Reader Uniform: Gymshark Dupes? Part II

Hello! In my last Reader Uniform post I went over the Aoxjox dupes for the Gymshark Vital Seamless Shorts. You can check that review out here. In my search for some workout clothes that were less silky smooth than my yoga clothes and more strength training friendly I started looking into cheaper alternatives to the new gym standard of Gymshark. Luckily Amazon has some pretty great finds. This week I am going to be talking about the dupe that I found on Amazon for the Gymshark Camo Seamless leggings.

These are some of the more iconic leggings/sets from Gymshark. You can check out the originals here. As with most things from Gymshark, these are often sold out in most sizes but come in berry red, light green, pink, sage green, black, lilac, and lavender grey. Their sizing runs from XS to XL. They are advertised as seamless, squat proof, flattering with a high waist, and enhancing with ruched detailing along the rear. All of that doesn't necessarily come cheap though. These seamless leggings will run you $60.00. If you want the matching bra or long sleeve crop top (which are very cute) it'll be $45.00 each.

While the look is definitely cute, I wasn't super willing to spend $105.00-$150.00 on a single gym set. So I went onto Amazon and found a plethora of dupes. Check out my review below for the WodoWei Camo Seamless.

Brand: WodoWei
Style: Women's High Waisted Camo Seamless Leggings 7/8 Length Workout Yoga Pants
Size: Small
Color: Lavender Grey

Just like the Aoxjox shorts, the style name is super long for these. Here you can see the Amazon
listing, which also just like the Aoxjox shorts uses the same photos as the Gymshark site to advertise. The range of sizes is a bit more narrow and only includes small, medium, and large. On the upside they are definitely wallet friendly and range from $18.99 to $24.99 depending on the color and size your order. Last I checked the lavender grey in large was the only pair at $18.99. The matching bra is $17.98-$22.98 and the matching cropped top is $18.99-$22.98. Meaning you could potentially get the entire set for the price of the Gymshark leggings. But is it worth it?

First, let's talk comfortability. I've worn these lounging around with family and for a sweatier gym day. They are perfectly comfortable for curling up on a couch with a movie and are reader uniform worthy. While I would classify them as compressive there is plenty of give to them that you can bend and lounge as you please without any pinching. One thing to note is that the compression in the waistband ends just below your belly button so if you are uncomfortable with your lower stomach there could be a slight bulge visible. It was not overly obvious but it was there. Now part of the lounging was outdoors when the temperature was well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. They weren't awful in the heat but I would recommend them as more of a fall and winter legging.

When working out in them they held up nicely and I felt supported doing lunges and squats but also didn't feel like they were going to rip when I was doing yoga. The fabric is thicker which had me worrying about potential issues with sweat. Surprisingly, these never got gross. The sweat dried quickly and I did not have any issues with sweat marks, though the camouflage pattern would disguise that fairly well regardless. The waistband stayed put and was quite high while the ankles didn't really budge.

Next up is coverage. These are fairly underwear line friendly with being a thicker fabric and and the pattern. When squatting in bright light and sunlight there were no obvious issues with them not being squat proof. As far as camel toe goes there is an extended gusset that stretches more sideways (from across your body rather than front to back) that does a good job of preventing any uncomfortable visuals. But, this gusset was a bit uncomfortable at times with it pulling more on my thighs than I probably would have liked. If I pulled up the legs a bit I noticed the sensation go away. The lack of a front seam should also help prevent any visual issues.

One feature of the camo seamless I was apprehensive about was the ruching along the rear. It is
meant to prevent the uni-cheek that can occur when leggings are overly compressive while also enhancing the natural curves that you have. If you are less gifted in the glute area it probably would have done this. A lot of other reviewers and myself noticed that if you are not smaller in that area it just stretches out the ruching and you have a slight line along the crack. It is not overly noticeable and it is not uncomfortable. However, if you prefer a cleaner look to the back of your leggings these might not be for you.

These leggings are short girl approved with their 7/8 length. When I first opened the package I was a little worried that they were going to be child sized with how small they looked but luckily they are pretty stretchy and I was able to get them on. At 5'3" these hit at my ankle, nearly a full length without any bunching. The small ankle cuff does not dig in and is actually pretty comfortable. If you are taller these would probably hit right above the ankle, while on other petite girls they will probably be full length.

The WodoWei leggings are composed of 90% nylon and 10% spandex. Comparing this with the listing for the Gymshark leggings is a bit different. The Camo Seamless Gymshark leggings are 65% nylon, 27% polyester, and 8% elastane. Most reviewers that had experience with the original Gymshark leggings said that these dupes look pretty much identical and feel the same. I did not see anyone saying that they feel substantially different based off of the fabric.

Where the biggest difference for most people was the absence of logos. If you spring for the real deal you will have "Gymshark" across your left hip in large letters that blend in with the camouflage design as well as a small shark head logo on the right ankle. With the dupes there are no logos whatsoever, which could be a benefit for someone looking for a cleaner look.

These overall are a solid choice for the gym that is cute while also being functional. Order your usual size.
