Need workout cloths!!

I love the workout cloths that are used in the past videos (CTX), and am in need of some pants. Has anyone ever ordered the Contrast Flare pants from Hotskins.com? Are they comfortable? Comfort is an important thing to me when I workout and I haven't really found any comfortable workout pants. Any ideas? Amy Jo :) :)
 
They're OK

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jun-04-01 AT 01:53PM (Est)[/font][p]I wouldn't rank them as a top pair of pants. They are comfortable but thin in the fabric department. If you really want to get some wear out of a pair of pants check out Avia's and Carushka's. Hotskins does make a better fabric too (I actually am wearing them as I type;-))...it's the micro fiber stuff. It wears like iron. Look for more of the synthetic stuff over the cotton and you'll have pants that will last you forever.

Cathe has some great manufactures listed in her buyers guide http://www.cathe.com/clothes.htm and here are a couple others.

I just posted a similar message at The FIRM web site. Only I need to buy a pair of boot-cut, knit pants with a short inseam -28 inches. I did find a pair at the AVIA web site, but generally they seem hard to find. Guess I'll keep searching.
 
RE: They're OK

Dag-nab-it! I've developed this addiction to knee length workout pants, and you've gone and given me the address to that usbodywear outfit!!! I just bought two pairs over the weekend, plus two pairs of denim capris!!! Somebody stop me!;-)
 
I stumbled onto a workout clothes gold mine.....Champs Sports! They seem to be small stores, but they have brand name workout clothes really cheap. They have racks of my favorite knee length pants, plus lots of sports bras. I have no idea if these stores are exclusive to this area (Akron-Canton Ohio), but they are worth checking out if you have one nearby!!!!!!! I'm so excited!:7:7:7:7:7:7:7
 
There is a Champs at the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora, Illinois. At least, there used to be. It's been a while since I've been to that mall. They do have a nice selection of workout clothes.
 
I am not very big on fashionable workout clothes since I workout alone, nor do I spend lots of money on workout cloths. I usually just wear a sports bra - and shorts over a bikini bottom (I go lay out in the sun afterwards, I live in Miami) Plus with the heat and humidity, you are going to want to wear as little as possible.

My favourite is Title 9 Sports. (NOT Title Sports.) Their site addy is title9sports.com. You can also get a printed catalogue. They have the best selection I've ever found. They are especially invaluable for workout bras that support well, even for those who REALLY need good support!

Hi Nancy!

I need some new pants and was just wondering if the synthetic material is shiny??? I don't like the shiny-spandex-look anymore. I love my Hotskin Contrast Flares (so does my hubby! ;-))and was wondering which kind to order. Also, do the Avia's & Carushka fit the same as the Contrast flares? I love the length since I am only 5'4". Sorry for all the ???'s

Amy Jo,
I've seen similar-looking contrast color flares at Target this past month (they're on my "to get" list). Haven't tried them on, but they aren't flimsy like some, and only $29 (I assume Hotskins and other brands would be more). You can check them out at target.com (though not all color stripes are available online).
