00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 Hey guys, and welcome back to my channel.
00:16 So today we are reviewing a really hyped up
00:19 activewear brand and it's called Navigation.
00:21 So Navigation is Ashley Jordan's activewear line
00:25 and she's like a super big, like 2 million followers,
00:28 super big fitness person on Instagram.
00:30 And she has an amazing butt, you know, as a lot of them do.
00:34 So they're really famous for their,
00:36 both their booty scrunch leggings.
00:37 And today I'm just reviewing their booty contour leggings,
00:40 which are probably their most hyped ones.
00:42 These literally sell out so fast.
00:44 I was like kind of deciding for like literally five minutes
00:47 between getting the khaki color and the pink color.
00:51 And by the time it was like,
00:52 I think it launched was like 10 a.m. where I was.
00:55 By the time it was 10.05, the only option was the gray.
00:57 So I was like, okay, I guess if we want to get these
01:00 leggings, we're just going to get the gray color.
01:01 So it's definitely one of those companies
01:03 that sells out super quick.
01:04 So do be mindful of that.
01:06 And this is an actual honest review.
01:09 I bought these with my own money.
01:11 They did not send these to me.
01:12 There's no affiliation with Navigation
01:14 or Ashley Jordan or anything.
01:16 So I actually do have a few complaints about these leggings
01:19 and the company.
01:20 So, and I don't feel like I've heard a lot of other people
01:22 in their reviews talk about this.
01:24 So if you're looking for the actual truth on some things,
01:28 then make sure to keep watching.
01:29 So these leggings are $48 US
01:31 and they don't have any free shipping.
01:33 So by the time it was all said and done,
01:35 I was paying like 55, $56 to get these leggings to my door.
01:39 So they're definitely up there in price.
01:41 They're around Gymshark kind of style prices.
01:43 So I'm definitely expecting pretty high quality leggings.
01:46 So like I said, about the colors,
01:48 they have expanded their color range.
01:49 They used to just have this color,
01:51 but now they have this color, which is the blue color.
01:54 They also have khaki, pink and a speckled black color,
01:58 which is just more of like a true gray color,
02:00 kind of like my jacket.
02:02 So these leggings do have a few key details.
02:04 The first is obviously the under booty contour.
02:07 And when I looked at these leggings,
02:08 I thought the under booty contour was kind of small,
02:10 but it actually really like stretches out
02:12 when you put on the leggings
02:14 'cause we'll talk about this later,
02:15 but these leggings are super stretchy.
02:18 So yeah, they have the under booty contour,
02:19 just kind of a darker shaded
02:21 little like crescent moon shape thing.
02:24 And with these, you definitely have to adjust it
02:26 so it's right underneath your booty.
02:27 It definitely wasn't like
02:28 when I put on the leggings right away,
02:30 it didn't fall right underneath my butt.
02:31 I kind of had to like work it to get it there,
02:34 but it's definitely possible to get it under your butt
02:36 because these are super stretchy.
02:37 It just wasn't like super natural to get it there.
02:40 They also do have a nice little side contour detailing.
02:43 It doesn't really add much shape to the leg,
02:45 but it kind of just adds like a nice little
02:47 like design feature.
02:49 These leggings also have a nice thick ribbed waistband.
02:52 It's a few inches high, pretty good height,
02:54 offers a little bit of compression as well.
02:56 It is ribbed, kind of reminds me of a Gymshark
02:58 like ombre seamless waistband,
03:00 but definitely holds its shape really well
03:03 and it doesn't stretch out.
03:04 So the logo is actually embroidered into the waistband,
03:07 which I think is a really nice touch
03:09 because a lot of leggings will just like put on
03:11 like a little vinyl.
03:12 And after so many washes,
03:14 like you can just peel those things right off
03:15 so they're not actually very good quality.
03:17 So I really appreciate the attention to detail
03:19 they put in here.
03:20 The seams also feel like very good quality.
03:23 I haven't noticed any loose stitching or anything
03:25 and they seem pretty flexible as well.
03:29 So I don't have any problems with the quality there either.
03:31 In terms of length, I'll correct myself if I'm wrong
03:33 after I look at the try on,
03:34 but I believe these were about a seven eighths length on me.
03:37 So definitely not full, full length.
03:39 So for the fabric,
03:40 they don't actually list the fabric composition
03:42 on the website, which always bothers me
03:44 because like I kind of want to know
03:46 what the fabric of a legging is,
03:47 if I'm like, you know, buying it for the first time.
03:49 So I don't actually have any like composition information
03:52 for that, but I'm going to give you as much detail as I can.
03:55 The fabric is a little marled fabric,
03:58 as you can see close up.
03:59 It's very, just very slightly marled.
04:01 She doesn't really look very marled from far away.
04:03 The fabric is also very, very thin.
04:05 Like I tried it on and I was like,
04:07 it almost felt like kind of cheap in a way
04:09 because it was so thin.
04:11 And like with that thinness, they have a lot of stretch.
04:13 Like literally one of the stretchiest leggings
04:15 I've ever put on.
04:16 Like these are really,
04:18 this fabric is really something else,
04:19 but they're just like super, super thin.
04:22 I wasn't expecting that.
04:23 With this thinness, you're definitely going to see
04:25 like underwear lines and definitely cellulite.
04:27 So this isn't doing any favors in terms of hiding anything
04:30 uneven under the leggings.
04:32 How it feels, it almost has a slick texture,
04:35 but it's not that like shiny slick texture.
04:37 And it's definitely not like cottony or brushed in any way.
04:40 So it's not like Lululemon aligns like at all
04:42 with that like softness,
04:44 but it doesn't have fabric that's like going to pill
04:46 or anything.
04:47 And it's just like, feels like smooth to the touch.
04:50 So these are definitely not a compression legging.
04:53 It's definitely good if you're not trying to like
04:54 squish the booty down in any way,
04:55 because they definitely are very, very stretchy
04:57 and weightless.
04:59 But yeah, if you're looking for a compression legging,
05:01 these aren't going to really suck you in in anywhere,
05:03 except for maybe the waistband,
05:04 because that is double thickness.
05:06 As for sizing, they do come extra small to extra large.
05:09 And I would also say these are true to size.
05:11 I have my normal size small
05:12 and I also have my measurements down below.
05:14 So the fabric is very stretchy.
05:16 So even if these do look a little small,
05:18 like when I like picked these up, I was like,
05:20 oh, are those going to fit me?
05:21 But even though they look small,
05:23 I think definitely go to your normal size
05:24 because these still definitely fit me.
05:26 I didn't feel like they were like tight in any places
05:28 that they shouldn't be.
05:29 And I also looked at their sizing chart
05:31 and I really liked their sizing
05:32 because it does allow for more room in like the hip area.
05:35 And it's a bit more tapered in the waist.
05:37 And a lot of brands like don't really put like
05:39 a big difference within like waist and hip sizing.
05:42 But for me, I have like a smaller waist
05:43 and like, you know, have a little bit of a butt.
05:46 So you want to have sizing that like accommodates for that.
05:48 These leggings definitely cater more towards
05:50 like the athletically built crowd.
05:51 Like they have like, you know,
05:52 more room in the legs, butt area,
05:54 a little tighter in the waist,
05:55 which I think is really cool that they're trying to do.
05:57 Okay, so now onto some issues with these leggings.
06:00 The moment I put these on,
06:02 I actually couldn't even wear them to the gym that day
06:04 because I thought it was so bad,
06:05 but the crotch gathers so much fabric.
06:08 Like this is extreme single camel.
06:11 Like I didn't have any double camel problems,
06:12 but like really bad single camel.
06:15 I'll insert clips, but like,
06:17 it's like more than any other pair of leggings I tried.
06:19 If you want the booty contour to be underneath your butt,
06:21 you have to pull up the leggings a little bit.
06:23 And I didn't feel like the waistband
06:24 was like really, really too high on me.
06:26 I didn't feel like I was hiking them up all that much.
06:28 But if you pull anything down to like get rid of that,
06:31 the waistband is really low
06:33 and the booty contour is not underneath your booty.
06:34 So there's really no way around this.
06:36 And I posted on my Instagram story that I was like,
06:38 does anyone else have these issues?
06:40 And like 10 of you like replied,
06:41 like I wish you had said this before I bought these leggings
06:44 because like it totally happens on me.
06:45 And like I had to sell my leggings.
06:47 Like it was so bad I couldn't wear them to the gym.
06:50 Like I found some other pictures of people wearing
06:52 these leggings that like really gathers there.
06:54 And it's just not cute to me.
06:56 Like you should really be able to like
06:58 figure out your legging sizing enough
06:59 that there's not like so much gaping
07:01 and like gathering around the crotch.
07:02 Like usually I don't mind like a little crotch gathering,
07:05 like a little single camel is not gonna hurt anyone.
07:08 But like these leggings are so thin
07:10 that it really, it's not for me.
07:12 It also kind of looks like it does this on Ashley as well,
07:15 who like made these leggings.
07:16 So like maybe it's not a big deal to her.
07:18 Navigation, if you're watching this,
07:20 please try to fix this because I think that the leggings
07:22 would be so cute without this large issue.
07:25 No one wants all that attention
07:26 being drawn to your crotch, you know?
07:28 Also, I'm kind of having an issue
07:29 with their like customer service as well.
07:32 So I messaged them like months and months ago
07:34 asking if they had like return policy on their leggings.
07:38 Never replied.
07:39 They also don't have an actual return service
07:41 on their leggings.
07:42 Nowhere on their website did I find anything about returns.
07:44 I think maybe the only thing I found on returns
07:46 was that like you could email them.
07:48 But I had talked to some other people
07:49 who had issues with the leggings as well
07:51 and they were like, no, I just had to sell my leggings
07:53 because their return policy really wasn't working for them.
07:56 And like they just weren't really replying
07:57 to the return emails.
07:59 And for a company with like kind of more like luxurious,
08:01 like more expensive leggings,
08:03 I really think that you should have a return service
08:06 or at least like a way to return the leggings
08:08 so that you get money back.
08:09 Or like even if they don't pay for the return shipping,
08:12 like I would like some kind of return service
08:14 because sometimes you don't know what size to get
08:16 and it's not very clear
08:17 or the leggings have issues that you don't really like.
08:20 So definitely wish that they would improve
08:22 their customer service and had a return portal.
08:25 Also, I'm pretty sure I found their exact crossbody tops
08:28 that they have, that they've been selling on Amazon.
08:32 So I'm gonna link those down below,
08:34 but like these look exactly like their crossbody tops.
08:36 Okay, and onto some more details.
08:38 In terms of sweat proof,
08:40 we just have to come to the conclusion
08:41 that there's no way to make leggings sweat proof
08:44 unless they're like black
08:45 or they have like a really intricate pattern on them
08:47 that you're just not gonna notice the sweat,
08:49 but these are gonna show some sweat.
08:50 They're gray color, you get water on them, they show it.
08:53 We already talked about camel toe.
08:55 I actually didn't really have
08:56 any double camel problems with this,
08:57 but we know about the single camel.
09:00 And like I said about the cellulite before,
09:01 you might have a little bit of help with the cellulite
09:03 because the fabric is slightly marled
09:05 and you have a booty contour,
09:07 but for the most part, this fabric is so, so thin
09:09 I really don't think that you're going to get any help
09:12 with cellulite there.
09:13 So in terms of squat proofness,
09:15 I actually just watched the squat test
09:17 and they're not entirely squat proof.
09:19 Like there's definitely some sheerness at the bottom.
09:23 I probably give them like a six out of 10 squat proofness.
09:26 You'll see the clip,
09:28 but definitely not entirely squat proof,
09:30 which again with $50 leggings,
09:33 I would like them to be squat proof to be honest.
09:35 Yeah, actually when I look through the fabric,
09:39 I can, oh my gosh.
09:40 You can probably see me through the fabric.
09:42 Hello, can you see me?
09:43 Oh my gosh, see, see?
09:45 Guys, these leggings were super hyped
09:48 and I have to say I was a little disappointed.
09:51 Yes, I am selling mine.
09:53 So if you want to buy them,
09:55 they'll probably be on Poshmark.
09:56 So, all right, well thank you guys so much for watching
09:59 and I hope that's all the details about these leggings.
10:01 If it isn't, please leave me a comment down below
10:03 and I'll try to answer your questions
10:05 and I'll see you next time.
10:06 Bye.
