I never had the perfect leggings for grappling. Most of my leggings, I had to wear compression shorts underneath, grappling shorts overtop or feel too naked…which is just uncomfortable! With these I don’t need shorts and I feel comfortable grappling, squatting, etc! They are amazing. The high waist is perfect. I never have to pull them up. Thanks for making the perfect leggings!!!
Casey –
I absolutely love these spats! They’re not see through, I never had to pull them up or adjust them (at the waist, thighs or ankles), plus no camel toe. I cannot recommend these enough!
Brittany Bley –
Remember as a kid, you’d get a pair of light up shoes, and you were 100% certain that those shoes actually made you faster.
I can’t say for sure whether my jiu jitsu has gotten better or if it’s the spats…. I’m just saying…. every since I’ve been wearing them, my scrambles are faster and more fluid then ever.
I’m a heavier set lady, I wear a size 16 pants, and I have a bit of a belly and a big ole’ booty on me. I ordered the XL. They fit perfectly. Every other pair of spats/or leggings I have ever used have been see through- and the waist band rolls down, and I have to readjust every 2-3 minutes in the middle of a round.
Since wearing the Gaidama spats, I have not had to readjust during the entire session. They stayed put for 15 hard 5 minutes rounds last Saturday without a single adjustment. The double panel around the crotch/butt area makes sure that even the biggest booties are covered, you can’t see A THING.
10/10 would recommend. Get you a pair, you won’t be disappointed.
Maria Carlucci –
I love the way they feel and fit. I never have a problem with them falling down and they’re not see through which is perfect!
Jordan Patrick –
I am AVID fitness goer and have been training Jiu Jitsu and strength and conditioning for nearly a decade now. I’ve worn just about every brand out there In the women’s “spats/leggings” department. I can attest that nothing compares to quality of these spats! They are THICK and you can’t see through them, they stay up through all your inversions and back to back bjj classes. You can’t go wrong. They will last!
Mahala Turner –
Without a doubt the best leggings/spats to roll in! They are super comfortable and stay in place with every movement!
Momo –
True to size .fit perfect, i love the high waist and the thicker band around my lower stomach 🙂 the way the cut on the booty is so flattering, make my booty look so good .and the fabric is amazing
Karla –
I love these spats. I exclusively wear these and my Hyperfly’s for no-gi. I have them in 2 sizes. I am 5’7” and 135 pounds. I bought them in medium, they fit on my waistline, but occasionally creep down while rolling, probably because I try to pull them up too high (my Hyperflys do the same thing). I also have them in large. They fit higher on my waist, but have extra space in the hips and calves and I prefer to use them for yoga, weight training, or just around the house. I love the fabric and the fact that there are extra layers. I thought I wouldn’t like the drawstring and that it would be bulky, but it’s not. I especially like that I can tighten the waist on the large size I have. The cut, the fabric, and the seams on the legs all all flattering. No camel toe either.
Gabby –
I am 5’6″ and float between 145-150 weight. I ordered a large and they fit well. Squat proof. Had no issues in jiu jitsu practice and mever had to readjust. I love spats that have pull strings. Looking forward to the new design.
Melody Smith –
Absolutely the best spats on the market. I use them primarily for teaching Yoga for BJJ and no matter how fast paced the class, these spats do not move. I don’t have to constantly readjust the waist, even after constant movement. No worries about showing anything either. Comfortable, well made, constructed by women for women and it shows in every single aspect. I tried these out for my first no-gi class and they exceeded all my expectations. I fully expect the same high performance for weightlifting as well.
Rachael –
First, let me say that I LOVE these leggings. I primarily train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I have both the first and second versions of the full length. You CANNOT see through this material. I know a lot of brands say that, and Ive bought them all only to be disappointed. That’s not the case with this brand. Legit, cannot see through them. I’ve done every bend test haha. Also, if you’re wondering about sizing, I’m 5’6 and 179lbs and wear a size XL. I’m smaller in the waist, but got a lot of junk in the trunk. The drawstring keeps the leggings in place very well.
Only issue that I had with the VERSION 2 of these leggings is that I came into contact with some velcro and it stuck to them. When I finally peeled myself off of the velcro, unfortunately the material pilled! I contacted Gaidama via Facebook and they responded quickly and offered to send me another pair, which I was so grateful for. AMAZING LEGGINGS AND AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE! Just do your best to avoid velcro with the version 2. I didn’t encounter this issue with the version 1 leggings.
Marné –
I am 5’-4” and 120lbs. I wear a size small and they fit me perfect. The fabric is amazing. It’s thick enough to provide the compression my knees need, but thin enough that it doesn’t stick to my pants when I wear them under my gi. The double panels are amazing and there are zero see through accidents. I no longer need to wear shorts over my spats for nogi! The high waited band stays put and doesn’t need to be readjusted. The band also helps “suck it in” and in contrast, gives my “booty” the pop it needs. I can’t tell you how much I love these. I have three pairs of spats and one pair of shorts and it’s not enough! Looking forward to new releases!
Pamela Swanson –
I REALLY like these, they fit like a glove, they feel great and I don’t have to pull them up roll after roll… BUT I wore them under my gi pants for one class and they are now pilling at the calf… I wanted these to be perfect and it feels like they ALMOST are! But definitely sad they are pilling after one wear under gi pants.
Keri –
These spats are amazing. They stay up while rolling, they feel nice, and there is no camel toe. It’s also great that they have a draw string so you can tighten/loosen depending on bloating.
Carla –
I have 10 pairs of spats and these are hands down the best I’ve ever had. They keep my mom tummy covered. I don’t even think about it when I roll. There is ZERO show through and they are very flattering. The women at my gym love them and ask about them (laugh). They’ve all had me turn around and do crazy poses, amazed that they stay in place. They are worth every dime. Completely happy, will buy more and suggest them all the time.
Sophia –
These pants are amazing. They’re compressive but don’t restrict motion at all, they wick sweat beautifully, insanely comfortable, and they stay up well. The v seam in the front lies right over the lower tummy and holds it in well so it’s flattering on the lower pooch. The v seam in the back is super flattering on the glutes. I love how stretchy they are. I bought these for powerlifting so I can’t say how they perform for grappling but they’re really good for lifting. I can squat and not have to pull the fabric back up over my butt and legs. All the flatlock stitching looks very clean and the pants looks high quality. I was worried about the elestic waist band cutting into me but it lies very flat and cinches the waist in just the right spot and doesn’t cause any undesirable bulging. Because the waistband is elastic and flat, it holds down my belly button piercing and it feels super secure. I don’t have to worry about my jewelry getting caught or roughed up through thin leggings. The double lining design reminds me of the Lululemon All the Right Places pant, but these are better. My one little nitpicking complaint would be that I don’t like the logo placement. I personally don’t like larger logos right on or above my butt but considering how great the pants are, it’s nothing I can’t overlook. These are hotgirl pants. And I’m always stronger when I’m in hotgirl pants.
For reference, I’m 5’2 140lbs 26-28in waist (depending on how recently I ate) and 41in hips 24in at the highest/thickest part of my thigh and size small fits me beautifully
Elizabeth Ortiz –
Got them , trained in them same day, I did the best I’ve ever done.. ?
These MFers are magical ?!
Getting black ones next week!
Rychelle –
These are INCREDIBLE. I’m convinced they are made of pure magic. I want to live in these. They are so soft and make me feel so secure. I’m pretty sure I could grapple an octopus and these babies wouldn’t move an inch.
jessica.dobbs89 –
These are the best spats I’ve ever owned. I no longer have to worry about constantly adjusting, or worried about them stretching and not being opaque (my biggest fear). The double paneling is my favorite feature. I can train at ease with no worries!! The quality and material is amazing and I could honestly live in them. Love them! 10/10 !
Kelly N. –
No more shorts under my leggings! These are amazing! Thank you for fixing a problem that a lot of women have when training bjj. I don’t feel naked, they don’t roll down, can’t see through them
and I feel supported.
Susan Helmholdt –
These spats are almost perfect. I wish I would have ordered a size up — at 5’10” and 135, the size chart put me at a small. But they are really tight around my thighs. Also, after wearing them consistently for about four months, the fabric is pilling a bit at the knees. Otherwise, I love the design and fit. The high waist is perfect. I don’t need to use the drawstrings, but I’m glad they are there for extra security. I never need to pull these up, and nothing shows through the fabric.
Teresa Armstrong –
BUY THESE!!! By far the best spats or leggings I have ever grappled in! I rolled for about an hour and did not have to adjust these once!!! That’s wild. Wish they would come in more colors… Hopefully in time! Obsessed is an understatement.
Misty –
These are amazing spats! I bought the for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training and they are perfect for it. They stay in place, they are NOT see through, and there is no camel toe! I bought them for bjj…. but I can’t wait for them to be restocked because I need more than 1 pair so that I can wear them more often!
For what it’s worth, I am 5’8″ , 140-145 lbs and I ordered the small. They fit very and come to just above my ankle.
Hannah –
These are my absolute favorite spats. I’ve competed in them multiple times and they are the only thing I grapple in at this point
Karla –
These leggings are perfect for grappling. They’re thick enough where I don’t feel I need to wear anything under or over them. The waistband is thick and it comes with a string so you can tighten it which helps keep these in place. I forget that spats riding up or down was even a problem for me until I forget to have these washed for no gi and have to use my other bjj spats. Granted, they don’t come in a bunch of colors like my other spats, but they are still very beautiful, high-quality leggings and completely worth it. The sizing is typical of other bjj brands, order a size up. I am normally a small in other sports leggings (think Adidas and Nike), but wear a size medium in these.
Stacey Edington –
I started bjj about 4 months ago and quickly realized I wanted to roll in spats without shorts. As a 5′ 5″ woman with a large bottom half, some belly, and some back rolls, finding comfortable spats has been exhausting. I also am focusing on buying clothing that do not trigger body anxiety. Here are the spats I’ve tried and their issues:
Fuji: FULL rear view
Pressure Grappling: Short waist band makes camel toe inevitable
Zenko Fightware: A little see through
So after all of those, I finally tried these. The reviews made me feel confident in buying them despite the $20 price difference. I’ve already worn them twice. Not see through AT ALL. According to the size chart I’m an XL but I don’t like my spats to compress me so I ordered a 2XL and they fit perfectly– no body anxiety triggers. The waist band is high but not too high. There is reinforcement in the thighs that prevents camel toe but doesn’t squeeze. I love them. I just wish they had about 5 more color options 🙂 because I would buy every one. Definitely get these. They are worth it!
Jenn –
The material feels and looks great! I was borderline between M and L at 160lb 5’6″. Based on my bottom heavy shape I knew I should have went for the L but of course I was vain and ordered M. Despite being tighter than I like, the seams (in the thigh for my shape) aren’t having any trouble keeping in my extra padding. I appreciate the wide waste band as well. It pushes my flab up (again my fault for ordering small) but its only vanity as they still feel super comfy during rolling! I did a stress test and they are not see through even a little bit. Super impressed and ordering another pair… in size L.
Eva –
I highly recommend these. They’re amazing! Super comfortable and stretchy. The sizing is on point.
Kelsey –
Holy smokes. The best spats ever made specifically for women. The high waist keeps everything in place and the drawstring adds another layer of security…there is no pulling up of these spats throughout rolling/wrestling/running/lifting/napping.
As a long-legged lady, the full length Avante Garde spats are my personal favorite and fit my frame perfectly.
For reference, I am 5’9″, 135lbs, and wear the smalls in all of the available bottoms.
Katie –
I’ve been training in Gaidama gear for the past year and a half, and no other grappling brand compares for female fits!
I have the Avant Garde spats in both black and dusky rose, and even through a 5-hour training camp, you couldn’t see sweat marks through the material at all. They are totally opaque and the inner drawstring keeps them in place all day long. The cut is ultra-flattering, and I feel more confident in my body wearing these spats. You won’t want to wear anything else!
Beatrice –
When I wear these spats I can honestly say I feel completely like myself. I have never worried about a wardrobe malfunction or someone seeing something they’re not supposed to see. No slippage, completely opaque no matter how inverted or banana split I am, no camel toe. The only thing I worry about when I wear these spats is my jiujitsu, which is how it should be. These are worth every penny. It’s not just the product, it’s the experience and mentality the product facilitates.
5’6” 135 lbs wearing medium
Alexis Fisher –
Great brand all around! The rash guards are the perfect length and don’t come as much while I roll. The shorts don’t move and keep everything in! Love to support a brand for women.
Jennifer –
These are just wonderful. I am 5’2” 140 ish thicker lower body. The medium fits great. I was worried they would be too long, but they are tight enough at the ankles to not bother me. I LOVE the thicker double layers around the butt and crotch areas. Got in some hard rolls without them falling down. I also love the high waist, feels very supportive. I probably have at least 30 pairs of various leggings/spats and these top them all.
Jess –
These are my favorite spats. I love the tie waist and love how they stay up. I recently ordered the shorts and rashguard and the quality is just as amazing as the spats. I can’t wait for more colors to come out in the spats – I’ll need 1 of each. I am 5’7” and 120 lbs. the small in everything fit me well. So happy I finally found a company with amazing quality no gi gear.
Jenna Carr –
These are easily my favorite leggings! Super comfy and flattering and secure. I definitely need more!
Kassidy –
I just got a pair of these in Dusky Rose and I love them! They fit wonderfully! They are so comfortable that I didn’t want to take them off. Four plus hours on the mat and I didn’t have to adjust them or constantly keep pulling them up! Can’t wait for a restock so I can get another pair in black!
Megan Redman –
These are BY FAR the best grappling leggings around. As a curvier girl it’s been extremely hard finding legging that fit just right. These leggings are tight enough to where they don’t fall down (thanks to the drawstring) but loose enough to where you don’t feel too sucked in. I love them!!
Cass –
Let me tell you. At 220-225lbs and not very tall, it is hard to find anything to wear for jiujitsu. I’ve been through a ton of leggings. THESE ARE IT. I’ve never felt more seen/included with a brand before. I wore them on my day where I do both boxing and jiujitsu and these did not move. I did not have to touch them once. I hold most of my weight in my legs and butt, and I never once had to adjust the legs or pull them up AND the tie waist eliminated the dreaded gap I get whenever I buy leggings to fit my legs. These fit all around 100% . They’re also incredibly flattering. It was also amazing to have the high waist coverage. All GI pants only cover the bottom half of my butt and these helped me feel covered when I’m usually very self conscious about the Gi not fitting.

Laylah Watkins –
I absolutely love these spats! They fit great, they aren’t see through at all, and I love the buttery soft fabric! I wear them to roll in class, for bjj competitions, working out and just around the house. They are super comfortable and super high quality!
Cristina Monticelli –
These are the best spats I’ve ever owned! I’ve made the mistake in the past of ordering ‘women’s spats’ only to find out they are see through, and my tattoo could be shown through the material. Gaidama has answered my prayers.
Rachel Hall –
These are the best compression leggings there are! The high rise is perfect and the drawstring makes sure they stay in place. The material is so good and the fit is amazing. I won’t train in any other spats!
Bethany G. –
I’m 5’5” | 125 lbs. and the size Small fits perfectly, especially with the new and improved design adding an extra ~1.5” in the waist! I found the old design to be just a tad bit too tight, but I still wear them well (I pulled the drawstring out on those). Soft, stretchy, great coverage, and compression in all the right places!
Marné –
These are my absolute favorite spats in the world. They feel like butter! The fit is impeccable. You never have to worry about camel toe, whale tails or any see through accidents. The waistband is slimming and they never need to be adjusted during training. The compression is great for my knees. I recommend these to anyone and everyone.
arcolinapanto –
Perfect spats. So happy to have discovered Gaidama. At no gi class yesterday, friend and I laughed about wearing same spats and agreed: if they’re Gaidama, they’re great. Best I’ve tried by far and fit different body types well.
Ren K –
Ummmm these are amazing. Don’t let the price tag hold you back, the quality and the confidence these give you make them worth every penny.
I want every color. I’ve been wearing my black ones 1-2 times a week for the last few months and they still look new.
I like a more compressiony fit so I do a size S and I’m 5’5 148 lbs size 4/6.
Karris –
These spats live up to the hype! I’m about 120 lbs 5’7” and got the xs. The fit perfectly and are very comfortable!
Mendi Carlson –
These are the most comfortable spats I’ve ever worn. They are butter soft, supportive, no show, and so very well made. I love the fact that there is not a center seam and the high waist means I can perform without worrying about what I am wearing.
Chrissy –
Amazing spats, love the tie inside and they make my 🍑 looks good and it’s squat proof, legit wear these every day, I need a pair for everyday of the week
Brad –
My daughter received her Avant Garde Spats today and hasn’t stopped talking about how great they fit, how amazing they feel, and can’t wait for class tonight to test them out fully. Thank you /team/ for the incredible work on the gear and supporting women and the planet. This made the start of her 2023 amazing! Happy New year! A very thankful father and daughter. (We thought the reviews seem too good to be true, so happy that they really are true)
