I got these great spats from Pony Club Grappling Gear. I believe that they are a prototype, but hear me out– you definitely want PCGG to make these en masse.

Basic Details:

About me: 5’2″, 118lbs

Size: Small

Fit: a little looser in the waist than I prefer on my spandex, but these would fit most featherweights/light featherweights I imagine. A small will probably fit up to 135lbs, depending on how tall the person is. If I were going to choose, I would definitely go a size down, but then, I have a serious fear of having my spandex pulled down in class because of how much leg-dragging goes on at the academy.

Quality: I own a lot of spats because I prefer to do no-gi in spats, and the quality of spandex on these is about three times as good as the Under Armor spats I own, and about twice as good as the Nike ones. The spandex itself is thick and feels like it’s really good quality. Perhaps more importantly, the stitching is sturdy, and I don’t feel like after one too many yoga classes, I’m going to be finding holes in the crotch seams (another big fear of mine).

Thoughts:

I wear a lot of spandex, and these are easily the most comfortable pants I’ve ever worn. The design is totally ridiculous and colorful, and I love it– I’ve been obsessed with unicorns since I was a little girl, and the design on these makes me really happy. I have this theory that workout clothes should be awesome, colorful, and make you feel good while you’re wearing them; these don’t just make me feel good, they make me feel awesome. I wore them to Crossfit the other day and I was tired, but every time I got a glimpse of my legs, it turned from “this metcon SUCKS” to “HELL YES KIPPING PULL-UPS WOOOOOO.”

The magic of unicorn pants, people.

I have been unironically wearing these around for days now, and people are starting to question my sanity… because, well, super-comfortable UNICORN SPATS should be reserved for the gym, apparently.

I MUST HAVE THESE RIGHT AWAY STOP TALKING AND TELL ME WHERE TO SEND MY MONEY WOMAN:
