Tights guide - Choose the best training tights

by Simon Hallberg in Inspiration

To think about

Buying tights is not really as simple as just deciding which color or model you like best. Instead, ask yourself what activity you will primarily use your tights for.

All activities become a little easier if you use products that are adapted to the purpose. If you are going to be outdoors at night, you need to be visible. Then you need tights with reflectors. Do you need to carry keys or a phone with you? Then you need a pocket to store it in, for example. Is it time for a tough workout in the CrossFit box? Then you need a pair of tights that stay in place.

Tights should fit snugly, otherwise they look like jogging pants that are too small. That's why they're called tights. They should fit snugly against your body and not flap when you move. It's a pain if tights fit well in the legs but loose in the crotch and waist, in which case you will, regardless of activity, have to pull them up all the time. It may then be because it's not just the size that's wrong, but that particular model doesn't suit you because we all look different.

Tights for all occasions

Choose tights that are "top of the line". Tights that are multifunctional with a wide range of uses that are really well thought out. They should have a perfect fit, stay in place and of course be stylish. They should be made of a functional and flexible material. They should be available in several different lengths and colors. They should work just as well at the gym as at home on the couch. We recommend you choose Fuse tights! Our by far most popular model with a 4.7/5 customer rating. They are also available in several lengths, colors and sizes.

Tights for relaxed days

Choose regular tights that are comfortable. Preferably a ribbed model that doesn't have seams that chafe and also shapes and highlights your curves. Our tip is Luma ribbed seamless tights!

Tights for strength training

Choose tights that are comfortable and flexible and guaranteed squat proof. Extra compression at the waist to keep the tights in place. Choose Victory seamless tights!

Running tights

Choose tights with pockets where you can stash your keys and phone. A drawstring waist is a must because if there's ever a time when tights can slip down, it's when running. Our favorite is the Charge tights.

Shorter tights for warmer weather

Choose tights that are suitable for both high-intensity training, gym, running and walking. Buy tights that are breathable, shorter and have smart storage. High waist and drawstring are a must when running, for example. Choose Bike pocket shorts or Fuse bike shorts!

Tights for colder weather

Choose tights that are suitable for both running, walking and skiing. Feel free to buy tights with reflectors so that you are visible. A brushed inside for extra comfort and warmth and a drawstring at the waist are also preferable so that they stay in place. Pockets for smart storage of keys, mobile phone or wallet are a must. Choose Visual winter tights or Mood pants!

Tights for the basic wardrobe

We have to say it again. You can never compromise on the quality of a pair of training tights. That's why if you're going to buy a pair, it should be a model that has multiple uses. Our absolute most popular model is Fuse tights. If you're going to choose a model, choose this one! Plus, it comes in several different lengths and colors.

Clothes for training in the cold

Working out outside in the cold can be tough, but it's also a chance to strengthen both body and mind. With the right clothing, it's not only possible, but really comfortable. At CLN Athletics, we have a long history of developing workout clothes that work when the weather is challenging. Experience shows that layering is key. A base layer in technical material wicks away moisture, a warming mid layer keeps you comfortably warm, and an outer layer protects against wind and moisture. It creates a balance where you can move freely, without freezing or getting too hot. We design our garments with both function and feel in focus: a fit that follows the body, materials that breathe and last a long time, and a stylish design that feels right every time you put them on. All so that you can feel confident that the clothes will deliver, regardless of the temperature. For us, it's simple: the cold should never stop you. The right clothes make training outside an experience you actually look forward to." The text is written by Simon Hallberg Fitness lover & writer Published: 2025-10-01

Compression garments for recovery

Recovery is just as important as the workout itself. It's where your body rebuilds the strength you just broke down. Compression garments can be a game changer for helping your muscles recover. By increasing blood flow, they reduce stiffness and fatigue, and make you feel fresher faster. But compression isn't just about function. When the garments fit close to the body, follow your movements and feel stable against the skin, you also get a sense of security and extra focus. It's like a light support that reminds you that your body is ready, whether you're charging for the next workout or winding down after a long workout. At CLN Athletics, we see compression as part of the whole: stylish garments that provide both effect and feel. Comfortable enough for everyday life, technical enough for training, and designed to work for every body. So that recovery feels as natural as the training itself."

Wash workout clothes

Workout clothes are built to perform. But to keep them looking and feeling fresh over time, you need to take care of them properly. Here are our top tips to make your favorite CLN Athletics pieces last longer and perform optimally, wash after wash. 1. Wash as soon as possible after exercise After a tough workout, it's tempting to throw your clothes in the laundry basket or leave them in your bag. But sweat and moisture quickly create an environment where bacteria thrive – and that's what causes bad odor, not just the sweat itself. Do this: Hang your clothes to dry if you can't wash them right away. Don't store them bunched up in a bag or laundry basket. Wash preferably within 24 hours to reduce bacterial growth. 2. Turn the garments inside out before washing It's the inside that collects the most sweat and bacteria – and that's where it smells the most. Turning your workout clothes inside out helps with both hygiene and protects prints, logos and surface materials from wear. Advantages: More effective cleaning where it's needed most. Longer lifespan of colors, prints and textures. 3. Use cold water – 30 to a maximum of 40 degrees Most workout clothes are made from technical functional materials that are sensitive to high temperatures. Washing in water that is too hot can damage the fibers, cause the garments to lose their shape and impair their moisture-wicking properties. Consider: 30 degrees is enough to get rid of sweat and dirt. Avoid programs with prewash or high spin speeds. 4. Skip fabric softener completely Fabric softener may feel like a fresh finish, but it's actually one of the most common reasons why workout clothes lose their function. It forms a film over the fabric and blocks breathability. Fabric softener results: The clothes breathe less well → start to smell faster. Poor moisture transport → feels sticky during exercise. Risk of elastane and stretch material breaking down. 5. Use the right detergent – ​​preferably for sportswear A mild detergent without perfume and bleach is gentler on technical materials. There are also special detergents for sportswear that are developed to effectively neutralize sweat odor. Tip: Avoid overdosing – it will not make the clothes cleaner. Run an empty machine with vinegar occasionally to clean the machine from sweat and detergent residue. 6. Air dry instead of tumble drying The heat in the dryer can destroy elastic fibers and cause garments to shrink or lose their shape. It's better to let your workout clothes air dry – preferably hanging or lying flat. Best way to dry: Hang on a hanger in a ventilated space. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade colors. 7. Wash workout clothes separately Mixing laundry with jeans, towels or items with zippers can create friction and damage the more delicate materials in your workout clothes. This is especially important if you have mesh, seamless tights or clothes with detailed prints. Please wash separately: Workout clothes (especially light and dark separated). Use laundry bags for extra delicate materials. The text is written by Simon Hallberg Fitness lover & writer Published: 2025-07-03
