pleasantly surpised
Was worried at first but pleasantly surprised! I'm a long loyal fan of Sweaty Betty for all my gym wear as I know I can trust it. So I thought I would give Thrivin a go. I ordered a medium as that's what i am in SB. I read afterwards the compression is high so was worried i may of ordered a too small size. The order took about a week to arrive ( i'm in the UK ) and was excited to try the leggings and top on, it did take me about 10 minutes to get the leggings on properly and with the fan on! But was really impressed by both the top & leggings. Yes, the compression was tight, but not uncomfortable, i do have big thighs as i'm a weight lifter and if i'm honest, why i got them, to show off my thighs, i am proud of them rather than my bum. But no issue, and not 4 bum cheeks either which I did read can happen if too tight. I will say they do feel much different to 'normal' leggings though because of the scrunch and they are much more fitted, so if you're insecure about you're shape it might not be the best to get the Elevate style. But my god I felt so good in them. The top I couldn't fault at all and didn't budge or ride up once. It gave me a nice shape and showed off arms nicely. So ordered another 2 tops after my session but I went for a large this time just to see the difference along with another pair of leggings in L. I usually wear floaty crop tops rather than fitted. Quality seems quite good and wasn't see through. I also got a free pair of socks which was nice I thought. i would recommend and hopefully the second order is as good.
