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 / Made with an unique faux leather coated fabric, CRZ YOGA Coated Faux Leather Legging is lightweight, four-way stretch and breathable. Not only is it stylish, but it also covers basic needs for various workouts.
​
CONS / The legging is not flattering on me. It doesn't shape nor lift the butt, and the encased elastic waistband digs in to the skin. 

BOTTOM LINE / Unfortunately, CRZ YOGA Coated Faux Leather Legging does not work for me due to its unflattering fit. That being said, it is a stylish legging featuring four-way stretch and great breathability. For $24, it has you covered from studio / gym to street.

PROS / 90 Degree by Reflex Star Printed High Waist Ankle Legging covers most performance needs for yoga. The Interlink fabric is four-way stretch and medium low compression. It is lightweight and breathable, which helps me to stay cool from the sweaty practice.

CONS / The legging doesn't give a flattering fit. Not only doesn't it sculpt the butt, but the waistband also digs in to the skin. The fabric does not hide sweat stains.

BOTTOM LINE / Unfortunately, 90 Degree by Reflex Star Printed High Waist Ankle Legging doesn't work for me. Although it covers basic needs for yoga, it fall short on the fit and the comfort. The Interlink fabric is four-way stretch and breathable, but it is rougher than most athletic fabrics I've tried (I am used to the silk soft and naked sensentaion materials). 

PROS / Made with the sleek, medium compression fabric (similar to Lululemon Nulux), CRZ YOGA Naked Feeling High Waist Legging - 25 Inches is great for both yoga and gym workouts. It is stretchy, breathable, sweat wicking and fast dry. I like how the high waist keeps everything tucked in and the elastic-free design doesn't pinch the skin.

CONS / The fabric isn't cut perfectly resulting in triangle pieces hanging along the seam on the inside of the legging. The good news is that there is no impact on its appearance, fit and performance. 

BOTTOM LINE / CRZ YOGA Naked Feeling High Waist Legging is a great dupe of Lululemon WU HR Tight Nulux. For $24, it provides literally everything I need for various exercises, including asana practice, HIIT and weight lifting. Moreover, it keeps my belly tucked in and gives a flattering fit.
