Tights and leggings for yoga, fitness, running and cycling

Tights and leggings

Leggings are practical sports trousers made of elastic materials that are slim-fitting on the body and guarantee maximum freedom of movement for indoor and outdoor sports. Because the leggings fit "tight", the skin-tight trousers are also called tights. There are leggings and tights designed especially for women, men and kids. They are used for different sports and are optimised for different areas of use.

Companies such as Mandala, Röhnisch or SuperNatural offer sporty leggings such as fitness tights, trekking tights, yoga leggings, climbing tights, running tights, trail running tights and cycling leggings. All sports leggings are equipped with a special design, individual details and functional features for their respective sport.

Leggings for yoga and running

Yoga tights usually reach to the ankles or come in 7/8 length. With a high waistband, flat seams and good ventilation, they offer very good support and a super fit on the yoga mat. Alternatively, slightly wider cut yoga pants are also available for yogis.

Fitness and running tights are often not cut quite as high across the hips as skin-tight yoga pants. Instead, the sporty tights for running and trail running have mesh inserts for ventilation, which often provide good ventilation at the back of the knees. In small pockets in the waistband, there is enough space in fitness leggings for a map and keys.

Hiking tights and tight cycling trousers

The freedom of movement that tights provide when hillwalking and trekking is making these slim-fitting hillwalking bottoms increasingly popular. Thanks to more robust materials and reinforcements on the knees and seat, the trekking tights are able to withstand the stresses and strains of hillwalking.

Tights and leggings for road cycling and mountain biking can be recognised by their integrated seat pad. The pad dampens vibrations and ensures a comfortable ride on the bicycle saddle. While road cyclists usually go for knee-length or ankle-length tights for optimal aerodynamics, mountain bikers protect their tights by additionally wearing robust MTB shorts over their cycling trousers.
