I used to be the girl in yoga class wearing clearance leggings from TJ Maxx.
I never bought high quality yoga gear for myself, thinking that it was a waste of money. I always thought, “why do I need to splurge on clothes that I’m just going to go sweat in?”
It turns out, you get what you pay for when it comes to yoga wear. Lower quality yoga gear comes with its downfalls, like non sweat-wicking fabric, loose-fitting compression and fabric that rolls the waistband.
It’s funny how we adapt to feeling uncomfortable in activewear. Once we’ve stopped our workout enough times to pull up our pants, it becomes normal.
News flash: low quality workout apparel isn’t the norm. You should be getting sooo much more out of your yoga gear!
Why high quality yoga wear matters
Practicing yoga— or engaging in any type of fitness— is supposed to be a mindful experience. Surely it goes without saying, but it’s obviously difficult to focus on the present moment when you’re constantly having to adjust your clothing!
Getting the proper attire for yoga, or your other favorite fitness activities, is important because it supports you during your workout. Often taken for granted, the sophisticated tech that comes with the price of high end yoga wear can make a huge difference in your performance.
Check out some of these specs that come with high quality workout gear. How often do you overlook this technology?
- Moisture wicking fabric — this tech prevents you from carrying around weighted sweat-soaked clothes by moving moisture away from the body, through the fabric and dispersing it into the air.
- Four-way stretch — four-way stretch fabric provides the freedom to move, bend, squat and jump in absolute comfort by allowing the fabric to be stretched both width and lengthwise. Say goodbye to restriction!
- Squat test approved — this is a HUGE one. Squat test approved means that your leggings aren’t and won’t become see-through. Have you ever tried on a cute pair of yoga leggings, then squatted only for your underwear to become extremely visible? This is quite common with cheaper yoga apparel and can be totally avoided by investing in some high quality gear!
- Thick, wide and stabilizing waistband — experience the best of core support with a thick and stabilizing waistband. This features is a total fit game changer that smooths out curves, tucks the tummy and provides maximum comfort.
- Adjustable straps and removable padding — there’s seriously nothing better than when sports bras come with customized tech. With adjustable straps and removable padding, you can create the perfect fit that will support you and your fitness goals.
This just scratches the surface of activewear tech. There’s also high performance bras that prevent bust bounce and high compression leggings that hold everything in the right place. If you want better performance and the support to carry you throughout your workout, then investing in a couple pieces of high end yoga apparel is definitely the way to go.
