Women's Workout Leggings: Comparing REP's Hera and Eos Tights

When it comes to gym wear, comfort, functionality, and style are key. REP’s Hera Tights and Eos Tights both offer these qualities, but each is tailored for different needs and preferences. Whether you’re lifting heavy, attending a yoga class, or enjoying a casual day out, understanding the differences between these two workout leggings can help you make the best choice for your wardrobe. 

Don’t like to read? Here’s a quick glance at some of the main differences.  

Hera Tights: High Compression for High Performance 

The Hera Tights are designed for female lifters who demand both style and performance in their gym gear. These high-waisted women’s black leggings and navy blue leggings offer a high-compression fit, making them ideal for intense workouts where support and coverage are crucial. The moisture-wicking polyester and spandex blend ensures that the tights are completely squat-proof, giving you the confidence to push through your toughest sets without any worries. 

No awkward moments at the bottom of your squat.  

One of the standout features of the Hera Tights is their four-way stretch fabric, which provides flattering compression while allowing unrestricted movement. The multiple inseam options and flatlock stitching add to the comfort and functionality, reducing bulk and minimizing the risk of chafing. Plus, the tights include a hidden waistband pocket and a high hip pocket, perfect for securely storing small items like your phone or keys during your workout. 

No jingle jangle while running on the treadmill.  

Available in black and navy, the Heras are versatile options that not only perform well in the gym but also look fire outside of it. Thoughtful design lines elongate the legs, and the under-leg gusset enhances range of motion, ensuring that these workout leggings move with you during any activity. You can find them here.  

Eos Tights: Low Compression for Everyday Comfort 

On the other hand, the Eos Tights are perf for those who prefer a lower compression fit, offering a balance between performance and comfort. These tights are made from the same high-quality polyester-spandex blend but with a softer, more relaxed fit compared with the Hera Tights. The Eos Tights are ideal for lower-impact activities like yoga, running, or even lounging at home rewatching “Game of Thrones.”  

Despite their lighter compression, the Eos Tights still provide super coverage and remain squat proof (and downward dog proof). The high-waist design and clean aesthetic, combined with flattering side and back seams, ensure that these women's leggings look just as good outside the gym as they do while you’re doing tree pose. 

The Eos Tights also feature reduced stitching, with no inseam or front waistband stitching, which minimizes bulk and makes them more comfy. Like the Heras, they come with a hidden waistband pocket for small items and an under-leg gusset that relieves crotch tension.  

Eos Tights come in black leggings, mauve leggings, and olive leggings. Versatility, baby.
