Buyers Guide
The purpose of this guide is to inform you about various products on the market and help you decide which are best suited to your needs.
The following are some important considerations before making your purchase.
Comfort vs. Style
You don’t have to compromise when it comes to either of these.
The products we reviewed are great looking but comfortable and functional as well.
Some people prefer loose-fitting yoga clothes but the trend seems to be towards tighter fitting yoga clothes that are cross functional.
We are big fans of doubling up and using your yoga clothes for your other cross training.
Price vs. Quality
This is another area where you really don’t have to compromise.
There are some great budget and mid-range options here that deliver on quality as well as functionality.
We wouldn’t recommend going too cheap and it seems unnecessary to have to spend an arm and a leg on the more expensive options.
Some Basic Features to Look For
Moisture management
Make sure that the fabric has some form of moisture management qualities.
You will be especially grateful for these when doing Bikram yoga or other forms of rigorous sweat inducing exercise.
4-way stretch fabric
Most of the clothes we reviewed have this feature.
Stretchy and comfortable fabric compensates for tighter fitting clothes & makes the flowy yoga clothes unnecessary.
Pockets
This is a convenient addition to leggings, capris or pants.
Ventilation/breathability
Fabrics that allow your skin to breathe tend to cause less chaffing or irritation.

They allow you to move from your yoga class to the exercise bike without the need for a wardrobe change.
They are available in a variety of bright and neutral colors to suit your individual taste.
The four-way stretch fabric offers comfort in movement without riding up or slipping down.
The fabric promises sweat-wicking properties which manage dryness.
This feature is most welcomed if you’re doing hot Bikram yoga and rigorous workouts.
The hidden key keeper is a considerate design feature which proves to come in handy at the gym.
- Affordable and accessible
- 4 way stretch fabric
- Sweat-wicking properties

2) Icyzone Yoga Racerback Tank Tops for Women
CHECK LATEST PRICE ON AMAZON.COM
This classic racerback is another multi-functional fitness wardrobe ‘must have.’
The banded crew neckline and flatlock seams give it a lovely quality finish.
We suggest that you size up as a slightly looser fit gives a real feeling of comfort and maneuverability especially useful for yoga.
We found it easy to match the practical colors to our yoga capris and leggings.
These are great quality for the price, so it makes sense to have a few of these tanks in your closet.
- Machine washable
- Stretchy material and tag-free neckline
- Bound edges and flatlock seams
- Matching sports bras, pants and shorts also available
- Size chart can be misleading (size up to ensure a looser more comfortable fit)
- 3 color combination comes in a pack of 3 but the single color only in single packs
Summary
We loved these racerbacks especially for Bikram yoga where heat can get the better of you.
They’re light, loose and comfortable.
They match to most leggings, capris and pants which means you can wear them any day of the week without a second thought.
They look great and feel great too.

There is so much to love about these leggings.
The generously sized phone pocket is a fantastic addition.
