90 Degree By ReflexWomens High Waisted Leggings Capri Workout Yoga Pants

I am writing this review for both the Interlink capri’s and the Power Flex capri’s because I ordered both and wanted to compare. I had a difficult time deciphering the difference between them based on the description from 90 Degrees and all of the reviews. They seemed like they were pretty much the same pants.First things first. Both styles are high waisted and provide tummy control. My favorite workout capri is from a company called Lucy and they used to make a capri called Perfect Core. To me, this was the gold standard of workout pants. They were thick, soft, high waisted and true to their name, gave you that Core support. A couple years ago, Lucy was bought out by North Face and they have opted to discontinue the capri style pant and only make full length leggings. I prefer capri’s, so I was on a quest to find a replacement. The Lucy Perfect Core capri is in the same price range of workout pants as Lulu or Athleta.Both the Interlink and Power Flex passed the squat test. Anyone who is saying that the fabric is too thin and see-thru did not buy the correct size (too small). Any fabric is only going to stretch so much before you can start to see the weave. Both pants also passed the “staying in place” test. I did not have to adjust, pull up or fix either pair during my workout. And l definitely put both of these pants to the test by wearing them on a leg day. I squatted, dead lifted and lunged with no issues whatsoever. I also tested them on a cardio day and had no issues running in them either.So, how do they differ? The only difference I could tell was the actual fabric and feel. The Interlink fabric is “silkier” and reminds me of bike shorts. It is a smoother and shinier and did seem to have a little bit better compression. The fabric on the Power Flex pants is more like fabric and is softer and more matte, which is more like the higher end workout pants.After wearing both styles, I prefer the Power Flex. Even though I felt more “compressed” in the Interlink, the Power Flex were more comfortable and something I would wear around the house or running errands. Where the Interlink are definitely a workout pant and not something that could pull double duty. I am giving both styles 5 stars because they really did perform and I liked both of them, and found my replacement pants.For reference, I am 5’-2”, 113 pounds and ordered XS in both styles.

I was looking for some higher quality leggings to wear out and about that didn't show panty lines and could handle whatever my kids, dog, and chickens could throw at them. These definitely do the job! They are a nice, thick, but not hot material. When I bend over you can't see anything through them. Dog hair seems to slide right off of them too, bonus lol! The waistband is nice and thick and does not roll down, even when you bend over alot. (Another bonus when chasing toddlers!) They hold their shape after washes too. I am a 5'5" woman who fluctuates between 170 and 175 lbs and I tend to like my leggings to "hold me in" at my mom pouch but not be too tight on my waist. I am in between sizes when it comes to leggings- I tend to ordered a medium for workout leggings a large for lounge wear. I ordered a large and I would say they are definitely on the looser side. They fit and they don't fall down but they do nothing for sucking me in, which is fine for doing housework or watching tv but if your looking for that holding power you might want to size down if you are in between sizes like I am. That is my ONLY negative about these leggings. The length is very flattering on my pear shaped body and can be dressed up or down. I plan on getting several more pairs in both sizes so I can wear them around the house AND out and about.

Comfortable

I had a event to go and wanted a nicer pair of black Capri leggings. Most of mine go right to under the knee and I wanted ones that were longer. I searched around and found these and liked the length and the material. I chose size medium at first. I am 5'5", 127 pounds with a thick waist. When they arrived, they fit well but the belly part wasn't tight. I was hoping for more compression. At the last minute, I decided to try a small. They came the day of the event and I almost didn't try them on but did and they were way better. They had much more compression but were not too tight and they clung nicely to my skinny legs. Both sizes fit but I prefer the compression of the size small.These leggings did go down several inches below my knee as I wanted and looked sleek. They looked a tiny bit see through when I bent my knees while sitting but they are essentially opaque. I wore a longer top with them so I didn't worry about panty lines or them being see through in the butt. I wore them for many hours and they never slid down or stretched out. They stayed true to shape until I took them off. I really like them.The only thing I don't like is that they attract pet hair, dust, and anything else that may be floating around in the air. It was tough to keep them free of "stuff". I picked up a little lint roller and that solved the problem for the most part. I hand washed the the leggings and there was no shrinkage. I don't think I would machine wash and dry these. These are fine for working out and for wearing out. I would give them 5 stars but the fact that they attract everything is kind of a pain to deal with. Otherwise, they're really perfect for me. If you want good compression, consider sizing down, especially if you are close to being the smaller size.
