Product Overview
The Finden & Hales Kids Team Leggings are a thoughtfully engineered garment designed to meet the rigorous demands of youth sports and active lifestyles. Constructed with a focus on both physical performance and environmental responsibility, these leggings provide a substantial, supportive fit that young athletes can rely on. By utilising a high-waisted design and removing side seams, the garment minimises irritation and ensures a secure fit during high-intensity movement.
Beyond the functional design, these leggings represent a commitment to sustainable manufacturing. Incorporating 80% recycled polyester into the fabric blend ensures that while your team is performing at their best, you are also making a conscious choice for the planet. The dense interlock knit provides excellent opacity and durability, making them a staple for any sports kit or dance uniform.
Key Features
- High-Waisted Profile: The elevated waistband offers a secure, locked-in feel that prevents the garment from slipping during exercise.
- Integrated Inner Drawcord: Allows for a precise, adjustable fit to accommodate growing athletes and ensure the leggings remain in place.
- Concealed Zip Phone Pocket: Located discreetly on the rear waistband, this provides a secure location for essentials without interfering with movement.
- Seamless Side Construction: The absence of side seams reduces friction against the skin, significantly increasing comfort during prolonged wear.
- Tear-Out Label: Facilitates easy rebranding, making these leggings an ideal choice for clubs or schools wishing to add their own internal labelling.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition is a technical blend of 80% recycled polyester and 20% elastane interlock. This specific construction results in a substantial, heavyweight fabric that provides a high degree of stretch and recovery. Unlike lighter alternatives, the interlock knit ensures the garment remains squat-proof and retains its shape wash after wash.
The performance-led design focuses on ergonomic comfort. By removing the side seams, the garment allows for a full range of motion without the risk of chafing, which is a common complaint in lower-quality athletic wear. The inclusion of elastane ensures the fabric moves with the wearer, providing compression and support where it is needed most.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These leggings are suitable for both print and embroidery, allowing for versatile branding options. For a refined, professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for small club crests or school logos on the upper hip or waistband. Embroidery provides a durable, high-quality finish that withstands the rigours of frequent use.
Alternatively, heat-applied print is an excellent choice for larger, bold designs such as team names or sponsors along the lower leg. Since 1976, our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques, ensuring that your customisation is applied with precision and longevity in mind. We can advise on the best placement to ensure your branding remains visible and vibrant.
Use Cases
These leggings are designed for a variety of high-energy environments. They are particularly well-suited for school PE kits, dance academies, and competitive athletics clubs. The sturdy fabric and secure pocket also make them a practical choice for outdoor training and weekend sports activities where durability is a primary concern.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes for young athletes, we recommend referring to the height-based sizing guide (e.g., 110/116cm) to ensure the best fit across the leg length. These leggings are designed for a compression-style fit; however, if a child is between sizes, opting for the larger size may provide a longer period of wear as they grow. Layering these under shorts is also a common practice for outdoor winter training to provide additional warmth.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and technical properties of these leggings, we recommend a synthetic wash at 30°C. Washing at lower temperatures helps to preserve the elastane fibres, ensuring the leggings retain their stretch and recovery properties over time. We advise washing with similar colours to prevent any potential colour transfer.
It is vital to avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the recycled polyester fibres and reduce the fabric's natural ability to wick moisture and breathe. Furthermore, do not bleach or dry clean this garment, as harsh chemicals will degrade the recycled materials and damage any applied customisation.
Air drying is highly recommended. You must not tumble dry these leggings, as the high heat can cause the elastane to become brittle and eventually snap, leading to a loss of shape. If ironing is necessary, use a low setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas to prevent damage to the branding.
