Now, Amazon truly brings us the very best, but does that include activewear.
Well, hello. Welcome, welcome back if this isn't your first time. I am Demi your friendly neighbourhood
fitness friend, and today we're taking it back back into activewear. Now, usually when I buy
some new leggings, I spend a little bit of money, quite a few coins and I've be thinking recently
there must be more affordable options that are still good, so I decided to take a dive
into Amazon, and see what they have there and I came across this brand called CRZ
yoga. Now, if you go anywhere on the internet people have kind of been talking about this
brand and raving about it and the phrase "Lululemon dupe" has even been thrown out there,
so i decided to get a few pieces in and see if they really do stand up to the hype and well,
let's just talk about it. Okay, so we're gonna start off with their bra. This is their strappy
sports bra, and this is in the colour camo multi 17, if you're looking to get this exact one.
Now, this might look a little familiar to you for one of two reasons. One, it's the bra I wore
in my Alphalete try-on video, which I'll leave linked up if you want to check it out,
and two because the design of it is pretty similar to the Lululemon free to be wild bra and that's as far
as it goes, it's only similar in the look. The fabric is pretty different. This is more of a
sleek performance feeling kind of fabric. The fit is also different. I got this in an extra small
and I've got a little bit of room under the band enough to kind of like slip and slide a little bit
in there, so they don't give me any support at all. I really couldn't do any kind of movement in it.
This will just be a bra for lounging around which is fine, because it's actually
super comfortable. I only paid $19 for this which as far as a really cute look goes works for me.
It's got removable cup pads in, which I always leave in, I've said before it's just my personal
preference, but you can take them out if it's not something that you love, but yeah like
I said, it's a really nice looking, really cute bra and the pattern on it is super gorgeous, but
I wouldn't recommend it for any kind of workout. By the way, if you're wondering what outfit I've
got on in this video, this is Gymshark's new vital seamless 2.0. I did a whole video on it and I'll
leave that linked up as well if you want to check it out. Alright, next we move on to the leggings,
starting off with the double seam waistband legging. So, what that means is it just has
two seams at the bottom of the waistband where it meets the rest of the leggings.
Now, speaking of the waistband, I got these leggings in an extra small, and as you can see in the try-on
I've got quite a bit of room in the waist still. Now, what this means for me is when I tried to
work out In them, the leggings just kind of slipped and slid and I had to keep pulling
them up, so I don't see myself doing that again. The rest of the leggings actually fits me just
fine in the butt and the leg area, but that might be because my waist is a little smaller compared
to the rest of my body, I'll leave my measurements, everything in the description box below if you
want to check it out and kind of compare yourself to me and see if these might work better for you.
Unfortunately, as this is the smallest size they do, I can't even size down to see if that might
be a better fit for me, so I'll be keeping these leggings just to lounge around in as they are
super comfortable. This is in the brushed dark grain colour in the 25 inch inseam which hits me
full length, but they do also do a 28 inch inseam for my taller girls.
When it comes to squatproof-ness of these leggings, I'm wearing black underwear so you can't really see
anything in regards to that, but you can see the outline of the leggings so that tells me that
they're not completely squat proof, even with the extra room I have in the leggings so keep that in
mind as well if you're looking to get these, but this only cost me 22 dollars so if you're like me
and you're usually a neutral girl, and you want to try out some new colours and patterns,
this might be a good brand to do that with. Okay, we'll move on to the second pair of leggings,
this time it's a single seam waistband leggings, so there's just one seam between the
waistband and the rest of the leggings. I'm getting exactly the same problem again in the waistband
in an extra small, I still have that extra room, so again this will be just lounging leggings for me.
They fit me just fine in the rest of the leggings as well. If it's possible
for you, I would definitely recommend sizing down as they're very stretchy,
so they should still fit you in the rest of the body and give you a bit more snugness at the waist.
These leggings don't have any compression in them for me, but then again, I don't know if
that's because of the sizing, or because that's just what the material leans towards. Now people
kind of throw around the whole "align dupe" with these leggings but they're actually really not.
Um, even the brand itself calls these their naked feeling leggings, but they don't feel
very brushed to me. They are definitely more of a sleek performance material, closer to what
the luxtreme is than what the align is, but not exactly the same. This is its own material.
Again, this is in the 25 inch inseam which fits full length on me, with squatproof-ness,
this did better than the other colour, this is the camo multi number three. I definitely could
see less of that kind of shadowing with these leggings than with the other one. These leggings
do have a couple of similarities with the aligns though, so maybe that's where the dupe comes from?
in that it's got that pocket inside the waistband like the aligns do, and the seams in the back
form a little v just above the booty to flatter it, but other than that it's completely its own thing.
Lastly, we have a long line bra which is really more of a 2-in-1 tank. I think this was supposed to
kind of be their own version of the align tank, but it's very different in the shape.
It's a bit shorter as well. It does still have the built-in bra with removable cup pads if
you want to take those out. The built-in bra has a little elastic on the bottom, I think that's
to help with fit, which it actually does, this is the one thing I got in this haul that actually
fits me perfectly. I don't have any extra room anywhere. Um, I did some yoga practice in it and
it actually held me in pretty well, so I would definitely 100% recommend picking this up. It also
has adjustable straps to help increase the support if you want to, and this is in the tie-dye pattern.
Okay now overall would I recommend trying CRZ Yoga, the answer is yes. Now, like I said before,
size down if you can, but if you can't, I'd still give it a go especially if you're looking for
leggings to just kind of hang around in all day. They're really comfortable and they don't cost
too much as well. The sports bra was 19 and the leggings and the top were like 20, 22 so it won't
run your pockets. It also has a whole bunch of different colours and patterns that you can choose
from, so you can mix up your wardrobe a little bit if that's what you're looking for. I wouldn't compare
it to anything like a Lululemon, it definitely stands on its own as a brand, from the material
standpoint. Now from the styles, they definitely they try to copy what Lululemon has going on,
but I wouldn't hold that against them. Well, that's it for me. Thank you so much for watching. Please
