What types of athletic pants does Title Nine carry?
There's no shortage of options for women looking for the right athletic bottoms for their activity. From snow-packed winter hikes to desert-bound adventures; short, cropped, or full-length bottoms; skinny fit or wide leg pants; to mid rise and high waisted shorts and pants. Title Nine's got it all so women can do it all.
But not all activewear was made for all activities. You wouldn't want to wear fleece-lined joggers to go road cycling, and you probably wouldn't wear running tights for an afternoon walk around the block. So to make your search easy, we've broken down all our athletic pant styles for you to choose the best pair for your workout.
- Running Leggings & Tights: Get a comfortable, compressive fit and quick-drying fabric to keep your legs cool and feeling good mile after mile.
- Gym Leggings: If it's training day at the gym, bring T9 along for the sweat. Our gym leggings were made for spin class, Zumba, the weight room and more, with a squat-proof, no-slip waistband and a slim-leg fit that's perfectly compressive.
- Hiking Pants: Made with breathable, durable, and abrasion-resistant fabrics to tackle the trails, T9's hiking bottoms are ready to rough it.
- Traveler Pants: The ultimate must-haves for all-day exploring and staying cool and comfortable walking through new places. Great for long airplane rides, or days that call for a mix of adventures, from the trail to downtown.
- Yoga Leggings: Pilates, yoga, barre, or running errands. If it's a low-impact workout we're going for, yoga leggings are our go-to. Keep it classic with a skinny fit, or try our buttery-soft flare leggings for a more free-flowing fit. (And if someone tries to tell you yoga pants aren't pants, you just keep on walkin'.)
- Performance Jeans: These jeans are ready to put in the work (and keep you cool). Made for the outdoors and rugged adventures, Title Nine's performance jeans act like a high-performance workout pant with the cool exterior of denim.
- Ski and Snowboard Pants: Take on some fresh pow in T9's ski and snowboard bottoms. Kill the winter chill in fleece-lined snow-ready pants that let you keep your focus on shredding, snowshoeing, or making your way to the aprés activities.
- Joggers: T9 has all kinds of joggers that are up for travel, down to chill as loungewear, or ready to take a hike in the heat or in the cold.
What are the most important features to look for in women's athletic pants?
Title Nine's range of women's pants are designed and built for performance, comfort, and all levels of activity, from low-impact workouts like yoga to high-impact movement like skiing. Aside from fit and function, here are a few key features to look for in athletic leggings, pants, and activewear:
- Moisture-wicking properties: When you're crushing a workout or hiking in the heat, you want pants that can stop sweat. All of Title Nine's leggings, running shorts, and hike pants have moisture-wicking abilities, with quick-drying fabrics that never weigh you down or slow you down.
- Breathability: From the warm up all the way to the cool down, we want our pants to be breathable. They shouldn't be so thin and light that they're see-through or easy to rip, but they shouldn't be so thick that our legs feel like they're cooking. Keep an eye out for breathable fabrics, like nylon and recycled polyester, to keep things comfortable and breezy.
- Flexibility and stretch: Almost all adventures call for flexible, stretchy workout gear that follows our every move. Title Nine's workout leggings and tights feature a four-way stretch so you can move freely and with no slips.
- Support and compression: Compression is key when it comes to women's workout leggings, whether you're running the trails, crushing it on the bike, or flowing through a yoga class. Whatever sport you're getting into, a supportive and compressive fit keeps your leggings, pants, and shorts from ripping, slipping, or slowing you down.
- Pockets and storage: Snacks, house keys, cell phones, protective gear; you name it, we've got pockets for it all. Title Nine's hiking shorts, capris, and joggers feature tons of pockets (and hidden ones, too) so you can hit the trails with all the essentials on you. Our running leggings and yoga pants also have side pockets for whatever you're carrying.
- Durable, high-quality fabrics: When it comes to finding the best workout bottoms, leggings, and work pants for women, fabric is everything. Flimsy, cheap, and low-quality fabrics just won't get the job done, and they definitely won't last for round 2. Durable fabrics like nylon, spandex, recycled polyester, and cotton will keep you moving and comfortable for tons of workouts to come.
How can I choose the right size and fit for my athletic pants?
Nothing kills our focus or messes with our performance like pants that don't fit. It doesn't matter if you're wearing high-waisted run tights, wide leg capris, or hiking joggers. If the fit's not right, it's not gonna be a good time (trust us). The size you wear for jeans, sweatpants, and trousers are typically the same as your workout pants, but different athletic pants will have different fits.
When shopping for women's activewear and performance pants, keep this in mind: high-impact activities like running, cycling, and boxing call for a more compressive fit. Your leggings or tights shouldn't be too tight, but they shouldn't fit loose, either. They should be comfortably snug from the waist down. Hitting the trail? Go for straight leg pants or joggers with an adjustable wide waistband and comfortable mid-rise fit. Heading to the pilates studio? Go for high-rise leggings with a compressive and slightly stretchy fit that let you bend and stretch any way without your leggings budging.
Try on and take your athletic pants out for a test drive. If your pants don't lose their grip, feel comfortable around the legs and waist, and can keep up with your every move, then you've got yourself a perfect pair.
Are high-waisted athletic pants better than low-waisted ones?
It all comes down to your preference. High-waisted leggings, pants, and shorts are the more popular choice among women for the coverage and comfort a high-rise fit provides. Plus, high-rise workout pants tend to stay put better compared to low-rise. Low-waisted bottoms are usually the preferred rise for sweatpants, athleisure, and more low-impact situations.
Can I wear compression leggings for everyday use as well?
Women can wear whatever they want, wherever they want. Compression leggings, like run tights and yoga pants, are comfortable whether you're working out or not. Not to mention, they're breathable and sweat wicking. We love wearing our compressive leggings to the airport, the grocery store, the movie theater, and pretty much everywhere else.
How often should I replace my athletic pants?
When the waistband has stretched out, or you notice tears and rips in your athletic pants, it might be time to swap them out for a new pair. Skip the cheap bottoms and go with pants, joggers, tights, and leggings made with durable fabrics. The better quality pants and leggings you go with, the longer they'll last, especially if you're always active.
What is the difference between yoga pants and athletic pants?
Yoga pants are technically athletic pants, but not all athletic pants are yoga pants. Yoga pants, leggings, and shorts all have a lightly stretchy and compressive fit. It's exactly what you'd want for a full hour of bending, stretching, and flexing without your bottoms slipping or ripping. These workout leggings usually have a high-rise or mid-rise fit, and range from full length to capri in slim fit, wide leg, and flare styles. And if you plan on wearing your workout leggings out after yoga, there are pairs with side pockets, too, just in case you need 'em.
Athletic pants cover the whole category of active bottoms, including leggings, trousers, joggers, tights, and pants. They're built for active women and made to perform -- wicking sweat, stopping stink, and supporting your lower half so you can go the distance, whatever your sport.
Can I wear my athletic pants for different types of workouts?
Not all athletic pants are meant for every athletic setting. You could technically wear workout leggings out on a hike, but you probably shouldn't wear compressive tights to ski (at least, not without a pair of snow pants on top). Every pair of athletic pants is made with specific features that you would want given the activity. For runners, Title Nine's joggers, tights, and leggings have a compressive fit with sweat wicking and stink stopping powers. For hikers, our Ripstop pants, shorts, and capri bottoms are light, breathable, but tough enough for the trails. The features in womens athletic bottoms are there to power your performance and give you exactly what you need to keep moving in comfort, your way.
How should I wash my women's athletic pants?
The best way to wash your athletic pants, workout leggings, and tights is to wash them with similar materials on either a delicate or activewear setting. Use gentle detergent, avoid harsh cleaners like bleach, and air dry your workout gear whenever possible. Some fabrics might call for washing by hand, but a delicate cycle typically gets the job done. Always check the care instructions on your activewear to avoid ruining your gear in the wash.
What is the best way to store my athletic pants?
There isn't really a wrong way to store your workout gear, but the best way is to keep all your athletic pants together. Folding instead of hanging should keep the elastic from overstretching, and keeping your clothing stored in a drawer avoids any risk of rips or tears from sharp objects that could be in your closet.
