Athleta's bottoms have been rock solid for me lately, and their new SwiftLite fabric caught my eye. Enter the velocity tights. I wanted a pair of lightweight, summer-friendly run tights and these fit the bill. Plus, the coastal teal color option really pushed me over the edge. Sure enough, these are another winner for me. Read on for more details on what makes them great to ...

Athleta Elation Tights + Capris Review
The elation lineup is one of Athleta's newest additions to their Powervita collection. The elation leggings are designed with simplicity in mind, forgoing any decorative seams or extra elements. I went a little crazy and bought these in three colors: two pairs of capris and one pair of 7/8 tights. I ended up returning one of the capris, dark may rose, but I kept auberge ...
Athleta Stripe Salutation Tight Review
Striped leggings are a staple of my active wardrobe--I'm always willing to add another pair to my collection. I had tried two pairs of Athleta's powervita tights before and neither worked, but these stripe salutations lured me in for another try. This pair finally makes it clear what all the fuss is about! A lot of people have said that powervita is similar to lululemon's nulu, except ...
Athleta Stripe Contender Tights Review
Stripes are one of my all-time favorite patterns for workout pants. When I saw these contender tights from Athleta, they had my name written all over them. I purchased these in XXS, my usual size in Athleta. In my opinion, they fit true to size. The fabric is mid-weight with good compression. The compression feels similar to lululemon's luxtreme. The fabric feels slightly thicker than ...
Athleta Luxe Stronger Hoodie Review
A few months back, I shared my review of the stronger hoodie from Athleta and how much I love mine. Athleta also makes a version of the same hoodie with plush faux fur lining, dubbed the luxe stronger hoodie. Of course I had to try it! By the way: the luxe stronger hoodie is on sale, so if you want to wear it as a jacket for chilly spring days (and hold onto it for next winter!), you can save ...
Athleta Powervita Marble Salutation Tight Review
Athleta debuted their powervita fabric last year, as an answer to lululemon's nulu fabric. It's designed primarily with yoga in mind, and aims for an ultra-soft, ultra-flexible feel while still being technical. I first tried Athleta's powervita fabric on their mesh salutation tight. I didn't write about it on the blog when I tried them, but they were a bust for me. The fit through the lower ...
