runners - recommend your leggings (wicking)

[CloudBee]

I prefer crops or full length leggings to shorts.

I bought a pair of LLL Inspire crops over the weekend and love them. But want to know what else is out there that's made out of wicking fabric and doesn't slide around. I've ordered a few basic pairs through Amazon (Champion, Spalding) and hate them. I think I need to stick with high end brands to get the fit I'm looking for. I have several pairs of LLL yoga pants (all or mostly cotton) and they aren't cutting it now that summer is here. I need pants that breath.

I tried on Athleta's running crops over the weekend and they are just okay. Love their shorts and wicking tees, though.

Have you tried Lucy? I like their Endurance tights.

I haven't stepped foot in one of their stores, but am pretty sure there is one down the street from my office.

I really like the crops I have from Old Navy. I'll try and look up the exact name later...

[OrangeBanana]

Not high end at all but have you looked at the Old Navy ones? I was very surprised that I could be so happy with something at that price point. I have several pairs of the compression capris and leggings that have been going strong for over a year now.

Old Navy Go-Dry compression capris are pretty good and light.

I also like anything by Adidas. Look for the ones with the tags that says "climalite"

I have wear Brooks or LLL. Brooks generally don't have as many pockets, so I only wear them for shorter runs. But they are a nice thicker material compared to the LLL. And cheaper.

I've never worn LLL, so not sure how it compares, but all my running leggings are from Under Armour and I love them.

Nike running capris are my favourite. I much prefer them over any other brand. I have a few pairs that I rotate between but these are my favourite:

Eta: They have a drawstring waist which is a must for me.  Everything else seems to fall down as I run and I can't stand hiking them up during a run.

[orangello]

My favorite pairs are Athleta, GapFit, and Old Navy. Be careful with the GapFit and Old Navy pants, however - some of their fabrics are sort of see-through.

I have a pair of Calvin Klein I love.

Did you try the chaturanga crops at Athleta? Those are my favorite!

Another vote for the Old Navy capris. They're my most confortable running pants. I've had them for well over a year, and they're still going strong.

Zella from Nordstrom. You can get them on sale at Nordstrom Rack. Don't be fooled by the cheap "Z by Zella" line. Go for the real thing.

[larzhope]

I'm a huge fan of Brooks

[malibu]

I love every single pair of Fabletics bottoms I have.

I've also had good luck with ON's compression lines and the Adidas Climalite as a PP suggested.

[formerlyak]

I second Lucy. They actually closed many of their stand alone stores and I have since seen them in Dick's Sporting Goods and Sports Authority. They also have a Lucy store on Amazon now.

I also really like Zella Live In Leggings. They come in capri.

Ditto. You usually can find them on sale at the anniversary sale.

[tacocat]

I love the ones from Old Navy and just got some that are high rise so I don't need to pull them up as much (if at all)

[shell24]

Nike Legend or Under Armour. If you are in a cold climate, UA cold gear is the best.
