When it comes to jogging, an infinite number of obstacles can come between you and a fantastic workout. While injuries like shin splints and muscle tears rank among the most serious, smaller wardrobe-based annoyances can also take you out of the zone. Consider leggings: The incorrect pair of tights might leave you feeling more uncomfortable than empowered — that’s just what Lululemon considered while creating a legging made for runners.
Having launched just last week, the Lululemon SenseKnit High-Rise Running Tight checks all the boxes necessary in a great jogging tight. It offers the brand’s SenseKnit technology, a quick-drying fabric that’s noteworthy for its breathability and compressive support, plus a high-rise waistband with a continuous drawcord to prevent slippage, and even a small envelope pocket to store your keys. While these tights come in three dark shades, rhino gray, charged indigo, and black, reflective details at the ankles aid night runners (although you may want to check out a bright workout top for extra safety). And like so many of Lululemon’s iconic leggings, this performance pair is inseam-free and buttery-soft.

The greatest part? Customers claim they live up to the buzz. “I have exercised in these leggings a few times doing high-intensity workouts and a lot of cardiovascular exercise, and they have performed SO well,” wrote one purchaser. Another reviewer said these provided them with the “finest behind ever” because they “compress your posterior in all the correct places” and are “unequivocally the greatest pants ever.” (By the way: You need to check out these shapewear leggings celebrities can’t get enough of.)
