Vilgain Cotton Short
Reviews
The leggings are perfect! 😍 I have them in grey and black. As far as wearing them at home, out with the dog, hiking they are a blast. The material of the leggings is very nice - it's pure cotton, so they're nice. With pure cotton there is only a minor "problem" in the gym. Strength workout is fine, but they sweat quickly between the legs during cardio. It's quite tolerable on the black one, you can see the flak on the grey one, but hey, that's the price of being cotton :) Polyester won't do it, but polyester isn't comfortable. Btw the grey and black one looks very nice from the front, but on the brown one the front seam is visually horrible.... The leggings have an amazingly made cut that tightens your tummy and hips so you look slim, but at the same time doesn't constrict so you can last all day in them. I plan on wearing them nonstop and everywhere this summer :) so I have 4pcs of them at home. As for size I wear S-M, I took M and they fit just right. They're pretty firm, so if you're in between sizes you better reach for the bigger one like I did :) Otherwise they don't fall down at all and don't slide down, which I also appreciate as much as possible. I will definitely buy the long version as well.
Classically I have the problem that the thighs are too tight and it cuts and the waist is bigger, otherwise nice material, the black really looks like after several washes, I don't know if it's with a piece like this.
I see Aktin as a brand that engagingly motivates people to make better, healthier choices. So, I would expect to see clothes on their e-store just for people who are just starting out with exercise, therefore not in great shape. I ordered more of these shorts in the largest size, but instead of L, I would rate them more of an S. I normally wear 40-42 pants. They are made of a very tight fabric and the band around the hips reminds me more of a booster elastic. It's a shame that even people who are yet to get to a healthy body generally don't get a chance to choose from Aktin clothes.
Beautiful to look at, fits great on the body, but the material is completely unsuitable for exercise - the grey colour immediately shows wet spots on the inner thighs.
