Girlfriend Collective's Compressive Pocket Leggings set the standard for sustainable activewear with their recycled polyester fabric made from post-consumer water bottles. The medium-to-high compression provides excellent support and shaping while allowing full range of motion. Two deep side pockets securely hold phones during workouts without sagging, complemented by a hidden waistband pocket. The thick, opaque fabric passes the squat test while the high waistband offers tummy control. Available in both full-length and cropped versions, these leggings accommodate different heights and preferences.
The ethical manufacturing and size inclusivity (XXS-6XL) make them stand out in the market. While the compression feels supportive, some may find the fabric too warm for intense cardio. The leggings maintain their shape and color through repeated washes, though they take longer to dry than some technical fabrics. The sleek design and thoughtful details make these a favorite among those seeking both performance and sustainability.
