See through leggings!

[Lizcanrun]

Hello all, I've been trying to find some thermal leggings that won't break the bank. I ordered a lovely pair from Start Fitness and was delighted with them, until I tried them on. They are completely see through! I know I just asked for bra recommendations (thank you all!), but if anyone has recently bought some thermal leggings at a reasonable price, please share!!

I have a pair of Kalenji ones from Decathlon. Really inexpensive but do the job. This winter I've also bought some spin shorts that I can wear under my ordinary leggings because I sometimes get a cold. 🍑

Works a treat!

Thanks. Decathalon have some nice looking ones, but none in my size!

I have winter leggings from Sturdy by Design. £36.99, kept me snug in -3°C a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely not see-through.

[Lizcanrun Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

Will have a look 😊

See through leggings are not what you need. I have run warm long sleeve tops from Decathlon. This link is for the leggings. 😊😊decathlon.co.uk/p/run-warm-...

Thanks, I looked at Decathalon, but they didn't have my size... Maybe I've left it too late 😭

I have those ones, they’re really nice. I’m a 12, when they they came, they were marked L and 16!! But they were ok. I should have ordered a 10 maybe. I find Decathon sizing difficult.

[Lizcanrun Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

I'm a 10 & they had a 12. Worth a try?

I don't think I have the same ones, but I have a pair of warm winter leggings from Decathlon. Ordered my size and they were too narrow on the thighs. Exchanged them for 1 size bigger and they fit perfectly. The waist is a bit big, but mine have these ropes in the waistband that you can tighten.

[Jools2020 Graduate10 in reply to Lizcanrun]

They’ll probably be a little big, but there is a drawstring. Without that, they wouldn’t stay up. Might be worth a try, you can always send them back! I think I was a 10 when I ordered them as I’d lost a lot of weight. I wear them for every run at the moment and really like them. The pocket at the back isn’t big enough for my mobile, by the way.

Thanks

How annoying, hope you find a good source. I'm still in shorts🤣 happy running 🤗

[Lizcanrun Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

SHORTS?!!! You're made of stronger stuff than me!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Lizcanrun]

No idea how I manage, been in them right through the ice and wind of winter. Do need my thermal gloves though🤣

[Lizcanrun Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Reassuring that you are merely a mortal in art least one area!

[nowster Graduate10]

The thermal ones I have are Sub Sports brand. You want to avoid light colours. They make them for ladies, too. 😉

[Lizcanrun Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Thanks, the see through ones were sub sports!

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to Lizcanrun]

Probably one of the thinner ones, then. I've got grey and black in their "cold" range.

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to Lizcanrun]

Their RX range is practically see-through white, IIRC.

I got some great gear from sportshoes.com. Top brands but with great discounts, presumably old season stuff.

I got a pair of Asics thermal compression tights, £35ish. (Supposedly worth £70ish?!) Love them. Soft, snug, comfy and 100% squat proof 🍑

[CatTheSecond]

Sugarpocket on Amazon - nice sturdy fabric and best of all, they have POCKETS!

[Phdgranny Graduate10]

I have some compression leggings from Sainsbury’s, they are quite thick and warm and they smooth out the lumpy bits!!

[CaptFrey 60minGraduate]

Hi I get my stuff from M&S still too plump for sporty type brands. They are good and hide your pants.

I got some in a sale from Mountain Warehouse before the current Lockdown.
