PROS / IKEEP High Waist Yoga Pants with Pockets are budget friendly. They provides all the needs for yoga and gym workouts. The brushed fabric is cottony soft and breathable. Two side pockets hold essentials from studio to street, including a large iPhone.
​
CONS / The fabric attracts lint and hair. I do not recommend wearing it with pets around. Other than the black color, it shows sweat marks. The inseam is too long resulting in extra fabric bunchy at the bottom on me (I am 5'2").
​
BOTTOM LINE / I recommend IKEEP High Waist Yoga Pants with Pockets to anyone who is looking for affordable leggings without sacrificing the performance. The medium compression fabric suits for various exercises from gentle restorative yoga to high impact workouts. It is squat proof, but it doesn't mask sweat stains. I also want to point out that it attracts lint.

PROS / Yvette For A Better Day High Waist Legging is a great budget friendly pants. It covers most needs for workouts. Made with recycled polyester, the cottony fabric is four-way stretch, breathable, and squat proof. The high waist provides great coverage and support.
​
CONS / Due the the plain light color, the legging can't completely hide sweat marks. If it bothers you, please consider the black color instead. Although the 5/8" wide encased elastic band doesn't pinch my skin, I prefer an elastic-free design for ultimate comfort.
​
BOTTOM LINE / I recommend Yvette For A Better Day High Waist Legging to everyone. Not only is it high performance, but it is also budget friendly. The recycled fabric is soft, four-way stretch and breathable. It reminds me of Lululemon Luon but with more support (higher compression), which makes it suitable for various workouts.

PROS / Carbon38 Ribbed Regular Rise 7/8 Legging is four-way stretch, breathable and sweat wicking. The ribbed fabric is medium high compression, which is suitable for various exercises from yoga to high impact workouts.

CONS / The regular rise provides enough coverage; however, the encased elastic band is extremely uncomfortable. It pinches and digs into my waist. In addition to that, the legging does not mask sweat.

BOTTOM LINE / Carbon38 Ribbed Regular Rise 7/8 Legging would have been a perfect all around legging if it wasn't for the encased elastic band. The ribbed fabric offers all performance needs, including four ways stretch, breathable, and moisture wicking properties. Although it shows sweat spots, the legging is squat proof.

PROS / Made with Athleta's popular Powervita fabric, Salutation Stash Pocket II Gravel 7/8 Tight is four-way stretch, breathable and sweat wicking. It is medium high compression, which is suitable for both yoga and high impact workouts. The flat waistband provides great coverage and support.
​
CONS / This particular Powervita fabric is thicker than Salutation Tights and Elation Tights. I find it slightly too warm for sweaty practice and workouts.

BOTTOM LINE / Athleta Salutation Stash Pocket II Gravel 7/8 Tight is a versatile legging that can be worn for high intensity workouts and yoga. The improved flat waistband keeps my belly tucked in. Two stash pockets are practical and big enough to fit my iPhone 8 plus. The only downfall is the fabric being too thick.

PROS / The medium high compression fabric makes Lovewave The Jackson Pant suitable for various exercises, including yoga and high impact workouts. The high waist keeps the tummy tucked in and provides tons of support and coverage. 
​
CONS / The legging runs small, especially the waist. The V-seam of the waistband makes my tummy look bloated. While the legging masks sweat stains, it doesn't breathe well.

BOTTOM LINE / Lovewave The Jackson Pant covers basic performance needs (four-way stretch, fast dry and shape retention) for wide range of workouts; however, it fall short of the breathability. The high waist provides great support and hides the muffin top, but it doesn't flatter my body curvatures well.
