Outdoor Voices Comparing Review + Q&A
I had you lot guys mail inward questions for my Outdoor Voices review in addition to whew were in that location a lot!! Thank you lot guys hence much for sending those in. I hopefully covered everything you lot demand to know most the dissimilar styles of tops in addition to bottoms of OV I own!
In Red: TechSweat Crop Top / TechSweat 7/8 Leggings
I went dwelling in addition to tried them on in addition to over the side past times side few weeks tried them out inward my workout classes. I had ii TechSweat crops (which are the same equally the cherry-red padded bra above) in addition to ii pairs of the 7/8 warmup leggings (like the grayness above). And almost instantly, I was pretty hooked.
Then came the holidays in addition to they had their Black Friday/Cyber Mon sale in addition to I snagged some to a greater extent than goodies in addition to inward the novel twelvemonth they had 1 concluding sale in addition to thats when the obsession actually became real. OV had taken over my workout wardrobe in addition to I constitute myself constantly reaching for them in addition to eventually getting rid of a ton of other leggings!
TechSweat Crop (bra): I get why they desire to telephone band it a crop top but actually it's a long bra. And it's my favorite thing out of all my Outdoor Voices. It's inanely comfortable, it fits inward all the correct places in addition to has cups! There are some cons equally well, which we'll speak most below, but overall I give this an A!
Sizing: I vesture a grand but could in all probability move alongside a small. If you're inward betwixt sizes, size down. It is real stretchy hence you'll live good! I personally don't similar my tops also tight hence the extra room is what I like. I'm a M/6 inward tops in addition to a 34DD inward bras.
Great For: Lounging, Barre, Yoga, Pilates
Pros:
High Neckline -- I dear how high this piece of job is. For the larger chested girls you'll live alongside me on this! The last thing I desire is to live worrying most inundation or popping out during workout. Now I tin exercise planks in addition to mount climbers without issue.
Coverage -- The means this bra is cutting around the front, top, sides in addition to dorsum is flattering for whatever trunk type (IMO) -- peculiarly for mine! I discovery my dorsum is much to a greater extent than probable to coil over than my forepart in addition to this bra does a swell chore of roofing all of that up!
Comfort -- Like I said above, this bra is really comfortable. It's real stretchy in addition to breathable which I similar a lot when working out. This also becomes my go-to bra when I'm lounging around at dwelling because it gives me but the correct amount of back upwards without existence also much.
Cons:
The Cups -- So this exclusively happens inward 1 of my iii TechSweat bras but the cups tin instruct rolled upwards inward the launder in addition to instruct indented (or heavily wrinkled) hence it looks weird through the bra. It shows through in addition to tin but similar you lot receive got winkled boobs lol. But again, this exclusively happens inward 1 of them hence to live rubber I but receive got out the cups earlier wash!
Not For High Impact -- I know this is a bra in addition to it has cups but it is non for whatever high touching workouts similar running or jumping. At to the lowest degree non for girls alongside a larger chest. But I may live a flake biased inward this subdivision because I demand actually supportive bras (like my go-to wacoal bra)
Arm Holes -- I volition acknowledge these are large but I'm non certain if I intend that because I could size downward or if they are actually also large. I discovery myself pulling them upwards inward yoga (when I'm moving upside downward a lot) in addition to inward Barre but never plenty to the betoken where I'm annoyed past times it.
TechSweat Leggings: (2018 version) So when I went to link these I constitute that they came out alongside a novel version that has a dissimilar waist band. I'm reviewing the version from 2018 that doesn't receive got a dorsum steal in addition to has a modest white band you lot tin conform (that I don't) inward the front.
Sizing: I vesture a grand (my normal size) but could in all probability instruct away alongside a modest because of how stretchy these are. I'm a 29/L/8 inward bottoms.
Great For: High impact, Running, Lounging, Barre, Yoga, Pilates, Dance
Pros:
Comfort -- Like the top, these pants are insanely comfortable. They motion alongside you lot in addition to real breathable. The bottom ii pros variety of autumn into this category (or at to the lowest degree assist it!) hence you lot tin instruct what I'm saying.
Cooling -- The TechSweat stuff makes it real cooling for when you're hot in addition to sweaty later workout. It volition never over rut you lot or trap inward rut during workout. Not ideal for commuting inward wintertime because it's mutual depression temperature but volition live peculiarly swell inward the summertime in addition to hot yoga!
Stretchy -- I but dear how stretchy the stuff is. Going dorsum to the comfort aspect, you lot tin exercise whatever motion inward them without worry in addition to without restriction. In the colors I have, they all overstep the squat exam but tin encounter how if they are already tight they may non (I've gotten messages proverb they don't).
Cons:
Thin -- this goes alongside the cooling in addition to stretchy material, but these leggings are sparse inward material. Not equally inward they are encounter through but to a greater extent than inward the fact that they present lines from underwear. All of the undergarments I vesture are hanky panky mode in addition to you lot tin encounter bumps in addition to lines through the pants. Something that annoyed me at get-go but I eventually got over. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few lines wont halt me from wearing these pants!
Waistband -- This mode has a flake of a wonky waistband (which, I assume, is why they updated it for 2019) where it variety of puckers around the top. It has this weird white stretchy band within (pictured above) that I intend doesn't assist the province of affairs but I assume is in that location to assist the pants remain up. Because they are hence stretchy, in addition to perhaps because I could size down, the waistband does autumn some. Not an annoying amount but in that location volition definitely live times where I demand to readjust during class.
Short -- These are the exclusively leggings from OV that are shorter than the balance in addition to I'm non certain why! It's non halt of the globe curt but they are a span inches shorter than the 7/8 leggings.
Athena Crop (bra): This is their most pop mode in addition to I tin encounter why. It's a swell stuff that is thick hence you lot don't present through in addition to experience supported but sparse plenty (read: non lined) hence it doesn't experience heavy. In damage of back upwards it's MUCH to a greater extent than supportive than the TechSweat but yet non something I would personally vesture for HIT or trip the calorie-free fantastic toe classes where I'm jumping around a lot. But again, I'm real sensitive to that in addition to require heavy duty support!
Sizing: I vesture a grand in addition to intend it fits great. I'm a M/6 inward tops in addition to a 34DD inward bras.
Great For: Lounging, Barre, Yoga, Pilates
Pros:
Comfort -- Again, real comfortable in addition to a bra I similar to vesture around the identify when I'm home. It's a dissimilar variety of comfort from the TechSweat equally the materials are so different but it's yet super comfortable. It holds you lot inward in addition to makes you lot experience secure without trying to suffocate you.
Length -- Like the TechSweat above, I similar the length on this bra/crop. It comes downward depression plenty that I experience adept most the amount of coverage I receive got betwixt the top in addition to the bottoms. Less peel to coil over is e'er a adept thing!
Thickness -- This stuff is a compression mode stuff in addition to alongside that the thickness makes it experience real heavy duty. Not inward the feel that it's hot or heavy (it's real light!) but inward the feel that you'll experience totally fine in addition to comfortable wearing a bra without whatever cups. No headlights peeking through!
Cons:
Not For High Impact -- Again, non for high touching for me at least. Nothing alongside jumping (like my 305 classes) but when I exercise burpees or mount climbers inward my other classes I receive got no issue. It is to a greater extent than supportive than the TechSweat I believe because it doesn't stretch equally much hence there's actually no where for them to go. I intend inward damage of high coverage support, these would live swell for girls alongside smaller chests.
Tight (not inward the means you lot think) -- The material, similar the leggings, is a compression style. So they volition concord you lot inward in addition to non motion much. With this, it will flatten your chest. This tin live a pro for some in addition to a con for others -- honestly I'm inward the middle on this. I don't remove heed it because I'm non trying to live super curvy inward class. It doesn't wound or build anything uncomfortable, but something to note!
Armpit Cut -- the armpit cuts are variety of depression on the front. It doesn't bother me personally but I receive got friends who complain most some armpit fatty hanging over. Just felt similar I needed to lift it!
7/8 Warmup Leggings: I experience similar these were actually the leggings that got me into Outdoor Voices. They are hence dissimilar than most of the workout leggings I ain in addition to I actually similar them for that reason. They concord you lot inward in addition to I but experience good when I vesture them. They come upwards high waisted in addition to remain high waisted which I real much love.
Sizing: I vesture a grand (my normal size) in addition to they are tight. If you lot are in-between sizes, I would propose sizing up. I'm a 29/L/8 inward bottoms.
Great For: Lounging, Barre, Pilates
Pros:
Compression -- If you lot desire a legging that volition suck you lot inward in addition to move on you lot put, these are them! The compression is hence adept (almost also good, encounter below) that when you're inward - you're in. Not moving shaking or stepping out of identify inward these which I love. Especially around the breadbasket area!
Stays Put -- Like above, they remain inward 1 identify in 1 lawsuit you lot receive got them on. I don't ever experience similar these actually autumn downward since they tin live hence tight in addition to compressing. Really swell for classes similar Barre in addition to Pilates.
Squat Proof -- The opaqueness of these leggings are great. You can't encounter through them no affair how far they may stretch!
Cons:
Compression -- Sometimes they tin but live also tight. I don't similar wearing them to yoga because I demand to live able to motion more. Same thing to bed, I don't similar wearing them to slumber because they tin live also tight over time. There is a fourth dimension in addition to identify for compression in addition to I don't intend those are the times!
Hard To Put On -- Because of the compression aspect, they tin live hard to position on -- peculiarly when you lot get-go instruct them in. I experience similar they exercise stretch out over fourth dimension which helps but it's real minimal. I experience similar it's the same variety of stretch you lot instruct alongside shoes. They stretch to your trunk in addition to form but never move past times that. They actually exclusively instruct amend alongside wear!
Can Show Sweat -- One of the biggest concerns I got from my Q&A is if whatever of these present sweat. YES they all do! All workout wearing clothing present travail in addition to sweating, peculiarly during workout is NOTHING to live ashamed of. No 1 is judging you lot for sweating during a workout. I exercise believe that a lot of it has to exercise alongside the color of item you're wearing but but wanted to greenback that of these in addition to the TechSweat, the warmup leggings present travail more.
FAQ: (answered all of them above, but for a quick hitting hither are the most unremarkably asked questions!)
Squat Test: I receive got never had whatever issues alongside either styles! They overstep the squat exam for me (the warmups to a greater extent than hence than the TechSweat)
Sizing: I'm a grand inward all workout wearing clothing in addition to an 8 inward Lulu. I vesture a grand inward OV but for to a greater extent than in-depth details, delight read the sizing blurbs above!
OV compared to Lululemon: I don't ain anything Lulu hence I can't compare, I'm sorry!
Sweat Test: Lighter colors volition present travail no affair what you lot do. The TechSweat is amend most non showing than the warmups/athena but all volition present travail (hot yoga makes everything show). Compared to cheaper brands (like Old Navy), the OV exercise a adept chore at hiding it than most.
