athletic clothing - reviews
these are great
As with all the Athleta clothing I have bought I am extremely happy. I am 5'10 and 145 and the size medium fit perfectly. Highly recommend for running around in and exercising! Worthwhile purchase!
Love these ...
I was very leery to spend so much for a pair of exercise ... Once I wore them I discovered these were well worth the extra $$. Good quality, does not bag & stretch out after a good workout, very comfortable, and looks good on. The pockets are a bonus. Don't usually like pockets on this type of clothing, but they are so flat you forget they are there. I'm a bigger gal, thicker around the middle, and athletic thighs. These fit good and no "muffin top". I will get another pair. Definitely recommend these for hard workouts,hiking, or casual dress.
excellent ...
Good for all activities in tempatures above 60 degrees. I wear them under my ski pants and then out to dinner. I am 5'7" 125 lbs with athletic build and the small (4-6) fit well. Very dignified for us over 49 years old. They work for everything .Add a nice top to dress them up.They work well for Mountain biking, and hiking. Get at least one pair in black.
Great ...
Flattering in al the right places, comfortable, and make of genius material. I bought a Small, being a 4P in most clothing. I plan to buy at least one more color. I highly recommend these ...
Love these
True to size. Not binding. Look fabulous on can even be worn for going out and about. Love the material looks higher end clothing. Love these very pleased.
Surprisingly flattering for a pear shape!
I was prepared to not like these ... because of the stretchy material, but they're great! The fabric is wonderful; super stretchy, soft & comfy. Ordered these for an upcoming vacation; I wanted summer clothing that was versatile, would travel well & stand up to heat/humidity. I'm very out of shape due to a recent injury; I'm 5'9", about 20 lbs overweight right now (wear a size 8-10/M under normal circumstances) & hippy/pear shaped with a lovely new stomach bulge--yay, aging! Had no idea what size to order, so I whipped out the tape measure & went to the size chart (VERY helpful, btw). Ordered the XL & I'm glad I did. It says "semi fitted," but it should say "fitted"--these ... definitely hug the rear & hips, at least on me. But the color (I ordered black) & the pockets/stitching help camouflage any lumpy parts, thankfully. These are very flattering ... but if you're hippy/pear shaped, order a size UP! Love the side slits at the knee. Like other reviewers, the only thing I would change is to add a drawstring at the waist--once these get stretched out and/or I lose a few pounds, I don't think the non adjustable waist will stay up. Overall these are great, versatile ... pack/travel well, & I plan on wearing them a LOT--for walking, hiking, yoga, running errands, hanging out & traveling. I may even order another pair!
Great, but not for climbing
These are a great fit for my petite frame and very flattering with soft fabric The medium fits great (5'3", 134 lbs). I purchased them for rock climbing as they had longer length and wouldn't ride up in my harness; however, dirt and plant matter stuck to them like a magnet. They are not for climbing as suggested in the description. Even after washing, I spent quite a bit of time performing microsurgery with a tweezer to get the plant matter unstuck. These are not for activities where you may get dirty! I find the new fall Athleta catalogue comical with the models with various climbing gear that would clearly not work- for example a model wearing a skirt. I love Althleta skirts, but rock climbing is one thing you cannot do in a skirt (the harness!). Maybe some Athleta staff should actually try rock climbing before selling clothing targeting climbing.
nearly perfect ...
I have a 32" inseam and the length hits right at top of my knee. They look good on fitted but not too tight. My only complaint would be that there be a drawstring to cinch the waist. And as with many clothing items I ordered two mediums and one is bigger than the other. I am 5'7" 144 and the medium fit good except maybe a little loose at the waist. the small fit me but snugger then I like.
Bettona style is great but watch the sizing
I love the entire bettona collection. However, watch the sizing. The size chart indicates that size S is 4-6 but I found the small to be more like a size 8. I am normally a size 4. 5'5" athletic build 128 lbs. I returned the original pair and went with XS and this was perfect.
Cute ... but wrong cut for my body
I purchased these ... small, which is the size that I usually wear in Athleta bottoms. I'm 5'5" and weigh 130 pounds. I have an athletic build and definitely carry my weight in my tummy and thighs. These ... fit me, but they were tight around my thighs and then flared out just above my knees. This silhouette just isn't flattering on my figure. The waist was just right for me. Instead of ordering another pair in a larger size, I opted for another style of ... general, I liked the look of these ... would have used them for yoga and day to-day stuff. The quality and styling are great, but the fit was all wrong for me!
These SHOULD be fantastic
I wanted to love these -- the color, the fabric and the cut seems like such a great idea, however, the waist is so HUGE on these they are unwearable. I can't figure out how athletic shorts should have such a loose waist. I believe that if you did any type of activity in these they would fall off! I have an average athletic build so I ordered the M, they fit great in the legs and butt ..so I don't think ordering a small would fix the situation. So dissapointed.
