Customer Reviews Sweaty Betty Power 7/8 Workout Leggings

I am sure as exercise leggings go they are probably great but they are very tight even though I sized up. I suffer a stomach issue and these therefore were returned sadly

I have always bought the power leggings but the most recent purchases have shown a real decline in quality and material, they are now very thin and very quickly bag round the knees from movement. Previous ones with better quality material (and at the time cheaper than they are now) were perfect- bring them back please!!

I got another pair from my husband for Christmas & im so disappointed! They're not as soft as the other style, so rigid and the waistband constantly rolls down on these newer version. Such a shame as I live in my old pair of power leggings.

Hole in after one wear! Such a shame that the material seems to have changed. These used to be amazing

I bought these in store with advice on sizing etc. Lovely leggings, great length and like the material. However the seams have become very frayed around the bum and down one of the legs. Very disappointing considering the price.

I'm a loyal sweaty betty purchaser, and I bought a new pair of black powers. When comparing them to my older paid, they are vastly different in material and texture, as well as massively different in size. The XL is so tiny and when holding them up to my original pair are at least 2 inches smaller. The 7/8 are also about an inch shorter than my old pair. For a company that I believe markets body positivity and clothing larger bodies - this is a cop out. Do better sweaty betty.

These are not the same anymore and fitting not well ever since been made in Vietnam not Cambodia, returned sad as used to love these so carry on with old ones.

Unravelling stitching before I've even gone for my first run in them. Shocked at the quality considering the price.

To be fair I'm yet to have my issue resolved or review by SB. Having only emailed in this week, just so happens to be the same week I'm asked to review so here I am. I love these leggings and they are a treat to myself every couple of years as that how long they last me! But my most recent pair are already unthreading along the front stomach to crotch area. I'm hope if this will be quickly resolved and replaced with another pair.. in which case I shall revisit this review.

I tried two sizes of the Power 7/8 leggings and found them loose an d guppy around my ankles and baggy behind my knees and thighs. I wanted a pair so badly. Had to return them. Disappointing.

I'm very disappointed Purchased the power leggings as I have previously in a size medium but the sizing is different, much smaller and the fabric is thinner. I took tags off as I expected them to be as my previous pair but they felt very tight and thin. I'm so disappointed and won't be buying from you again. A waste of my money

These tore the second time I wore them. The waist is really blucky and the rest of the leggings are so sheer.

Sizing now an issue. I have medium leggings from SB bought pre pandemic. And they still fit despite the weight gain. The medium now is tiny and the material is thinner in the power series.

I'm uk size 12. I usually but size 'L' and they fit fine. Just ordered the same and they are tiny - I've compared the size label on inside of waist with my old pair. A 'L' used to be US size 12 and is now showing US size 10. So do I order an 'XL' - uk size 16-18! When I'm UK size 12! Also, have this recycled material - feels so flimsy and has strange coating. They are far too expensive to be made from recycled material.

I have had loads of Powers, they are my go-to. However the navy blue ones I just bought are see through when you bend over! Definitely not squat proof or decent!

Disappointed, seam on front leg frayed without even having worn them

I have 5 pairs of the power leggings. First 3 pairs are between 2-3years old and still in great condition. I brought another pair in autumn 2022 and one this year (spring) and I've seen the changes in each. Your quality is going downhill. I have seen the stitching especially in the crotch area showing signs of unraveling, and that was after a few wears. My much older ones do not have this problem. The material is definitely a different thickness, sorry SB but I have hardly worn one of the pair from last year, keeping it for occasional wears to hang on to it, but compared to what I have received today you have made further quality changes to the material and now the sizing has now shrunk. I have measured a one inch difference on the waist. I have always been a sml, but I could even get them on!! So annoyed. I can't believe this. I have always loved SB leggings but thats it no more. I gave up on yourGary yoga pants this year for the same thing. They have suffered the same fate on material changes. I will be looking elsewhere now.

I purchased 2nd pair off power legging, 1st pair were amazing, this pair material is thinner and second time puttingbthem on my finger when straight through them and theres a hole, absolutly gutted, 88 pounds

I have bought these leggings in the past and the quality is usually amazing and they are my favourite style of leggings. However the last three pairs of sweaty betty leggings I have bought the quality has been sub standard. Really disappointed on the fifth wear a tiny hole has formed on the leg and the quality is awful.

I've been exclusively wearing Sweaty Betty leggings for years and currently own over 10 pairs of the same size. They used to be super comfortable, flattering and last for years. This new pair I have recently purchased in my usual size are completely different. They are really uncomfortable, not breathable at all and leave me feeling really sweaty. I can see from the label that they are now made in a different country / factory. Very sad to say this will be my last pair.

Leggings were a lovely fit and shape, however after two weeks they got significantly torn as I walked passed something. I didn't even feel what it was but had a large hole in the leg. They may be power leggings but I was really disappointed how unpractical they were. Compared to other brands at less than half the price, these haven't lasted well.

Love the fit of these by the smell is so terrible I cannot imagine wearing them. A bit concerning to put something on my body with such a strong chemical smell. Returning ASAP

Ive returned my last order as the quality isn't the same & im 5ft 2" the 7/8 length were far too short

I started to put them on and I could hear the seams popping. Same size I've always bought. They are more expensive than ever and the quality is just worse than it was 1,2 years ago.

Love the leggings so comfy but unfortunately after first wash as per wash instructions seam fraying. Unusual and disappointing as have had another pair for a few years and no problem
