From hikes and yoga to jet-setting and workouts,<\/strong> leggings are a comfortable and functional choice.<\/strong> Despite their apparent simplicity, they’re not all alike, and there’s nothing worse than a pair of ill-fitting leggings. They ride up, squeeze tight, slide down, and need constant adjustment. It’s not only annoying, but it also gets in the way of being active.<\/p>\n That’s why we took due diligence to test as many activewear leggings — for the outdoors, workouts, and travel — as possible. After traveling, surfing, running, trekking, yoga bending, CrossFit sweating, and generally living in leggings, we narrowed down the best women’s leggings for a variety of action-packed and outdoor pursuits.<\/p>\n We’ve divided the best women’s leggings list into four categories: workout, everyday wear, yoga, and winter. Of course, some leggings intersect multiple categories, and this list doesn’t include every legging on the planet. But it’s extensive, and we created it after thorough research and first-hand experience. <\/p>\n At the end of our list, be sure to check out our comprehensive buyer\u2019s guide<\/strong><\/a>, FAQ<\/strong><\/a>, and comparison chart<\/strong><\/a>. Otherwise, read our full guide of the top women’s workout and travel leggings. <\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Note: We updated our Best Women’s Workout and Travel Leggings guide on January 30, 2024, to include the freshly tested prAna Chakara 7\/8 Legging and Kari Traa Ane Hiking Tights among many others. <\/em><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLightweight and moisture-wicking<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExtremely soft<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUltra high-rise<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNo side pockets<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The main reason the\u00a0Vuori Clean Elevation Leggings<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($98) are claiming the number one spot is that they\u2019re just so incredibly soft in addition to their durability and excellent overall fit. They\u2019re some of the most buttery leggings tested, which verifies Vuori’s claims of a soft suede feel (spot-on) made from recycled polyester and elastane.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n They are a go-to for higher-impact exercises as well as lounging and wearing out. With an ultra high-rise, thick waistband, and moisture-wicking abilities, they\u2019re great for extra-sweaty action. They also have a hidden zipper pocket in the back big enough to hold a phone. Despite the attention to detail, the price lands at under $100.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Vuori Clean Elevation Leggings<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are a true innovation, combining unmatched comfort with high-level performance capabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSuper dense material hides sweat well<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tButtery soft<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNot too thin — a pair we reach for every day, all year<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNo pockets<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDoesn't cover ankles if that's your jam<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Without hesitation, it’s easy to feel that the Nobull Women’s High-Rise Sleek Tight 25″<\/a><\/strong> ($92) has one of the highest-quality fabrics out there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n This fabric is dense and buttery all over. The legs are smooth to pull on and the seams feel bulletproof. There’s no max rep or squat rack that will make ’em burst — and we wouldn’t expect any less from an iconic gym brand like Nobull. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Frankly, this tight looks good. The seams are attractively placed and don’t rub any which way — chafing isn’t a worry. In step with the times, the waist band is wide and reaches high for plenty of backside coverage even for glute masters. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n All of the tights on this list serve a level of moisture-wicking ability but these take the lead. Even for our sweatiest athletes and workouts, we didn’t feel drenched (damp is a given) and the gusset is lined for extra protection. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n We’d happily wear these premium tights every day. The details that make this option ideal for indoor versus outdoor use: The length ends just above the ankle, so if it’s cold out, pull on longer socks. A knock of functionality from an all-around perspective? No pockets. But honestly, we don’t need <\/em>pockets in our tights most of the time, including at the gym. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Circling back to the fabric, we’re hard-pressed to find a thick, soft fabric we like more than the one used for the Nobull Women’s High-Rise Sleek Tight 25″<\/a><\/strong> for lifting at the gym, yoga class, everyday errands, or hopping on a cruiser. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLots of stretch<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInclusive sizing<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNot too expensive<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNot super durable<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Looking for a major bargain?\u00a0Then the\u00a0CompressionZ High Waisted Leggings<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($50) are for you. They look way too small the first time you see them, but whoa do they stretch! Once on, they\u2019re comfortable and stay in place.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n These are a solid, low-cost option for working out, running errands, or going out in town. We experienced a bit of pilling on the inner legs after many uses, but otherwise, they\u2019ve held up surprisingly well.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Ideal for a wide variety of uses,\u00a0the CompressionZ High Waisted Leggings<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are one of the best-designed women\u2019s leggings available today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Best Women’s Workout and Travel Leggings in 2024<\/h2>\n
