HUMMEL TIGHT GUIDE

HUMMEL TIGHT GUIDE

Although at first sight they may all look the same, tights are not just tights. There are tights designed for specific training styles as well as tights equipped with practical details and technical features designed to help you make the most of your workouts. We will guide you on how to find the perfect pair of hummel tights to fit your needs. Below you'll learn more about what styles fit your preferred workout the best.

The smart runner should opt for polyester tights with compression and a stable, structured fit. This ensures the tights always stay in place (even during high levels of movement), all while continuously supporting the muscles. If you’re a dedicated yogi, you should go for a pair of high-waisted, seamless tights with a flexible design. Are squats, dumbbells and deadlift a regular part of your fitness routine? Then you should opt for tights with a high waist fit in a flexible, functional material with a lot of stretch. This will keep your tights from ripping or sliding down during HIIT workouts or while you’re lifting heavy weights.

LOW INTENSITY TRAINING


When doing low intensity workout the most important thing is to feel comfortable and not wear tights that are too tight. If you are a devoted yogi or enjoy long walks, you should opt for a pair of tights in a soft, seamless design. In addition to a fantastic and comfortable fit with great freedom of movement, our low intensity models also feature BEECOOL® technology keeping you dry, fresh, and odor-free during your workout.

MEDIUM INTENSITY TRAINING


If you're into functional training, dancing, and running, then choose a pair of polyester tights with compression and a stable, snug fit. This way, you ensure that your tights stay exactly where they should (even during high mobility) and provide support to your muscles during your run. Consider going for classic tights with a high or mid waist, and avoid seamless tights with high elastane content that might slip down during longer sessions.

LOOK AFTER YOUR NEW TIGHTS

When you have finally found your perfect pair of tights, it goes without saying that you need to take good care of them. How you wash your tights is particularly important.

Regardless of which type of tights you choose to exercise in, you should avoid chucking them in a sweaty pile on the floor when you’ve finished your workout. Instead, we recommend hanging them up straight after you’re done working out, so that they can dry quickly. Whether you wash your tights after every workout or not is really a question of personal taste. However, when you do decide to wash your tights, make sure to keep temperature below 40 degrees and completely avoid using fabric softener. Fabric softener clogs the material’s stitching and the natural ventilation of your tights. Finally, you should avoid putting your tights in the tumble dryer and instead let them air dry in order to make sure they don’t lose their cooling properties.
