Let me just start by saying love love love all my Sweaty Betty shorts and bras.
These leggings were SO not what I was hoping for. The issue is that the waist compression panel is only about 4 inches wide, giving support ABOVE the belly button and squishing everything below that down. This massively accentuates the belly area rather than giving me the hold and support I was looking for. So for those looking for tummy support, these are not your friend!!

Usually buy a size S. Always have done in power leggings. This last pair is more like XXS. Such a huge difference in sizing. Had to return them as faulty. Received a replacement but still coming up so much smaller!!

Was really excited for my first pair of Sweaty Betty leggings as I'd saved up but honestly couldn't be more disappointed.
Definitely not something I can wear for a proper work out - they went completely see through when I was lunging and squatting and you could see sweat marks which was just embarrassing.
Just really disappointing really.
Upside were they looked good before the workout and I like the side pocket.

Have been looking for a decent pair of leggings for running for a while now and wanted to invest in a good quality pair which wouldn't fall down or be see through. Unfortunately, although these leggings fit really well, they were not squat proof and the material felt really thin. I therefore had to return them.

I so loved these - the fit, the style, the pocket - but after wearing them twice the seam on the inner thigh ripped! Very surprised because I felt like they fit well. So, so bummed, especially for the price I paid.

Maybe I'm too used to wearing compression tights, but I find these quite loose and not 'sculpting' as advertised! I have thin calves and they are baggy around the calf. Best bits are the pockets!

The waistband sit low and this was not described in the product description.

I've worn these twice so far since purchasing, and the seams are already coming loose in multiple places! This is such a shame as I've previously bought the power leggings and they had lasted me over two years. It seems the quality of the stitching is much poorer now, I wouldn't buy these again as it's just not worth the money if they're deteriorating this quickly.

I have several pairs of Power leggings unfortunately I have had to return this pair due to the reduced quality of the fabric. They are now see through due to the lower quality of the fabric. Not the quality that you would expect from Sweaty Betty. Very sad

Disappointed. Leggings are not squat proof. See through to the point if embarrassment.

I love sweaty Betty but these leggings didn't work for me. The way the belt hugged my tummy was awkward and not flattering. Will be returning!

I own lots of power leggings and love the style and fit. Disappointed by most recent purchase in black as they seem to show the sweat despite being the darkest colour I own. I can only assume that material in this pair is either poorer quality (not as good as absorbing/wicking sweat away or cheaper thinner material). It's a shame, will have to keep as didn't know this until after I'd done my first workout.

The material has changed and therefore the fit. No way near as comfortable as my old pairs. Such a shame as these were my fave leggings.

Material is very thin, not comfy at all. Sizing is way off, I ordered a medium based on the reviews, I could barely get them on! (I'm a size 10 for context)

I used to love the power leggings , and was reliably an XS. But have ordered 2 pairs recently with ridiculously small ankles - what's going on ? I could barely get my feet through them

I love the fit and fabric of these leggings, but the second time wearing them they ripped while I was pulling them on.

Material changed and fit not the same, longer than before and baggy at ankles. Loved my previous 7/8 power leggings but my recent purchase is very different and would not buy again.

The power leggings have changed. This iteration of not as good as previous ones I have. The fabric is stiff, which makes them difficult to get on, and once on, they're not very comfortable. You don't get that lovely buttery soft feeling from previous power leggings. Have returned them.

Disappointed as you seemed to have changed the fabric. Not as stretchy or as thick and the seams have already started to fray.

I love these leggings but recently bought the vine red colour . I found the fabric a lot thicker than normal , however , when I wore then for the first time they kept falling down , uncomfortable and yes I am disappointed . Can't return them either as I have worn them .
It's a shame as I have been buying them for years and have many pairs , never had any problems before .

I bought another pair of these and they are an inch or two shorter than my other pair. I only realised this after removing the labels so I can't return them. Quite annoying.

I bought two pairs from the store a couple of years ago (made in Taiwan and then made in Cambodia), and recently ordered a new pair online. The quality of the new one which is made in China is significantly lower. Just after a few washes it is already fraying at some of the seams along the leg, unlike my older ones which have held up without any frays for years.

Baggy at the knees, haven't kept their shape and expensive considering these shortcomings
