Leggings are a staple to most outdoor sports – from hiking to cycling to abseiling, we need a durable reliable pair. We asked our community to gather their favourite sports leggings with a variety of price points. We have collated sports leggings suitable for all.

The Power Gym leggings have an extensive colour range, incorporating fun prints and graphics. Properties include side pockets and back zip pocket, handy for carrying your outdoor essentials and they dry super fast! The leggings are super stretchy and there is no need to keep pulling them up as they sculpt the body. A little more on the expensive side of leggings but worth every penny.
