These are the best leggings for squats

Squats pose a great challenge for leggings. After all, they should not only fit well and not slip – above all they should be opaque for this exercise. We’ll now tell you which leggings are squat-tested and keep their promises.

Fitness fans love them: squats. But tight sports leggings have to endure a lot when performing the exercise. The stretch of the material is definitely one of the strongest here. So we took a look around to see which leggings survive the squat test and don’t have any nasty “revelations” in store.

Squat test: These leggings survive every squat

If you enjoy doing squats and similar exercises, yoga leggings are often not enough. These are usually too thin, give a medium hold at most and are designed for correspondingly quiet sessions. Instead, squatable leggings should meet these four criteria in particular:

lululemon: Miracle Train Tights

The sports brand lululemon has developed special leggings for yoga, workout, running, etc. The model “Miracle Train Tights” is specially designed for demanding workouts and is ideal for squats. In addition to many different designs and colors, buyers can also choose between different lengths (63 and 71 centimeters). What they have in common, however, is the high cuffs and good workmanship. Some models are also characterized by a pocket on the thigh, in which the smartphone and gym card can disappear. If you like, you can also choose an extra high cuff for some leggings.

H&M: From shaping to seamless

H&M offers three models for extended squat sessions and other training sessions. While the models themselves “Sport tights high waist” and “Shaping Tights High Waist” are particularly suitable “DryMove Seamless Shaping Sports tights”, which particularly convince us. All the models mentioned have a high waistband and reasonable elasticity. The two shaping leggings also support your thighs and buttocks with a successful appearance. The favorite leggings have another decisive advantage: they do not have unsightly seams. Especially with squats, it can sometimes look unfavorable if there is a seam on the buttocks that may cut into it.

Nike: Sportswear Essential

Sporting goods manufacturer Nike has a wide range of sports leggings. The model “Sportswear Essentials” is squat-tested and scores across the board. The black version is particularly recommended, as it is more opaque than the gray model. Although the cuff is only medium high, it is absolutely sufficient. Even with deep squats nothing slips.
