Prana Transform High-Waisted Capri Review
Our Verdict
Our Analysis and Test Results
The Prana Transform High Waisted Capri is made with 88% Supplex Nylon and 12% Lycra. They come in four dark and plain color options and are sized from XS to plus size.
Performance Comparison
Breathability
The Transform earned good scores across the board in almost every metric, including breathability. The material vents well and is moisture-wicking, though not quite as thin as the models we preferred for heated classes.
Ease of Movement
The ease of movement was nearly perfect, and we felt comfortable throughout every class we took, from power yoga to yin. While they aren't quite as stretchy as some other options, they go above and beyond most competitors.
Comfort and Fit
Comfort is the area where we were a little disappointed by the Transform Capri. The material is your typical Nylon/Elastane blend and is pretty soft and smooth against the skin, and we enjoyed the way the material felt. However, we didn't like the waistband as much. Even though it consists of a thin piece of elastic, it feels a bit too tight for our taste, though you can mitigate this by sizing up (so long as it fits you properly elsewhere).
Durability
We appreciate the durability of the Transform Capri, as the material resisted pilling and didn't stretch out or lose its shape quickly. We have been unimpressed with Prana in the past, as some pairs seem to pill instantly, which was not the case this time.
Should You Buy the Prana Transform High-Waisted Capri?
The Prana Transform Capri is an excellent pair of tights for yoga, particularly if they fit you comfortably. They were a little tight around the waist, and we would recommend sizing up if you prefer not to have everything completely squished in. They're ideal for various yoga classes and provide exceptional ease of movement, and one of our favorite yoga pant styles for those who prefer capri length bottoms.
What Other Yoga Pants Should You Consider?
The Transform Capri is priced a bit lower than other high-end yoga pants, but not enough lower that it is an incredible value. If you are looking for a more affordable pair to stock up your yoga wardrobe, the ColorfulKoala High Waisted Brushed is one of our favorites.
