Women's running trousers and leggings
Women's running trousers and leggings include long leggings, 7/8, 3/4, capris, winter leggings and joggers, from adidas, Elite Lab, Odlo, Gore, Asics, Puma, Mizuno, Erima or The North Face.
Fit, opacity and warmth: the criteria that make a good running legging.
High Waist and Opacity
The women's running leggings are first judged by their waistband: a high and wide waist keeps the belly in without squeezing and doesn’t roll down during the run, with an inner drawstring for adjustment. Its opacity can be checked by bending forward: a dense fabric, like on the adidas Adi365 or Asics, remains opaque when stretched. The side pockets hold a phone against the thigh without bouncing around.
Lengths: Full, 7/8, 3/4, and Crop
The full leggings cover the entire leg for winter. The 7/8, like the adidas Adi365, stops above the ankle, suitable for mid-season and a more modern look. The 3/4, like the Elite Lab X1 or Mizuno, and the crop, like the Erima Performance, stop below the knee, for runners who get warm in the calves and for spring outings.
Winter Leggings and Trousers
The thermal leggings, like the Elite Lab Run X2 or the Odlo Fundamentals Active Warm, have a brushed inner side that retains heat, and the windproof models, like the Elite Lab Windblock, add protective panels on the front of the thighs. The lightweight jogging trousers, like the Odlo Zeroweight, which are looser, are suitable for warm-ups and for runners who prefer non-fitted styles. A legging can be washed at 30 degrees, without fabric softener.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to stay warm while running in cold weather?
A thermal legging with a brushed inner keeps the heat against the skin while wicking away sweat. Pair it with a technical base layer, a windbreaker, gloves, and a headband to cover your ears.
Legging or shorts for running?
The legging supports the muscles, protects from the cold, and prevents chafing between the thighs; the shorts provide better ventilation in hot weather. Many female runners switch to short or three-quarter legging in mid-season.
How to choose the size of running leggings?
They should hug the skin without wrinkles or marks, and the waistband should stay in place without rolling during the run. If you are between sizes, test the stretch: if the fabric becomes transparent when stretched, choose the larger size.
Can running leggings also be used for yoga or fitness?
Yes, a high-waisted, opaque, and stretchy running legging is very suitable for fitness and yoga. Models with side pockets remain practical for keeping your phone and keys handy in the gym.
How to wash a legging without it pilling?
Turn it inside out, wash at 30 degrees with synthetic fabrics, without fabric softener or hook-and-loop clothes, and air dry. Friction against rough fabrics and the heat from the dryer speeds up pilling.
