“There's just no doubt about the basic fact that these are THE gold standard. My other meggings with lesser compression are great, they do exactly what they say on the tin; but the Performance Pro meggings are just absolutely as snug as a lycra-clad bug in a spandex rug. The only thing these could do that they don't do currently is to actually imbue super powers of some description to go with the look.
While the fit is obviously tighter than the Performance meggings, just gives me that determination to drop the pesky last ~4kg that I need to shift. Dangly bits are held firmly in place and the belt-line has just that extra level of tightness above the Performance meggings for a really comfy non-slip fit.
I particularly like the subtle logo, you need a shorter top if you want it on view, but it makes that statement, "I'm not just another man in off-the-shelf exercise tights you know ..."
If there's one thing I'd like to see from Kapow in future meggings designs it would be side pockets on the thighs. The back hip pockets are fine, don't get me wrong, but it would be nice to be able to pack a couple more small items going out'n'about. I've got a reasonably fool-proof system between my meggings & man-bag in the meantime :o)
Unless you'll really struggle to find the extra few quid (or just prefer the more colourful designs on the lower compression ranges) you will NOT regret going Performance Pro. I love these, I've received compliments from friends & fellow gym-goers alike, and I will be buying another pair.”
“The pockets are clutch, the zip one is pretty standard these days but the real win is the phone pocket. The fabric stretches against your hip when you wear them and it has the effect of hugging your phone to you so it doesn't jiggle around. Genius.”
“It's madddd hard to find thick leggings i can use for rock climbing, looking forward to testing Kapows out in the wold. Did a test run at an indoor climbing wall and the abrasion resistance is legit.”
