Glyder Ninja Crop Legging Review

I recently received my new Ninja Crop Leggings from Glyder.  LOVE them!  The material is super soft and they fit really well.  I usually wear a size 6 and am a pear shape so I went with a size small with these crops (same size the I have in the Mantra Crops from Glyder).  The material they are made from is called Forma 101 (88% nylon, 12% spandex).  It washes extremely well - no pilling or fading.  I bought a few pairs in black.  The only other color that they come in right now is called Hot Tangerine and although they are very pretty, I just don't think that I could pull off that light of a color as a bottom so I stuck with the basic black.

As you can see, I've been taking awkward selfies again :-)  I really wanted to show how cute the gladiator cut outs on calf of these crops are!  LOVE THIS FEATURE!!  A few friends and I bought them and we love them!  These are super functional, fitting, fabulously sexy crops!  I say, if you are going to get sweaty, you might as well look good doing it!

You will notice the tank I'm wearing in these pictures is also from Glyder.  This is the Lotus Tank in Cozumel.  I love this tank so much!!!  I bought it in a size small (I wear 34C for reference) and it fits like a glove!  Great compression!  I usually wear it during strength training and yoga classes.  The material is deliciously soft!  Although this tank has bra cups in the shelf bra, it doesn't come with the cup inserts.  I have lots of inserts from other workout tanks and bras so I always add them for a little extra support.

I highly recommend the Ninja Crop Leggings if you want a great workout crop that fits well and hugs your curves.  If you are small in the hip area be sure to measure carefully and check the sizing chart on the Glyder website before purchasing.  If you are in Canada, unfortunately we don't get free shipping, but the price on these items are very reasonable, in my opinion, for the quality ($68).

I also highly recommend the Lotus tank with one drawback:  I'm short in the torso so this tank works for me (I'm 5'5 for reference) but I wouldn't want it to be any shorter, so perhaps you taller ladies may want to check the sizing chart for coverage that you are looking for.

Yogasmoga My Stripy Racerback Review

When Yogasmoga came out with their new items last month, I quickly ordered the My Stripy Racerback in Carbon 6 (PS I have a thing for stripes...LOVE them).  This particular tank was said to be made from a new material called Aurum Stripe, which was supposed to be softer and more lightweight than the original Aurum material.  I live in Canada and Yogasmoga ships out of NYC.  This tank was in my mailbox after only a week!  I usually wear a size 6 or small in workout tanks, so I ordered this one in a size 6 as well.  Perfect fit! I love the shape of this tank - it dips down in the front and back for optimal coverage.  It is long enough to skim my hip but not too long (I don't like when tanks cover my bum when I am trying to run, jump, etc while I workout).  For a reference point, I am 5'5 and short in the torso.  As you can see from the awkward selfies below (sorry, I am not an avid selfie taker ;-)) I am a pear-shaped girl and am curvy in the hip/bum area and this tank hugs my curves nicely when I workout - I need my gear to stay in place when I workout.  You will also notice that the color seems a little messed up - it's just sweat!  I had finished a crazy tough Friday morning full body class right before snapping this shot.  This new material really wicks the sweat away from your body as you work!

Love this new tank! Love this new material!  Can not wait to order another Yogasmoga My Stripy Racerback tank!  Next time I think I will go with the Verdi color!

Happy long weekend!!
