Weighted Vests Had Their Moment. Now I’m All About Weighted Pants

The Omorpho G-Tight is a pair of leggings with MicroLoad™ weights stitched into the fabric. Instead of clunky ankle straps or a bulky vest, the resistance is spread evenly across your legs so you barely notice it—until you realize your walk, barre set or yoga flow just feels a little more challenging. Research backs this up: studies show that even tiny amounts of wearable resistance can bump up calorie burn, engage more muscle, and help maintain bone strength over time. 

Over a month, I put the Omorpho G-Tight leggings through just about every scenario I could think of. I wore them on my daily walks—sometimes paired with a weighted vest, sometimes not, depending on how vigilante I wanted to look. I kept them on while running errands, cooking dinner, even sitting at my desk for hours, curious whether the weight would start to feel distracting (it didn’t). And, of course, I tried them in low-impact workouts like Pilates.

Why I Became Kinda Obsessed with Them

Every time I put on the Omorpho G-Tight I felt like I was Black Panther walking out of lululemon. There’s definitely a battle armor look to the miniature weights embedded throughout, but the leggings still feel like totally normal high-quality yoga pants—there’s even a bit of sculpting action if I do say so myself—and the Cool-Touch fabric is exactly that, cool to the touch. 

The one pound of weight is distributed evenly (and avoids the joints), so I never felt like I was wearing anything cumbersome. Instead, the pants just provide more pressure, like a hug, which I personally like. When it came to working out with them, I couldn’t feel the increased burn until after. During Pilates, I forgot I was wearing them. I honestly didn’t notice any difference until the next day when my muscles felt sorer than usual. That said, I definitely feel the extra weight the most after a long walk, which makes sense since that’s when my legs are consistently moving for a longer period of time. Plus, after all that (read: a little) exercise, the G-Tights are straightforward to wash in the machine and hang dry.

Bottom Line 

The G-Tight’s one pound micro-load might sound trivial, but over the course of a walk, Pilates session, or even just standing at my desk, it’s giving my bones and core that extra nudge. For me, it’s not just about calorie burn or sculpted legs; it’s about knowing I’m layering in tiny, daily investments in my long-term strength and bone health. Plus, who doesn’t need an extra black pair of leggings in their lineup?
