Given the fact that I wear spandex 6 days a week I would dare to say that I’m on my way to becoming an expert in the workout pant department.
I’m very picky. In fact, I have lots of fancy pants but end up wearing my favorite pair of Nike pants from 2004 more often than not. When venturing out in public in spandex pants they’ve got to feel good! There’s nothing worse than a pair of ill-fitting spandex while on treadmill display in the middle of the weight room floor. Maybe you can relate.
So when ActivewearUSA offered to send me a pair of pants to try out, I was thrilled. And to my surprise, I LOVED them. I really love them. And am wearing them right now as I type.
They’re long capri style pants by Nina Bucci. I’ve deemed them as a great running, walking and teaching pant. Heres a little overview…
Pros:
Form fitting and suck you in in all the right places.
A good length (I’m not a fan of the capri that hugs right behind the knee).
Moisture control technology.
Slick so they won’t pill, but not overly shiny.
A hidden drawstring around the waistband.
A sleek side pocket.
Cons:
A little heavy duty & constrictive for yoga & Pilates (in my opinion).
Overall, I would definitely recommend these pants, especially for running, walking or any other active sport. I will definitely be getting another pair soon. You can find them here at ActivewearUSA.

Thanks for the review! Do they have a closed pocket for keys/phone?

Sorry for my slow reply Sara! I got some sort of spam bug in my comments and this one slipped by. These particular pants don’t have a zip pocket but the pocket on the leg is pretty deep so I wouldn’t hesitate putting a phone in there…unless you plan on flipping upside down :)
