Men's leggings aren't a thing in India. It's a pretty conservative society, and that extends to the way men dress… but not everyone plays by the rules.
Meet Ayan, a street athlete and member of the Kolkata Parkour club. What’s Parkour you ask? It’s batshit insane street acrobatics where dudes flip off things and jump between balconies and generally act like Spider-man on steroids.
Parkour is pretty much made for rocking men’s leggings but it was difficult for Ayan to get a pair because of social customs and the cost of buying western goods.
What happens next is one of those bloody great stories that makes you glad to be alive.
A long-time Kapow customer and meggings fan by the name of Terry S. ordered a pair of Kapow Meggings for his buddy and shipped them to the subcontinent.
This is Ayan's reaction on trying them for the first time...
WHAT A LEGEND.
You know what they say…. you never forget you first time.

Since we launched Kapow we’ve seen men all over the world rocking meggings and compression tights for every kind of fitness activity imaginable… like rock climbing, zumba, BASE jumping, tightrope walking, scuba diving, Spartan Races, marathons, yoga, and acrobatics to name just a few.
We’ve created different ranges of male leggings based on your preferred activity.
Lightweight, breathable, with four-way stretch. They’re designed to fit like a second skin and are ideal for fitness activities that involve stretching, movement and running. They make the perfect men’s yoga leggings.
For when the going gets tough. Men’s compression leggings that are battle tested and super durable. They feature bounce-proof phone and stash pockets, extra tough stitching, and a sports gusset for extra strength and flexibility. These are the gold standard for gym leggings and workout leggings.
