if I will be keeping them now after this development. For reference I am 5Ft 6 and a size UK8, I got the full length in size XS

I had seen these leggings a lot on my social media and decided to give them a go as I am so sick of constantly pulling my leggings up in the gym and especially at yoga. I'm a UK 14 and an hour glass shape so I need leggings with a draw cord. I ordered a Size L and they fit really well. They pull you In and have a higher waist so hide any tummy wobbles. And they don't move - ever. I do get a little bit of a roll down at the top of the waist but I think this is more a length thing. I'm 5' 8 so I ordered full length and they fit perfectly. The fabric is really nice on your skin and totally non see through. I would heartily recommend for gym workout or yoga and have ordered a second pair.

While I love these leggings, the feel, the pocket, the quality… what I didn’t need was the security tag that was attached. I was so excited to see the delivery and eager to wear and now I need to go thru the return process and wait again. Also, the long line sports bra, which I followed the size chart to pick the correct size, was so small that I couldn’t even get one arm and shoulder thru.

I've worn these twice so far since purchasing, and the seams are already coming loose in multiple places! This is such a shame as I've previously bought the power leggings and they had lasted me over two years. It seems the quality of the stitching is much poorer now, I wouldn't buy these again as it's just not worth the money if they're deteriorating this quickly.

I have never invested in activewear before, let alone something as high-end as SweatyBetty. But the excellent Elizabeth Day's How to Fail adverts persuaded me it was worthwhile, especially as I got back into running during lockdown. The moment I put them on I felt AMAZING and they've inspired me to do lots more exercise, simply because I feel confident in them - athletically and bodily! No fear of holes / see-throughness / sagging - just great quality and thoughtful design. I also am a HUGE fan of the pocket and it makes me feel a lot safer than running round London with my phone in my hand all the time. Saving up for another pair this year...

Had some cotton coming loose at the seam, after around 10 wears there was a hole in the seam at the calf. Not good quality at all. This is the second pair of sweaty betty leggings I have owned that have been faulty.

I recently purchased the “Blue Floral Pop Print” power leggings and to say that I am disappointed would be an understatement. I have owned several pairs of SB’s power leggings in the past and the quality always justified the cost. This couldn’t be further from the truth with the “Blue Floral Pop Print” leggings that I recently received. Upon initial inspection, the blue background is so dark it is hard to discern from a black background. As they were cute enough, I shrugged and thought to myself that it was fine and I’d be able to get over it. Flash forward 5 minutes later and I’ve realized, upon putting the pants on, they are half as thick as my older powers. I ran my hand along the inside leg applying light to moderate pressure and you could immediately see the outline of each of my fingers. I’m terrified at the idea of doing squats at the gym or HIIT training for fear of what these incredibly thin leggings will reveal. I’ve always counted on SB to produce high quality items in the past, but after receiving this lackluster pair I’m wondering if they’re starting to cut corners. So disappointed.

I now have possibly too many of these leggings, but I am still selective. These black ones are being put by for winter, to wear alone (look fab with DM's) or under walking trousers for extra warmth. I have numerous patterned ones, and also mended one pair successfully, that I managed to rip a big hole in with a sticky-out nail at the recycle centre! I've tried other leggings, but these tick every box... they stay up, they shape well, they're super comfortable, the right thickness, totally non see-through (even in child pose), sweat wick well during exercise, dry easily if caught in a downpour, and wash almost like new for eons of washes. I always buy mediums, even though I'm a general size 10 and between 64-68kg (occasionally size 12 in jackets etc, as quite athletic build), because they fit securely without feeling too tight or restricting. They never bag at the knees or bum on me, so never needed to try a size small. I'm 5ft 8, with 31cm inside leg and so the regular length just goes nicely to my ankle. I have tried the high rise versions and running ones too, but the Powers are the ones for me :)
