    Frequently Asked Questions

    No one wants to worry about see-through leggings when you’re trying to focus on hitting that PB or that next inversion - but whether a legging is squat-proof is not just about the colour of the fabric. This depends on the fabric thickness and composition, high nylon (otherwise known as polyamide) blends i.e 70%+ with dense-knit fabrication are typically more squat-proof than those containing less nylon.

    Some of our favourite squat-proof gym leggings are the Sweaty Betty Power Leggings, Nike One Dri-Fit Leggings and Nike Universa Legging

    For the ultimate run, you need leggings that support and sculpt, wick your sweat away, don’t budge or roll down and have plenty of features to perfect your fit. Most runners will agree that pockets are essential - to hold your keys, phone, or gels for longer distance training. Our picks are the Sweaty Betty Runners High Power ⅞ Leggings for their ultra-high supportive waistband, 5 different handy pockets and compressive fabrication, the Nike Epic Fast Running Leggings with stylish breathable mesh panels and reflective details to see you through summer and winter runs, and the adidas Run Essentials Leggings with signature ClimaCool technology and adjustable drawcord.

    Typically, the majority of the premium brands we stock at The Sports Edit will always ensure that their black leggings designed for the gym, or more high-performance activities are made with quality fabrics that won’t be see-through during use. This comes down to the fabric composition, thickness of the fabric and some leggings are double lined for ultimate opacity. Each individual product description will advise on squat-proof features. 

    Sizing for black gym leggings can vary by brand, our general rules are that leggings should be snug but not restrictive and the fit sometimes depends on what you’re using the leggings for. If you’re running, and need more compression you could size down while for more everyday wear you may choose to size up. To help you choose the right size, we recommend checking the size guide linked on each product page where we always add our recommendations based on our TSE experts advice, and through customer feedback.
