✔️ Pilling resistance: Using our abrasion machine, swatches of the same fabric are rubbed together to see if the fabric will form pills (small balls of fiber). To determine how well the fabric can return to its original shape, we release the fabric and measure the benchmarked length after one minute and one hour. ✔️ Stretch recovery: GH analysts stretch a swatch of legging fabric to a standard length for two hours. Consumer testers worked out for over 300 hours total in our most recent test. After giving feedback on whether they are comfortable, well-fitting, flattering, opaque, breathable, stylish and breathable, they have the opportunity to share open ended comments about their likes and dislikes. ✔️ Consumer feedback: Users with a range of workout routines, body types and ages gave feedback after wearing these pairs exercising. Our most recent leggings test featured 38 different pairs with over 180 testers. The Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab is comprised of workout apparel experts who put all types of exercise tights to the test in the Lab with specialized methods and equipment alongside feedback from consumer testers. We found the best leggings with pockets during our most recent test of 38 different pairs of leggings with over 150 testers. Testers wore these pairs for over 300 hours of exercise during yoga practice, HIIT workouts, weight lifting, running, Pilates classes and more. We then have consumer testers wear them during real workouts to get feedback on aspects like comfort, fit, breathability and appearance. The Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab tests workout leggings and yoga pants by evaluating things like the construction, stretch recovery, pilling resistance, moisture management, opacity and washability. Leggings and yoga pants with pockets are convenient and comfortable when you're not working out too. Even more important when exercising, leggings with pockets hold your essential items, whether you're working out at the gym or going for an outdoor run it's easy to keep your phone, keys, ID and credit cards accessible without carrying a bulky bag.
