These high-waisted leggings by CRZ YOGA feature a high-gauge polyamide and elastane blend, designed to offer a soft, "brushed" tactile experience. The fabric measures between 210 and 220 GSM, providing a mid-weight thickness that is suitable for pilates or low-impact household activities. Flatlock stitching is used throughout the garment to reduce the risk of skin irritation during movement.
Specifications indicate that the material provides 4-way stretch, which allows the garment to return to its original shape for several months of regular use. However, tests show that the synthetic fibers are sensitive to high temperatures. Exposing the leggings to high-heat laundry cycles can cause the elastane to degrade, resulting in a loss of tension in the waistband and knees.
Maintenance and Usage
While the leggings offer a high degree of comfort, the lack of an internal elastic stay in the waistband means the fabric relies solely on its own compression to stay in place. Users may notice the waistband moving during high-cardio activities. To maintain the surface texture and prevent pilling, it is best to avoid washing these with rough items like denim or towels.
The moisture-wicking properties of the nylon-heavy blend help manage perspiration during light activity.
If you require a sturdier fabric for high-impact gym sessions, the G Gradual Capri Pants feature a higher density interlock knit. Explore our full range of clothing solutions in the athletic leggings department.
