Recommend your workout leggings

[Deleted]

Please help me find great workout leggings. I really need some new ones and just haven't found any that I love.

My requirements:

Sweat wicking
Light compression
Medium weight for all seasons
Higher waisted
Available in capri length
Actual pockets (!!!)
Hopefully under $45/pair

What brands do you love?

These don't check all our boxes, but these are hands down my favorite. I keep buying them and with Old Navy you can always find a sale. They sometimes switch up the styles, and I do have a pair with pockets on the sides, but they only carry them for a limited time. Right now I don't think they have that style.

The waist is a thicker, different material that is really slimming and they never fall down even when running.

ETA: This is the one I was talking about with a side pocket:

I like the CRZ naked feel high waisted leggings with pocket from Amazon.

I also have good luck with the old navy compression leggings.

I like Senita a lot lately - they're big on pockets. I can get my cell phone in them - no problem (I also like their sports bras with pocket in the back for my phone).
Many of their capris are sweat wicking, light compression, high waisted.

I’m kind of obsessed with Athleta leggings, especially the ones with pockets. They’re over your price point, but they have sales. I’ve had some pairs for more than 5 years, and they’re still in great shape.

Everyone seems to love them, but I just choke at dropping that much on a pair of leggings. I work out outside and get dirty, and my sport of choice involves occasional high speed wipeouts that totally trash your pants!

I’m not loyal to any particular brand but have a few that might fit your criteria from TJMaxx/Marshall’s.

I love my old navy leggings. Great for working out, lounging, wearing to the grocery store, wearing all day...lol I think I live in old navy leggings 24-7 nowadays.

I just bought these from Costco and was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately most sizes and colors are sold out now.

Reviews said they ran large and I found that to be true. I usually wear a medium, but the size small fit perfectly.

I bought some Baleaf leggings a while ago on Amazon and only got to try them out today. They are warm and have a high waist and pockets. I really like them. Price was 30-40 range.

Baleaf are my go-to shorts for summertime training.  Their leggings are just a tad too long in the waist for me, resulting in saggy crotch.  I'm 5'2 and that's my problem with most leggings.  The search continues!

FYI--I just got an ad on Insta that you can buy 3 items from the Baleaf site at 50% off by using code BALEAF50.

@peep I am also 5'2 but fat enough to use up the fabric ;-)

My favorites are Athleta Salutation Stash Pocket (although they are a little thin for walking the dogs in the below zero temps, even with tall boots and a long coat, I work out right after I walk the dogs though so I refuse to change).

My 2nd favorites are these from American Eagle. I bought them hoping for regular non-workout leggings with pockets, but they are sweat wicking and compression, but they aren't capris (the S are ankle length on me): www.ae.com/us/en/p/women/joggers-sweatpants/ae-leggings/ae-the-everything-pocket-highest-waist-legging/0424_1303_073

All my other leggings are Marika, bought from either Zulily or TJ Maxx so they were either $14.99 or $19.99. I have several different thicknesses/lengths/etc. so I don't have a specific pair I'd recommend, I just always look for ones that are high waisted with pockets.
