Pants & Shorts

Choosing the perfect sustainable legging involves considering several factors. Let’s explore the key aspects that will guide your choice:

1. Season and weather conditions

Depending on the type of physical activity, yoga, hiking or running, and the season and weather conditions you will face, you need to choose sports leggings with appropriate thickness and breathability. For example, it is better to select products made of stretch material for yoga or sports activities that require elasticity. At the same time, it would be preferable to use durastretch, an elastic but rock-resistant material for hiking. Last but not least, for ski mountaineering, it is better to use merino wool leggings as baselayers to be combined with Durastretch pants but with multiple layers to insulate from the cold.

2. Fabrics

Our sustainable leggings designs are made from eco-friendly materials that prioritize the planet without compromising performance. For sustainable leggings fabrics, choose garments made with fabrics such as ECONYL® or recycled nylon, organic cotton, bamboo, or lyocell. These materials offer durability, breathability and comfort during workouts or outdoor activities.

3. Features

Consider features that enhance your experience with leggings. In the case of sports such as yoga, indoor climbing, hiking, or simply for comfortable travel, it would be helpful to choose garments with a “compression fit” to slim the silhouette and with flat seams and good ventilation that helps sweat wick away better and be comfortable. If leggings are enhanced with details such as secret pockets, they also become very functional.

4. Weight and comfort

LaMunt sustainable leggings are designed to provide optimal comfort without reducing style. Our lightweight, breathable fabrics offer freedom of movement, ideal for yoga, intense workouts, or hiking adventures. The leggings are carefully crafted to fit like a second skin, allowing you to focus on your activities without worrying about anything else.

For activities in colder temperatures, we recommend Durastretch pants perfect for in-between seasons and then move up to higher weights as with technical leggings explicitly designed for ski mountaineering.

Depending on the season and activity, the weight or layers are essential. For example, for the summer outdoor season or indoor training during winter, it would be helpful to choose lightweight materials. Besides, all-season pants lined on the inside for winter or high mountains helps keep legs protected from colder temperatures.

Finally, on almost all LaMunt pants and leggings, the length can be adjusted, quickly cut as needed to meet each woman’s needs in terms of fit. The ability to change the lower leg through practical zippers further multiplies the possibilities depending on the shoe being used, whether a mountain boot or a low-top shoe.

5. Eco-sustainability and ethics

For us, sustainability is at the core of our brand ethics. We strive to minimize environmental impact by using reclaimed materials such as ECONYL® and collaborating with ethical manufacturers. By choosing our leggings, you are contributing to a more sustainable future.

6. Flexibility and type of workout/use

Consider the type of workout or activity you plan to do while wearing leggings or athletic pants. For training on yoga or outdoor activities during summer you can choose from long leggings or better short leggings, while for multi-day hiking or long mountain walking trails, it is optimal to select short or long pants with reinforced and elastic waistband for guaranteed comfort.

Sport leggings should be snug, like a second skin, without being restrictive. The waist should be well-fitted to the hips, and leggings should allow freedom of movement without sagging or bunching.

Breathability becomes vital to avoid unmanaged sweating situations that make sporting activity more high-intensity.

Sport leggings or pants should be selected, considering details on comfortable waist, breathability, and weather resistance in high mountain or winter outdoor sports.

Pocket pants offer added convenience, allowing you to carry small essentials such as keys or cards. LaMunt leggings have discreet or hidden pockets that blend seamlessly with the leggings’ aesthetic.

The length of leggings depends on personal preference and the type of workout or activity you plan. We offer several measurements, including full size, 7/8 and cropped, plus leggings can be shortened, thanks to the dotted lines.

During summer sports in sweating weather situations, it is preferable to choose shorts or short leggings, better if adjustable in length to assess the appearance alternatively during winter or summer in high mountains, whether it is for trekking, hiking or running in the mountains, it would be recommended to choose long pants that protects the leg better.

In winter, layering is the key. Leggings can be used as base layers during winter sports: cross-country skiing, trail skiing or ski touring, paired with shell pants for snow.

Alternatively, leggings are a great style companion for women for travel or sports activities, paired with oversized sweaters and thermal or long-sleeved tops. Complete the look with a thermal jacket with sustainable padding.

For a summer look, leggings can be paired with lightweight, breathable tops, such as tank tops, crop tops, or fitted tees. Always recommend selecting breathable fabrics to stay dry and comfortable on hot days during intense or moderate sports.

We are committed to using the best sustainable materials for your leggings. We offer options made from recycled polyester, ECONYL®, Durastretch, and organic cotton, but most importantly, PFC-free to ensure no chemicals. These materials reduce waste and offer excellent moisture management, breathability and durability.
