Great leggings for bigger bums and weightlifting
Wide range of patterns, style and sizes in leggings. Good photographs to see what you are buying. Easy to sort through and select, fast order to delivery experience. Have bought before and keep going back as leggings are squat proof, gym proof, wash well, hold pattern don’t fade and don’t bobble.

Really fast service and leggings are exactly as shown online. Really long legs on the tall length. I’m 6ft with 35 inch inside leg and they fit great. Really nice fit around the waist too…my actual waist! So lovely to get a great fit…if you’re tall you’ll know the struggle 😁

Lovely designs
Lovely designs. Great to bring some colour into my running world.
I am glad I sized-up for the winter leggings, from M to L. I wish I had done the same for the capris but I can get them on, carefully! I'm on the upper limit of the M waist measurement. I'm finding the bottom of the legs a bit tight. Hopefully that will give a little in time.
Just for information - I totally forgot about import duty, ordering from Austria. I paid about a third again at the post office to collect the package. Having said that, I haven't found leggings like these locally, so worth it:)
