The Details Make the Difference: Muscle Nation Leggings Fabrics

The Details Make the Difference: Muscle Nation Leggings Fabrics

When you’re looking to buy a new pair of leggings for the gym, there are two roads you can take. You can choose based solely on style (we all want to look good in the gym), or you can shop to find what your body needs and the materials that best work for you. It doesn’t have to be rocket science or a critical decision, but a little more research and understanding can make a world of difference in looking for your perfect fit. Gym leggings are one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing to wear, so why not find a pair that are perfect for your body and meet your needs in the gym? 

Fit for Purpose

Some people think all leggings are built the same with the same stretch, breathability, and so on. That is simply not the case. At Muscle Nation, we purposely build each type of legging to suit different needs in the gym and the needs of our customers. We have a variety of materials that we use to suit activities like heavy lifting, squatting, movement, comfort and more. Our primary legging materials are Signature, Motion, Seamless, Ribbed, Everyday Recycled and Aura. Each material offers its own benefits and features so you can decide which is the best for you and your workouts. 

Signature

Signature is the OG material across many of Muscle Nation’s leggings. Its versatility expands across scrunch and non-scrunch designs and offers a breathable and lightweight feel. Made from 87% Nylon and 13% Spandex, this material offers the perfect combination of stretch and durability in the gym with a supportive and firm feel. With a matte finish it pairs perfectly with any sports bra, top or singlet and is developed with moisture wicking so you won’t have any of those uncomfortable sweaty marks. If you’re looking for something with superior stretch, comfort, and durability, the signature material is the best choice for you.

Aura

Introducing Aura, our fabric designed to deliver a luxurious softness on the body, ensuring day-long comfort and a second-skin feeling. Whether you're engaging in HIIT training, lifting weights, practicing Pilates, or opting for all-day wear, Aura's features include no front rise seam, a high waist, non-scrunch design, a 3-layer waistband, concealed slim elastic, and mid-level support.

Seamless
