Customer photo review of Chickens Women's Activewear Leggings

Love the pattern on these they’re as comfy to wear as all my other pairs. Easy to wash and dry, no ironing either.

Customer photo review of Capybara Women's Activewear Leggings

Exactly what I'd hoped! Love the colour and design and how vibrant and cute it is. The fit is comfy and the length is ideal. Perfect leggings as always!

Capybara Women's Activewear Leggings

Excellent capris as always to get me through my next Ultra. Really comfortable and the pockets are generous so I don't feel like the contents will fall out. The cows always get a really good reception up in the Highlands! Delivery and communication was above and beyond. Will buy more again 😊

Purple Highland Cow Women's Activewear Leggings

This is my first purchase of the activewear range. I have been waiting for the netball design to be back in stock. I love the zipped pocket as well as deep side pockets. And the netball ladies were very impressed with the design. My one disappointment is that I have a long body and the waistband is not quite high enough for me - I was constantly pulling them up.

Netball Women's Activewear Leggings

Comfy and stretchy - I wear them for running and they are great

Women's Activewear Leggings

Finding sports leggings for myself being tall and bigger has always been a struggle. But I'm in safe hands with rainbows and sprinkles. Perfect length (extra long). Great sizes available. Fun prints. Good size pockets. Perfect.

Women's Activewear Leggings

I'm now up to my 8th pair! The BEST quality and the patterns really brighten up my day. Super comfortable and wash really well without fading. And pockets!!

Happy Camper Women's Activewear Leggings

Great service and nice product. Sizing is a bit odd compared to the size guide and the 33" leggings are far too long for my 35"inside leg but it's a novel problem to have!

Customer photo review of Women's Activewear Leggings

These are so comfortable, the sizing is spot on- I actually have leggings that fit my short little legs! Really good fit (especially crotch area) and the pockets are a huge win. Not going to shop for active wear anywhere else now!

Women's Activewear Leggings

I was thinking of getting some leggings for when I go walking on camping holidays and bought some of the camping patterned leggings, having seen my daughter-in-law's dinosaur ones. I am not disappointed. They are very comfortable and I love the pattern. The adjustable waist was an unexpected bonus as I often have to alter the waist on trousers and it was great not to have to with these.

My puffin active wear capri trousers are what I am wearing in this heatwave in Cardiff. They are cool, quirky and delightful to wear. Might just have to order some more...

Customer photo review of Thistles Women's Active Shorts

Amazing as always. Have ran a Half Marathon in them as well as a few 10k runs. No chafing and lots of deep pockets plus they don’t slip down - love the quality.

Customer photo review of Kingfisher Women's Activewear Leggings

After losing an incredible 13 stone, I finally needed to replace my old Rainbow & Sprinkles leggings, and there was no question about where I'd be buying my new pair from! The quality is absolutely brilliant, the designs perfectly match my personality, and I just love the fit—they're so comfortable whether I'm working or out exploring. I chose the Kingfisher leggings because I'll be wearing them on my birdwatching trips to the hide, hoping they'll bring me a bit of luck when I'm out spotting kingfishers! As an outdoor education specialist who spends most of my working life outdoors, I need clothing that's comfortable, practical, and durable, and these leggings tick every box. One of my favourite features is the thigh pocket—it easily fits my 500ml water bottle, which is incredibly handy when I'm on the move. I couldn't be happier with my new leggings and would highly recommend them!

Kingfisher Women's Activewear Leggings

Fabulous colours and designs. They fit beautifully. Really pleased with them. Wore my Hummingbird leggings (one of my older leggings) all day for work recently and was impressed that I could pack all day (including reaching down into a 'floor to hip' length bag) and not have to pull my leggings up or adjust them once !! 💜💜 Love my collection of your leggings !! 😁😁

Thistles Women's Activewear Leggings

Really comfy and nice feeling material. I am normally a size 12 in leggings and the 10-12 fits perfectly. I am 5’5” and the regular length is also perfect. Side pockets are really useful and the leggings have washed well so far. Very happy.

High Performance Navy Women's Activewear Leggings (Dual Pocket)

I was super excited to see these as I have the green ones in a larger size so when I saw the purple (favourite colour) I had to get them. I’ve lost weight recently so was able to get them in a smaller size. They look fab on. I love these for their comfort and pockets. I’m currently still wearing the larger size of these too as still comfy. I wear my many pairs of these leggings daily on my dog walks. It adds a bit of fun to my day and possibly to others as I walk by.

I’ve lost weight recently so wanted to get a smaller size and saw this pattern and thought it looked fun. It is and looks fab on. I love these for their comfort and pockets. I wear them daily on my dog walks.

Thistles Women's Activewear Leggings

The new style legging appear to have additional seaming on the legs, which have altered how they fit on me and are not imho as comfortable as they once were. Really sad about this as I now have find a different stockist.😭

Splashing Whales Women's Activewear Leggings

Thought I would treat myself to another pair of rainbows and sprinkles leggings as I love my old ones and the texture of fabric. I preorders the thistle leggings which are a nice pattern but I am a bit disappointed that the Fabric is not quite a soft as my old pairs. Haven’t worn them yet as too hot!

Thistles Women's Activewear Leggings

These are my 3rd pair of leggings from Rainbows and Sprinkles. They always get compliments and are so comfortable and durable - I wear them for biking, hiking, running, dancing. Love them!
