Hi everyone! Welcome to my channel, my name is Vicki and today i've got a Ryderwear Wild
Collection review for you as well as a couple of the Lauren Simpson collection pieces. I know that
the Lauren Simpson collection is a bit older. Her collection was on sale, so I just grabbed a couple
things. So everything that I bought is in a size small and my measurements will be here as well
as in the description box if you want to reference them at any point. So with that let's take a look!
Both the sports bra and the leggings from the Wild collection are made from the same material,
which is composed of 88% nylon and 12% elastane. This means the material has a lot of stretch to it
and it's going to be very sweat wicking. It's got a smooth texture and while I wouldn't classify it
as second skin, it's still quite soft. Let's start off with the Wild Cross Over Sports Bra.
I got it in the colors blush and black, which are the solid color options.
They did have sports bras with the exact same animal patterns as the leggings,
I just chose the solid ones since they are more versatile. It's got a deep scoop neckline and
thicker straps. Ryderwear is written across the front and the logo is also on the back of the
bottom band. I just wanted to point out that i'm actually very impressed by their logos.
You can see that none of the lettering is coming off, which is a major issue for a lot of other
brands. The bottom band is quite thick and feels like it has the perfect amount of compression
without being too tight on me. The band does feel like it's offering a good amount of support
as well. The website classifies this as a medium impact sports bra that's recommended for training.
I think that while the straps and the band are thicker the neckline is still quite low, so it's
probably going to be lower impact for those with a larger chest. The back has a crossover design as
the name indicates. I like how open the design is, because it doesn't feel restrictive at all. You
can see the straps are not adjustable, but i found it to be a good height on me and the cup pads are
removable as well. In terms of sizing it fits true to size on me, so I would stick with your normal
size. I wore this for a full leg day workout just to try it out for you girls and I really liked it.
It was comfortable the entire time and I didn't feel like the straps were digging in at any point.
The back is really open, so I didn't overheat plus it looks super cute. So I have nothing
bad to say about it. Next we have the Wild High Waisted Leggings. I picked up the blush
leopard and the black zebra prints. They have a high-waisted fit and the waistband is about
four inches in length. It's stretchy and double layered, so i'd say it has medium compression.
One thing to note is these are not seamless leggings and the seam between the waistband and
the rest of the legging is not flat, so it is a bit bulkier. It's not going to lie completely flat
on you. There is a logo on the left front hip and these do have a front seam. Unfortunately I get
pretty bad camel from these. That being said my thighs are a bit smaller due to genetics, so
it does feel like there's extra material gathering here for me that might not be a problem on other
people. On the back of the waistband, there's another logo. The seams are curved to accentuate
the glutes and there is a seam that runs up the back. I personally prefer leggings that have some
type of back seam, because i find the material sits strangely sometimes if there's no seam
and creates this weird valley that isn't very flattering at all in my opinion.
I think these look pretty flattering since the seam offers a little bit of glute separation. I
didn't see an inseam listed on the website, so I measured it myself and it seems like it's about
twenty four and a half inches. I am between five seven and five eight for reference and
they seem to sit about one inch above my ankle. The seams on these are really good quality,
I looked them over and I couldn't find any that were sticking out or loose so i'm very
impressed by that. Let's check if there's any gaping during a squat and it looks like there is a
little bit. They claim that these are squat proof on the website so let's put that to the test.
And it passes on me in both colors. For sizing I was between sizes so I went with the bigger one to
be safe. I probably should have went down, because the material is so stretchy. They did feel pretty
similar to a standard small other than the thigh area. If you're not between sizes i would probably
stick with your normal size and if you are between sizes like me, then i'd recommend sizing down.
Overall I liked these. I think they would have been perfect for me if I got an extra small.
I did wear them for a full workout and they were great. They were comfortable and even though they
are a bit big in the thighs, I only had to pull them up once or twice. Next we have the
Wild Cropped Fleece Hoodie in black. The hoodie is made from an insulating fleece fabric which is 65%
polyester and 35% cotton. It feels super soft and fuzzy and I could already tell this is going to be
really comfy. The branding is across the front and there's a little logo in the corner. It's
got little metal detailing on the end of the drawstrings. It is cropped as the name implies,
so here's how it sits on me for reference. This is how long the sleeves are. I like the hoodie,
because it's perfect for me to wear at the beginning of a workout. It's warm, but it also
has an open bottom so I won't overheat or get really sweaty. In terms of sizing, it's pretty
boxy and the arms are quite roomy so I would either size down or stay with your normal size.
I did get my normal size for reference. That's it for the Wild Collection review. Next up, we have
the Lauren Simpson collection. Everything that I will be talking about for this collection is made
from the same material as the wild collection. Let's start with the twist sports bra. I got
it in the black leopard print. It's got a deep v-shaped neckline with a twist keyhole cut out.
The straps are thicker and they're not adjustable. The bottom band is thick and again it feels like
it has the perfect amount of compression without being too tight. The website classifies this as
medium impact and I don't think that's accurate. The design just doesn't offer much support from
the front and if you have a larger natural chest there's not going to be much holding you in place.
The back has a racerback design so you can easily move around. It's got the Lauren Simpson logo on
the back as well as this strong and feminine text. The cup pads are removable. In terms of sizing,
it fits true to size on me so you probably can pick up your normal size. Overall, it may not
be the best choice for a HiiT workout, but i really like the design because it's unique
and really cute. Next up, we have the Lauren Simpson High Waisted Scrunch Bum leggings,
which was a huge mouthful to say. I did pick it up in the black leopard print. The waistband is very
similar to the wild collection. It's also four inches in length, stretchy, and double layered.
So again, it has medium compression. Something that's different about these is there's a seam at
the very top of the waistband whereas the wild waistband was just folded over. Wearing them
side-by-side, it feels like the Lauren Simpson ones will not slide down as easily since the top
of the waistband is slightly more compressive due to the extra stitching. There's the Lauren
Simpson logo on the front left hip. Again, these do have a front seam and unfortunately
I have the same camel experience with these, but i don't really care personally since the pattern and
the color don't make it very noticeable. On the back of the waistband there's a standard Ryderwear
logo. Let's talk about the scrunch. The only other pair of scrunch leggings that i've tried so far
are the Gymshark Camo leggings, but those are more of a thicker seam than a scrunch. This is
a true scrunch and if we look inside there's actually an elastic piece that the back seam
is sewn to that creates the scrunch. In terms of comfort, the scrunch sits over my underwear
so I don't really feel it. The scrunch details do make your glutes look nice, so if it's your style
these are probably right up your alley. These have a slightly longer inseam. It seems like
they're about 25 inches and I can tell they're a bit longer than the wild leggings as they
sit closer to my ankle. These are squat proof, which I would expect since they're black, but
i'm doing it anyways just because you can never be too sure these days. For sizing I would give
the same recommendation as the wild leggings, which is stick to your normal size but size down
if you are between sizes as the material is quite stretchy. Overall I like these. I haven't tried
them for a workout yet, but I can't see any reason I wouldn't like them considering they're very
similar to the wild leggings. Finally we have the Lauren Simpson high waisted scrunch bum shorts,
which of course I also had to get in the black leopard print. There's just something about black
leopard that I love. These are the exact same as the leggings, just in shorts. They are quite
short with only about a two inch inseam. I know a lot of shorts are problematic, because the bottom
band tends to be quite tight, but these are not like that. The bottom band is very stretchy and
it doesn't feel like it's digging into my thigh. The shorts paired with the twist sports bra
is so cute, i'm actually a bit sad, because it's winter here and I would love to wear this
outside in the summer. For sizing these feel true to size. I would just stick with your normal size.
And that wraps up my review! This was my first time trying Ryderwear clothing
and i'm glad they had such a great sale, because I love these pieces. The nice thing about their
shipping for my fellow Canadians is they pay the import taxes, so you don't have to worry about
that. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the review! Until next time, bye!
