These Salutation Stash High Rise ⅞ Leggings are ideal for yoga and studio practices, including Pilates and barre, because they’re breathable, slightly compressive and moisture-wicking. In addition to having two side pockets for storing essentials, in my experience, they’re some of the most size-inclusive leggings on the market. They run from XS to 3X and come in petite, regular and tall, and have three inseam sizes for each size category. They’re also available in more than 20 colors.
As someone who is 5 foot 4 inches, I like that the “regular” size and 25-inch inseam hits above my ankle. (Many other brands’ leggings are often too long for me and I love that I can experiment with the size and inseam options to find a combination that works for me.)
They also have a soft, slight compressive material that hits the right balance for me between being too relaxed and too stiff, letting me move around easily and comfortably. I own three pairs in both dark and light colors and love that none of them are see-through. When squatting in classes or freely at the gym, I never have to worry about see-through areas or sweat marks in the back. I sweat easily, often within five minutes of exercising, I can always feel and see noticeable perspiration droplets, but you’d never guess it by looking at my leggings. I can finish my workout and exit the gym without a care in the world.
I’ve had my black pair for almost three years and my Storm Gray and Aspen Olive leggings for a year. With all three pairs, I haven’t experienced tears, seams coming undone or pilling during the laundry process — they stay intact even after multiple wears and washes.
