Green+Aquamarine: Review: Sweaty Betty Yoga Shorts and Vest

Sunday 23 March 2014

Review: Sweaty Betty Yoga Shorts and Vest

This week I was very excited to receive a package from Sweaty Betty after making use of their mid-season sale. I really wanted to treat myself to the now sold out Galaxy running capri's, but in the end I settled for the purple Bikram yoga shorts and Chaturanga yoga vest top.

To test these out, I practised a short yoga session (check out Sweaty Betty's Yoga for Runners video while you're on the website!) and did a few reps of this workout to see how they held up to sweat and  a variety of exercises.


Seriously need to stretch out my warrior two pose! xD
Bikram yoga shorts:
Pro's 
  • Coped well with more intense activity and sweat. I'd be happy to go running in these.
  • Really comfortable, regardless of exercise or pose.
  • Flattering fit with pretty side detailings.
  • Technical fabric feels like it is really working for you during your workout.
  • Fit is true to size
Con's
  • While I love the cut, some may find the shorts a little too small.
Chaturanga yoga vest top
Pro's
  • Excellently cut piece, feels comfortable and technical.
  • Longer length suits yoga activities without swamping smaller proportioned yogi's
  • Shoulder straps are positioned between the shoulder blades for maximum arm movement.
  • Inner support is supportive enough not to need a light sports bra as well, useful for freedom of movement again.
Con's
  • The vest was smaller than I'd expected, so could have done with going a size up.
  • It's a minor detail, but it would be great if the top had light padding for modesty's sake.
The Bikram shorts are currently selling for £45.00. Sadly, the Chaturanga vest is sold out, but similar vests are available for £39.00-£55.00.
