The best Nike leggings for kids

From football training to the climbing frame, the best clothing for kids is designed to keep up with their active, adventurous lifestyle.

When it comes to leggings, the best pairs for kids are durable enough to withstand all the ways kids move while still being stretchy, comfy and versatile for everyday wear.

Nike kids' leggings are made in a variety of lengths, fabrics, rises and fits in the following size ranges:

• Older Kids (sizes XS to XL, generally for kids ages 7 to 15)
• Younger Kids (ages 4 to 7)
• Babies and Toddlers (ages 0 to 4)

If the kid in your life is starting to outgrow children's sizes, consider checking out Nike tights and leggings for adults instead.

Whether the day calls for a game in the park or a day of classes at school, Nike Sportswear provides comfortable leggings for every occasion. Shop styles with unique, colourful prints, as well as those displaying the iconic "Swoosh". Many Nike Sportswear leggings for kids feature jersey fabric that's soft to the touch and suitable for all-day wear.

For sport and other activities that might have kids breaking into a sweat, opt for a pair of leggings made with moisture-wicking Nike Dri-FIT technology. Nike Dri-FIT is an innovative polyester microfibre fabric that pulls sweat away from the skin and helps it evaporate quickly.

You can find Nike Dri-FIT fabric in kids' leggings, tops, sports bras, socks and more.

Heading out camping or hiking? Check out high-performance Nike All Conditions Gear (ACG) apparel for adults and kids alike. The entire collection of apparel, footwear and accessories is designed to be durable enough to withstand the elements outdoors.

Nike ACG kids' leggings are made with waterproof and wind-resistant technology, which keeps little adventurers warm and dry throughout the day.

For chilly weather, you may be looking for apparel with insulative properties to keep little ones warm. Enter Nike Therma-FIT clothing. This technology—which you can find in jackets, sweatshirts, joggers, leggings and more—contains a special microfibre fleece that helps retain the body's heat.

If the kid in your life likes the gently compressive feeling of a pair of leggings but the weather calls for shorts, go with a pair of kids' biker shorts. Nike Pro tight shorts, for example, feature a snug waistband for minimal slippage, mesh panels for extra breathability and sweat-wicking Nike Pro fabric that keeps little athletes cool and dry.
