Old Navy's PowerSoft fabric is the kids' activewear sweet spot — soft, lightly compressive, and built to handle recess, gymnastics, and everything in between. Parents on Reddit consistently recommend Old Navy for affordable, durable kids' athletic leggings.
Old Navy PowerSoft leggings are what you buy when your kid actually moves. The fabric is genuinely impressive for the price, and the inclusive sizing (including tall options online) makes them a rare find for growing kids.
“Old Navy sells tall sizes online (not in stores). They have a good athletic selection and jean selection.”
