Product Review: UA StudioLux Quattro Capri

It occurred to me that the product I plan on reviewing today may be out of stock in most places. Which is a major bummer because I am more than pleased with it and I highly recommend them. So if you’re out and about, hit up your local sporting goods store and see if you can snag yourself a pair.

The item I’m referring to are the UA StudioLux Quattro Capris. They. Are. Awesome. I’ve been on the hunt for a solid pair of capris that didn’t lose shape or stretch over time, and so far these fit the bill to a T.

Before I proceed, I have to disclaim that I have purchased these on my own accord, and this review is solely my own opinion.

My previous pairs of capris have all been cotton. Yoga capris, fashion capris, you name it. All cotton. Which is awesome because they’re super comfortable, but they don’t retain their shape not only throughout the day but also over time. 

Here’s the nitty gritty:

Pros

Form fitting and flattering — how are these two together, you ask? They are snug and hug in all the right places — and don’t in the wrong places. I’ve got thighs and hips. Couple that with my mom pouch and I avoid tight pants like crazy. But these aren’t tight in the waist and don’t make me feel self-conscious at all. And not having a tight waistband in workout apparel is key to any successful (and comfortable) workout.

Convenient pocket — most workout bottoms have a hidden pocket. Most workout bottoms have a hidden pocket that’s too small to be useful. The UA capris have a hidden pocket and it’s the perfect size to be useful! The pocket is wide enough to fit a credit card or license, you could easily tuck in a key, and you could possibly fit an iPhone for your tunes — haven’t tried the last one myself.

Great material for all types of activities — the breathable, wicking fabric of these capris makes them excellent for all types of activities. Yoga, running, power walking — heck, even just hanging out with kids and strolling along the sidewalk!

Compression — I love that these capris are compression-wear. They make my legs feel nice and snug, which is particularly nice after a long week of training or after my long runs. Bonus, they make me look particularly ripped. Which I’m not, but it sure feels like it when I’m sporting these for the day!

And now to the cons…

Cons

Crickets…

There you have it, friends. I have found my new favorite pair of workout bottoms. I have nothing bad to say about them. I was going to say something about being hot in them, but that’s not a product error. That’s a season error. I was also going to mention the price tag (MSRP $64.99), but they are perfectly in line with all of the other quality workout bottoms available.

Bottom line — would I recommend the UA StudioLux Quattro Capri to a friend, sister-in-law, or my mom? Totes. They are ah-mazing. Everyone should own a pair. I’m telling you — go hunt them down on sale or clearance before they’re all gone!

Have a beautiful day!
