We are continuously looking through our products for opportunities to make improvements. Some of the improvements can be seen and felt and others are undetectable, but these can be the most important!

We at Better Bodies have made the decision to remove as much Silicone as we can from our products.

WE HAVE BEEN GETTING FEEDBACK FROM OUR COMMUNITY

 has changed. “It feels different”, “It feels smaller” are a few of the comments. And this is correct. But not in the way you may think.

Many textile products are heavily treated with Silicone which makes the fabric feel very soft and gives a very slick elastic feel. Unfortunately, even if it feels nice it is not always good for us and for our environment. In the 

 and many of our other products we have reduced or removed all silicone which can make them feel a bit different. Why have we done this?

TWO REASONS WHY WE STAY AWAY FROM SILICONE

 is that even if Silicone is derived from basic sand ( SI- Silicon) it undergoes a heavy chemical process in order to become what is used in clothing. This chemical heavy process is just a part of why we don’t want to use it. We also don’t know where it ends up after it eventually is washed out since it cannot return to its original state. We are finding a buildup of silicone in ocean animals and we can all agree our oceans don’t need any more man made products floating around in them.

 is that silicone can cause skin irritation in some people. So for us this is a no brainer - we simply don’t need it.

 we've received endless positive reviews.

While keeping our classic Better Bodies Curves we went seamless on these leggings, making them extremely comfortable to wear. The fabric consists of a blend of polyamide, polyester and elastane, which offers a great flexibility and a good moisture wicking ability. Further adding to the comfortable fit, the fabric is light weight and soft, yet still squat proof.

These leggings are great for training but also cute for everyday wear.

Improve your exercises with Better Bodies wrist wraps

The year was 1986. She walks through New York’s Chelsea neighborhood, on her way to the gym. Her head is high, her back straight. It’s not arrogance, but confidence. She looks strong and fit, but not for anybody else; She trains for herself!  She was not to be messed with, and something about her walk projected that to those around her. Men might have catcalled her as she walked by, but if they did, they’d have regretted it. She was independent, and had no need for anyone else to make her feel complete.

It was this persona of a strong, powerful, female New Yorker in the late 80s that the designers at Better Bodies wanted to channel when they decided to create the first camo tights several years back.

Better Bodies Tights were already a best-selling category, and at the time, there was a brand-wide effort to begin reconnecting new pieces with Better Bodies’ original New York heritage, (read the story about the 

). The designers wanted to create a new pair of tights that the female New Yorker persona would have wanted to wear, and try to inject her confidence and attitude into the women of today. According to designer Donna Bruns, “we wanted to channel their inner badass.” How were they going to do it? Camo. “when it comes to looking at camo, we think it’s a vital part of the brand,” says Bruns, “It gives the feeling of our roots, and where we came from in 

Our New Yorker from ’86 would have worn camo, and the Better Bodies design team hoped that today’s strong, independent women would love it as well. Thankfully, they did, and the camo long-tights became Better Bodies’ best-selling tights almost immediately. “There is something about the camo, when I put them on and I’m heading to the gym, I feel like a soldier going to war,” says Better Bodies ambassador Kamilah Powell.

Adding to their popularity was the fact that they were squat-proof. Women noticed, and the positive reviews began to pile up.

After releasing the original white camo tights, other colors followed, and eventually, other styles as well…

Next were the Camo High Tights. Women had been asking for the camo tights that were high waisted, and Better Bodies obliged. Starting with green camo, the selection soon included new colors, even a more subtle look of black on black camo with glass printing. The new high tights offered something extra, as well. Donna Bruns explains, “we changed the material to a lighter, looser material, and added compression, so they don’t just look amazing but there is a functional component as well.” Women noticed and appreciated the adjustments in the fit that were offered with the high tights. “They fit in all the right places, and I can do any exercise in them,” says Better Bodies ambassador Karianne Bentzen, “and up until then I’d always had a problem squatting in tights.”

The success of the camo tights over the past several years has had a drastic impact on the Better Bodies brand.

As their popularity grew, they were seen more and more often outside of the gym. “You do see this progression of gym wear into athleisure and streetwear,” Bruns says, “but I was pleasantly surprised to see how easily adapted the camo tights were to streetwear.” The ambassadors may have lead the charge. “I wear them all the time,” says BB ambassador Ashley Jenelle, “inside the gym, outside the gym, wherever. I live in them.”

The camo tights link the old to the new, the gym to the street, and the women who wear them to the brand’s New York heritage. Not only are they one of the most popular pieces in the Better Bodies lineup, but they’ve influenced the trajectory of the Better Bodies brand. The styles and colors will continue to evolve, but one thing is certain: the camo tights are an iconic piece of the Better Bodies story, and the story of the women who wear them.

The True Story Of The Better Bodies Camo Tight

"These are quite possibly the most versatile leggings Better Bodies have ever made. They can easily be worn in the gym or to a date night."

For decades we have been designing and producing tights for those who are looking to transform themselves through fitness.

Some styles stick around for a long time, other styles are reinvented and released in better versions than their predecessors. An example of a long-lasting item is the

 are PERFECT for the Summer! I am not sure how hot it gets during the Summer where you live, but in Texas it can get up to 110 Farenheit and it literally feels like you are living inside a sauna.

Simply the thought of wearing leggings in hot days, makes me want to just stay home in the A/C. These shorts are my go to when the heat is on, not to mention that they fit amazingly.

These leggings are a show stopper! Every single time I wear the

My Favorites: Nathalia Melo

Better Bodies ambassador Elin Söderström is working as a Police Officer and she is a well rounded CrossFit athlete with top placings like 1:st Polis-SM CrossFit 2017 och 2:a 2018 (individual), 1st Highway Games 2018 and 1st Battle of Wermland 2019 (Team).

In September she'll compete internationally at Aphrodite Games Cyprus.

Below Elin is sharing her opinions on which are her favorite tights and legggings for CrossFit and why. She chose 3 different pairs that all have one thing on common.

A bonus with these three tights, besides being extremely comfortable, trendy and having a great fit, is that they are all WOD-proof / squat-proof. With that I mean that no underwear will be visible through the fabric, regardless of movement or "stretch" of the fabric - for example during squats.

 are the absolute most comfortable tights I've worn. They work for everything CrossFit. The fabric is pretty thin but they fit tight and well on the body. They are even robust and you can lift in them. The waist can be folded down, which I appreciate sometimes.

The fabric feels really comfortable on the body and Camo High Tights are very functional for CrossFit. WOD, cardio (running, rowing, bike), strength and gymnastics - I think Camo High Tights are fret for everything within CrossFit training.

These tights feels like a mix between a pair of really thin and soft tights ad the Chrystie High Tights. They also enhance your natural curves.

Chrystie High Tights stays in place through the whole workout and this makes them perfect for WODs. They are durable and I love that you don't have to pull them up or adjust them during your workout, no matter what you do.

Besides the function of the tights I like the sporty design of Chrystie High Tights - they look GREAT!

 have an awesome tight fit. You can also choose to wear these higher up or lower in the waist.

Astoria Curve Leggings will stay in place and they are really comfortable. They are great for strength training and squats because they are elastic and move well, but still fit tight on the body. This also makes them great for gymnastics. I would also choose Astoria Curve Leggings for power walks and low intensity recovery / cardio workouts.
