I could see myself living in these quite happily. I’ve heard women-I-know go on about how comfortable leggings are. Overall? I found them comfortable and easy to wear with a great range of movement, so sporty folks will be happy. I can do my thing without wondering where I left my phone and if it was somewhere stupid. An unzipped pocket isn’t anything new in sportswear, and it was sturdy and practical enough.
And it made them comfortable to wear and stopped things chafing and rubbing. More like a big hug around the calves than a tight grip. Too much mental imagery of my package in a vice (I promise that’s the last on that topic). Hot or not, the idea of ‘compression’ gear didn’t really appeal.
The Matador Meggings are designed with male anatomy in mind. And, let’s be 100% honest, it usually looks awkward too. Working out worrying about knocking your nuts isn’t fun. There’s just no way to artfully arrange yourself so it doesn’t feel awkward. One major problem in sports Men’s Leggings, for me at least, has been the pinch factor.
