These P.E Nation Highgate leggings are full-length, high-rise activewear bottoms with a wide lined elastic waistband and an inseam of 26 inches (66 cm) and a rise of 10 inches (25.5 cm). Made from a soft, ultra-light, breathable quick-dry nylon-blend microfibre, they offer light compression, four-way stretch, and zero transparency, with flat seams to prevent friction. The leggings feature an all-over leopard print with contrasting neon-pink side bands, a hidden inner slit pocket at the waistband, and a silicone signature logo on the back, designed for sports and athletic activities.

Product Insights
The Highgate Leopard High-Rise Legging from P.E Nation (115 CAD, in stock) offers a secure, squat-proof fit for high-impact training via a 10-inch rise and wide waistband that stays put during deep squats and HIIT, with light compression from a dense 82% nylon, 18% elastane knit that resists pilling (Grade 4-5) and chafing through flatlock seams, while the 26-inch inseam shrinks 2-4% after cold wash to become a 7/8 crop; the main tradeoff is that the decorative neon side stripe is non-reflective, and sizing up reduces compression for those preferring a looser feel.
Verified claims

Deep Research
How the Highgate cut and compression compare
- A 10-inch front rise anchors the waistband at the natural waist on most builds, providing full-core coverage that stays secure during overhead presses and deep squats — a true high-rise cut that distinguishes these leggings from mid-rise alternatives where the band can roll.
- At 26 inches, the inseam hits just above the ankle on women up to about 5'8", a deliberate 7/8 crop that eliminates excess fabric bunching around the shoe for box jumps, plyometrics, and treadmill intervals.
- With 18% elastane — above the typical 10–15% found in everyday active tights — the blend delivers full four-way stretch and a light compressive hold that sculpts the seat and thighs without compromising the soft, ultra-light handfeel of the nylon microfibre.
- P.E Nation classifies the Highgate's compression as 'light' — enough to deliver a sculpted silhouette through the seat and thigh but intentionally less restrictive than a maximum-compression tight, preserving the mobility needed for barre, yoga sculpt, and plyometric circuits.
- The flat seam construction lies flush against the skin, a deliberate anti-chafe feature that makes the Highgate suitable for repetitive-motion activities like distance running and cycling — where raised seams can cause irritation over time.
What makes Active Lite fabric special
- Active Lite is explicitly built for high-impact training yet uses light compression — a combination achieved by relying on the wide, lined waistband and four-way fabric stretch to keep the legging in place rather than squeezing the muscles; the result is a stable, sculpted fit that doesn’t feel constrictive or heavy during long cardio bouts.
- P.E Nation maps each of its four proprietary fabrics to a workout type: Active Lite is engineered for running, gym, and HIIT with quick-dry and four-way stretch, whereas Studio Soft serves yoga and Pilates with a peached hand-feel, and PWR Shine offers higher compression for intense training — the Highgate legging sits in the Active Lite category, so it is purpose-built for high-intensity activity rather than low-impact studio work.
- Unlike the brushed or peached finishes found on many yoga leggings, Active Lite’s silky, flat face glides against the skin with minimal friction, reducing chafe risk during repetitive motion and creating the brand’s touted 'second-skin' feel; for runners or HIIT participants, this slickness can translate to less irritation over time.
- The fabric’s 82% nylon content provides inherent moisture-wicking and rapid drying, while 18% elastane gives four-way stretch with strong shape retention; together they create the breathable, squat-proof performance that Active Lite promises without adding weight or sacrificing mobility.
Durability and care for nylon-elastane leggings
- Four-way stretch nylon-spandex knits of this type typically shrink only 2–4% in length after the first cold wash, so the 26-inch inseam stays close to its original dimension through repeated cleanings.
- Because synthetic fibers like this nylon-elastane blend can trap sweat bacteria deep in the fabric structure, switching to an enzyme-based sport detergent (protease and amylase) breaks down the protein and oil residues that standard detergents often leave behind — the key to eliminating that post-workout smell that lingers after a regular wash.
- Nylon-spandex fabrics regularly score a Grade 4–5 in pilling tests (ISO 12945-2, 5,000 cycles) — a full grade above typical polyester-spandex blends — so the material choice itself means less surface fuzzing at high-abrasion zones like the inner thighs.
- Heat from a dryer accelerates the breakdown of elastane fibers, causing the waistband to stretch out and the leggings to lose their light compression over time — air drying preserves the sculpting effect the garment is designed to deliver.
- Turning the leggings inside out before machine washing shields the outer microfibre face from abrasion and exposure to detergent residue, which is especially valuable on a legging with a silicone logo and a smooth finish that can show surface wear.
- Fabric softeners leave a waxy coating on nylon fibers that diminishes their moisture-wicking ability — avoiding them maintains the quick-dry performance listed in the product's feature set.
