The Heathyoga High Waist Pants are designed to provide a high-density knit that maintains its opacity during movement. Utilizing an interlock knit construction, the fabric is thicker than standard jersey blends, which supports the "tummy control" feature without straining the individual fibers. This design helps the waistband stay in place during varied activities, from household chores to gym workouts.
Dual-side pockets are reinforced to hold a mobile device weighing up to 200g without vertical slippage. The high-rise design features a wide-tapered mold, which is intended to reduce the chance of the waistband rolling down during high-intensity intervals. Flatlock stitching is used for the seams to increase durability, though it may cause minor friction for those with sensitive skin during long periods of use.
Long-Term Durability
While the initial tactile feel is high, the spandex filaments in the fabric can lose their elasticity by approximately 15% after 50 wash cycles. To slow this fatigue, it is essential to avoid tumble drying, as heat accelerates the degradation of the polymers. For those living in warmer climates, the high density of the knit may reduce overall breathability compared to lighter fabrics.
Properly following cold-wash instructions will help maintain the "snap-back" capability of the leggings for a longer duration.
