Wild South Elite Legging - Size Small
Overall Rating: 9.5/10
Initial thoughts:
I would honestly rate these as a 10, but as the first pair I have to leave a little room for growth! BUTthese are honestly some of the best leggings I've worn. I pulled them on and they fit comfortably snug - not too tight, but definitely not going to fall off. They have that buttery, naked feeling to them (iykyk). They are thick enough that they're certainly not see through and don't feel like my finger's going to punch through them. BUT they're still breathable. I could quite frankly live in these:)
Fit:
As a 5'2 gal, a lot of leggings tend to roll up at the ankles. These fit right at the ankle with no rolling AND fit my quads and waist. They cover right above my belly button, and stay snug in all the right places.
Fitness Test:
I put these leggings through the gambit - I wore them through heavy squats, burpees, handstand push ups, rowing, and GHD sit ups and they didn't move a bit. No tugging or pulling. They stayed snug the entire time. The crotch stayed up BUT they also didn't have a camel toe. Often when I'm on the rower for a while, the waistband of leggings rolls down. These didn't move a bit - they stayed securely right above my belly button for my entire session.
10/10 Would recommend to a friend
Wild South Ribbed Tank - Size Small
Overall Rating: 9.5/10
Initial Thoughts:
I'm notorious for ripping my shirt off the second I get too hot (not to be dramatic). I HATE the feeling of being suffocated by clothes. Even if it's a crop top - the feeling of thick fabric on my chest is killer.
This might be the first top I kept on for my entire session:) I barely noticed it was on and it looked SO fckin cute.
Fit:
As a girlie with lats, big shoulders (ok not huge but we’re working on it), and small boobs - sometimes tops can be hit or miss. If the straps dig into my shoulders I get so annoyed. Or if the tank is too compressive and I can't breathe I'll rip it off. But Wild South nailed it - the fabric's tight enough that it fits snug to my chest, but light enough that I forget it's on.
Fitness Test:
I wore a bra that was a little loose (oops - just doing my best out here. ALSO this was not a Wild South bra - more on this one later) and the tank kept the girls in. There's nothing worse than a nip slip in the middle of handstand push ups, but I felt secure the whole time. Secure BUT not suffocated.
I'm also about to buy this tank in every color:)
