Tek Gear DryTek Leggings | Moisture-Wicking Performance Fit
Our DryTek leggings deliver the moisture-wicking performance you need for high-intensity training and all-day wear. We engineered the fabric with advanced DryTek technology that pulls sweat away from your skin and dries fast, keeping you comfortable from warm-up to cool-down.
We developed DryTek fabric specifically for athletes who train hard and expect their gear to keep up. The proprietary fiber blend wicks moisture to the fabric surface where air circulation accelerates evaporation, keeping your skin dry even during intense cardio sessions.
Sizing, Fit & Waistband Design
Our tek gear drytek leggings run true to size with a mid-rise waistband that sits approximately two inches below the navel. The 28-inch inseam provides full-length coverage for most heights between 5’3″ and 5’9″ — taller athletes may prefer our 31-inch extended length option.
The waistband features an internal drawcord that you can adjust for a personalized fit without creating bulk or pressure points. We designed the waistband width at 3 inches to distribute compression evenly across your core, preventing the roll-down that happens with narrower elastic bands during forward bends or sit-ups.
Care Instructions & Durability
Machine wash your DryTek leggings in cold water with similar colors. We recommend turning them inside out before washing to protect the outer fabric finish and preserve color vibrancy. Avoid fabric softener — it coats the DryTek fibers and reduces moisture-wicking performance over time.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. High heat can break down the spandex fibers and cause premature wear in the waistband elastic. After dozens of customer durability tests, these leggings maintain their shape and compression through 200+ wash cycles when cared for properly.

Questions About Tek Gear DryTek Leggings
No, our DryTek leggings maintain full opacity during squats, lunges, and deep stretches. We use a dense fabric weave that prevents sheerness even when the material stretches to its maximum range. Hundreds of customers have specifically praised the squat-proof coverage in their reviews.
We test every color option for opacity under gym lighting conditions to ensure you can train with confidence in any position or movement pattern.
Mid-rise leggings sit approximately two inches below your navel and work well for most body types and workout styles. Choose mid-rise if you prefer less compression around your midsection or typically wear cropped tops during training.
High-rise styles sit at or just above the navel, providing extra core coverage and compression. Athletes with longer torsos or those who want maximum stomach coverage during inversions and bends typically prefer high-rise. Both options feature identical DryTek moisture-wicking technology.
Standard DryTek leggings work well in temperatures down to approximately 50°F, especially during active movement when your body generates heat. Below that temperature, we recommend layering them under wind-resistant pants or choosing our fleece-lined DryTek leggings.
The moisture-wicking properties actually help regulate temperature in mild cold by preventing sweat from cooling against your skin. Many runners wear these year-round for morning training sessions.
The standard DryTek leggings include a hidden waistband pocket designed for keys, cards, or small items — it measures approximately 4 inches wide and sits flat against your lower back. This pocket is not large enough for most smartphones.
For phone storage during runs or gym sessions, we offer DryTek Pocket Leggings with side leg pockets that accommodate phones up to 6.5 inches. Those pockets feature secure zip closures to prevent items from bouncing during movement.
These leggings should feel snug but not restrictive when you first put them on. The fabric stretches during movement to allow full range of motion, then recovers to provide compression support. You should be able to bend, squat, and stretch comfortably without any pulling or binding.
The waistband should sit flat against your skin without rolling or digging in. If you notice excess fabric bunching behind your knees or at your ankles, size down. If the waistband feels uncomfortably tight or leaves marks after wearing, size up.
When dried on low heat as directed, DryTek leggings maintain their original size and shape. High heat can cause the spandex fibers to contract, resulting in minor shrinkage — typically less than half an inch in length.
For best results, either tumble dry on low or hang to air dry. We’ve tested our leggings through 200+ wash and dry cycles using the recommended care instructions, and they retain their fit and compression performance throughout that lifespan.
Yes, the four-way stretch construction and moderate compression level make these leggings ideal for yoga and Pilates practice. The fabric moves naturally through deep stretches, forward folds, and inversions without restricting your range of motion.
Many yoga instructors in our testing program specifically praised the opaque coverage during downward dog and the stay-put waistband during vinyasa flow sequences. The flatlock seams prevent irritation during floor work and extended holds.
