Frequently Asked Questions

▾
The leggings are constructed from a blend of recycled polyester and elastane—75 % polyester and 25 % elastane for the US/Mexico version, and 74 % polyester with 26 % elastane for the Latvia version. This mix gives stretch, moisture-wicking performance, and a soft handfeel.
Does the leggings provide sun protection?
▾
Yes, the fabric is rated UPF 50+, which blocks more than 98 % of ultraviolet radiation. This level of protection is built into the material, so you can wear the leggings for outdoor runs, cycling, or any activity under strong sunlight without additional sunscreen on the covered areas.
How does the flared cut affect performance?
▾
The flare begins at the knee, giving extra room for calf muscles to expand during strides, which reduces friction and chafing on long runs. It also adds a retro aesthetic that transitions smoothly from workout to casual wear, making the leggings versatile for both gym and street.
Is there a pocket for essentials?
▾
A discreet interior pocket is sewn into the double-layered waistband, allowing you to store small items such as keys, cards, or cash. The pocket is hidden from view, preserving the sleek silhouette while offering convenient on-the-go storage. It stays secure even during vigorous movement, so you won’t lose items while exercising.
Can I wash them in a machine?
▾
Yes, the leggings are machine-washable on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners to preserve the elastane’s elasticity. Hang dry or tumble on low heat; high temperatures may affect the UPF coating over time.
