The Gym People offer a high-waisted legging featuring a heavy-weight interlock knit, which is better suited for high-compression activities like resistance training. The 4-way stretch construction uses a blend of nylon and spandex, which maintains its opacity even when the fabric is elongated. The 4.5-inch waistband is designed without internal elastic, relying instead on the fabric’s own tension to provide a secure fit.
Specifications confirm a triangular crotch gusset that helps reduce seam tension and prevents common structural failures. The side pockets are reinforced at the stress points to ensure that carrying a mobile device—tested up to 250g—does not cause the fabric to sag or pull. This makes them a practical choice for parents who need to keep their hands free while staying active.
Due to the high material density, these leggings may feel warmer in environments exceeding 75°F. Users should be aware of a "compression creep" where the fabric relaxes slightly after 30 minutes of wear as it adjusts to body heat. To maintain the structural integrity of the waistband, sizing should be selected carefully to ensure the modulus of the fabric remains effective.
If you are looking for a shorter length for summer wear, the Blisset High Waisted Capris provide similar pocket functionality. Check out our wide variety of storage-friendly apparel in the athletic leggings category.
