Over the years, we heard consistently from customers who wanted more structure and support in the gym. We also moved to a new manufacturing partner. RealGrip is the result: a firmer, more performance-oriented fabric that holds its shape, produces sharper prints, and reflects where the brand is going. The previous fabric was good. This one is built for what comes next.

The print does not become see-through under load or stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these have a liner or padding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. These are a single layer of RealGrip fabric with no liner, no padding, and no internal structure.

The firm hand of RealGrip makes these especially suited for the gym floor and the platform—anywhere you want gear that holds its shape through the whole session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I care for these tights?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cold, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or hang to dry.
