A Canadian Giveaway and Review: KP Athletic Wear!
I’m always looking for new workout gear that is comfortable and can move with me. My workout of choice is usually running, or if I’m at a gym, hopping on the elliptical. So I’m usually on the move and hate when clothes are too baggy or uncomfortable. Well, KP Athletic Wear turns out to be a good contender in the workout-wear department.
A Canadian-based company that you can shop online, the prices are in Canadian dollars (but these days, according to a currency converter, the prices are very close to being dollar for dollar!). While the sizing seems to be a bit off (runs larger than I’d expect), they do have a size chart, which makes it much easier to order online. We recently tested a few pieces from their line. See what we thought, and how you can win some KP Athletic Wear yourself—for once this is a Canadian-ready-only giveaway! (Be sure to check out their recent sponsorship of Olympian Dave Calder for the London 2012 summer games, too!)
Capris
The KP Athletic Wear Capris ($84.99) are very comfortable. They moved well with me and had pockets to store my stuff, even though those pockets were way too long. They spanned more than half the length of the capris—nearly down to my knees! I didn’t put anything in them for fear of it weighing me down or getting on my nerves while running. Less is more for me in the pocket department! Overall, though, very easy to wear. I wouldn’t suggest using them for a hard workout—they seemed a little baggy for that—but again, the size could be a factor.
Capri Leggings
The last item we tested was the Capri Leggings. These are more my style for working out! They are tighter and more fitted. Still, the size made them a little big, but still a good solid pant. Although they didn’t have pockets and the price was $84.99 (a bit steep for me!), they were quality.
Oh, and we also got to try the technical T that’s shown in the photos above! While nothing extra fancy to write home about, it’s a great basic moisture-wicking t-shirt, with plenty of extra room and coverage for those who don’t like their tops super fitted!
Want to win a pair of capris and a Tech-T of your own? KP Athletic Wear is giving a set of them away to one lucky Canadian reader. Yes, we said Canadian! Leave a comment with why you want to win, and we’ll select a winner in about a week. The winner will be notified in the comments and via email. Good luck to all of our neighbors to the north! —Kelsey

I’d love to win the workout clothing you reviewed. I’ve recently lost a lot of weight and need some new workout wear to go with my new body.
Yay a Canadian contest!!
I’d like to win because I need new running pants! The pair I have keep falling down leading to possible disasters.
Nice to see a Canadian contest!
I would like to win because I need to up my running frequency and another pair of running pants (Capri Leggings) would lower my wash/wear cycle!
Yay! I want to win because those clothes look awesome!! Would be great to support a Canadian company!
I work out everyday and am looking for new and great clothing!!
I’d love to win these! Too bad I’m here in the old USofA. D’oh!
I would love to win because, really, who doesn’t love new workout clothes? I find that the week or two after I get a new sweaty outfit I work out that much harder. Not sure if it’s all in my head – but it gives a nice added push!
I would love to win the clothes – I am new to running and need some workout clothes. I am still wearing the same gym clothes from my highschool years (*ahem….14 years old at least…)
So excited to see a Canadian Contest!!!!
I’d love to win because not only are my current running clothes getting old, but it would give me motivation to lose those incredibly stubborn last 10lbs!
Yea a Canadian Contest and a Canadian company…love it!
I could really use a new pair of pants. The ones I currently have slip down during workouts.
I just had a baby a couple months ago and am working hard to get my body back. It’s not easy with an infant & twins but I value my health. I would LOVE to win some new gear to keep me motivated when I feel too tired to get up & go!
Been following you girls for awhile now, thanks for all the information and moication you bring us! You girls rock!!
What a great giveaway from a Canadian company! Already went to their website to find more info! I’d lovelovelove the capri leggings & I’m always in the market for basic tech tees in cute colours:)
Good to find out about another good Canadian workout wear company. Would love to try their line, because when you work out frequently you need lots of clothes unless you do laundary a couple times a day.
I’d love to win because most of my current workout bottoms are getting on. Most runs these days involve me hiking up my pants every few minutes. Please, if not for me, spare my fellow Ottawans this unpleasant sight!
I would absolutely love to win those! I am so glad to see a Canadian giveaway :).
I have recently lost 30lbs. Usually I treat myself to new fitness gear at the end of every month if I meet my gym commitments, but lately I haven’t been able to justify the expenses. I am in dire need new fitness clothes as all of my gear is too big for me now!
I would LOVE to win these because I’m in some DESPERATE needs for some new workout threads!! :)With 3 young children at home, buying new gear isn’t at the top of my to-do list, although it should be! I work out daily, and have been known to wear things thin from overuse!!
Woohoo! A Canadian give-away! I would LOVE to win these. I’ve lost 115 pounds and am almost to my goal – I find it hard to find workout pants that don’t twist around on me (anyone else have this problem??) Most of my yoga pants are too big… this getting healthy business is costly!! Thank you! 🙂
I’d Love to win these because they look really cute and I like the idea of supporting a Canadian business. Also, nothing motivates me to get off my butt and exercise like some new clothes!
I would love to win these because I need to rock some new gear with all of my new weight loss.
I’d love to win it for my Mom who has started a new exercise routine/committment to better health to manage her Type II diabetes better. My Mom is a wonderful woman & on her way to a more toned body!
Canadian contest!!!!!!! I would love the chance to win because I feel that sometimes it is really nice to treat yourself to something that is not a necessity.
To have no workout clothes would be a a treat purchase to me. Winning would really be a huge treat.
Finally a contest we Canadians can enter “eh”? Have just started to work out, but I can only work out in the privacy of my own home as my stuff is tattered and old–would love to show off in public with great Canadian workout gear that isn’t Lulelemon.
New workout clothes always make you feel so much better about your image when heading out to the gym (with all those young gals in their lulu’s! Besides, I’m always in search of the perfect workout pant… could this be “the one”? Hoping to a chance to find out!
Hooray for a Canadian giveaway!!! I’ve been needing to replace my current workout pants. Winning this would totally help a girl out!
YAYAYAY for a Canadian giveaway! I would love to win since I’ve never had proper workout gear!
I would love to win this because all my workout clothes are getting loose and I’m just a student who can’t be spending so much money on clothes 🙁 I lost more than 20 pounds and I’m still working on losing about 30 lbs more. Xoxo
I would like to win because the gym is the only stress
relief I have from university! And my current gym
clothes are so uncomfortable it makes me dread
leg day (er…or gives me one more reason to do so 😉 )
hmmm…why I want to win…well, current gear is well loved/used and to the point of not being able to wash the “funk” out of it any more-it has become one with the clothing!
I’m with Joan, at this point my current gear could probably work out on it’s own, without me in it. Also, regardless of condition, my collection of volunteer t-shirts just isn’t as sharp as these duds!
Would love to workout using this great looking gear!
Yay, a Canadian contest! Very nice capris and very nice of you to offer it to us Canucks!
I’d love to win because I don’t think jeans are meant to be workout gear.
WOW a Canadian giveaway! sooo nice to see this!! I would LOVE some new workout gear! As a working mom of 2 boys, I find that any extra money I have goes to them!! I have been using the same shirt and capri pants for a while now, and would LOVE to upgrade my workout gear!! LOVE the blog ladies!!
Hurray for a Canadian giveaway! 😀
I would love to win some new workout clothing because it can be really costly for new workout pants and I am definitely in the market for some new ones!
Yay Canadian giveaways!
I’d love to win because I just ran my very first half-marathon a few weeks ago, and new workout gear would give me a little more inspiration to train for a full next year! 😀 Well, that, and the one pair of running pants I own are pretty worn. 🙂
Yahooo! A Canadian giveaway! 🙂
I’d LOVE to win some new workout gear as I am always on the lookout for “comfortable” clothes to work out in. I have lost some weight and I was always just a sweat pant/sweat shirt wearer before and now I’m getting more comfortable with my body so it’s time to show it off!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d love to win a pair of the capri pants! I’ve been living off my sister’s old workout clothes for 2 years now, as there is absolutely no money in my budget for workout clothes (I’m a very poor university student). although it isn’t a necessity to have workout clothes when working out, I think something that wicks moisture better for my sweaty legs would be great, especially when I do the CN Tower climb in April 2012.
A canadian giveaway?!? This is fantastic! Us poor Canadians are always getting left out of the good stuff. I’d love to win a pair of the cute capri leggings to wear in my hot yoga classes. I love hot yoga and try to go 4-5 times a week, You know how many pairs of leggings that is to go through in a week? I’m way to sweaty to wear anything but leggings, and buying new leggings all the time is definitely not in my budget!
Thanks agian for thinking of us Canadians! 🙂
I am a personal trainer and fitness instructor. I go through workout clothes like crazy. I am looking for new fitness clothes that last. I haven’t tried KP clothing but would love to try it out.
I would love a pair of new running pants to help push me through my long runs in the cold Alberta winter.
Congrats, Kara! You win! Emailing you now to get your mailing address. Woot! 🙂

Pefect timing! I am just starting to get back into exercise mode & some awesome new workout clothes would be great motivation!
Thanks for the Canadian contest!
Cool gear! Would make a nice addition to my workout wardrobe. New gear keeps me motivated!
I’d like to say that I want to win these because I’ve lost all kinds of weight and my clothes are too baggy. But the truth is, I got married this year and after losing 35 lbs before the wedding, I got rid of all my “get to skinny” clothes because I never thought I would need those baggy things again! But unfortunately those lbs have crept back and my “was at Skinny” pants are becoming those embarassing ones you see that are half transparent because they are too tight!! SO, I would love new workout clothes at my current size to get me back into “skinny!” (And back into non revealingly transparent pants!!)
Love a canadian contest and love to support a canadian company!!I’m rehabing at the moment from surgery and new gear would help the rehab for sure!
Awesome – a Canadian giveaway?! Whoo-hoo! 😀 I would love to win a pair of either pants, really, but the leggings come with perfect timing with winter soon descending upon us…Truth is, the good options out there are expensive, so winning a pair would sure alleviate the financial stress and allow me to truly use and abuse a new pair of workout pants – and use them I would, for running and workouts in the colder weather. Thanks for this opportunity – I know we all appreciate it! 😀
I would absolutely love to win a pair! I live in my workout gear and as of late . . . well, things are getting a little large. It would be great to be able to focus on the weights and treadmill rather than keepin my pants up 🙂
Love Canadian give-a-ways!!
xoxo
I pretty much live in the gym and go through workout wear fast! There are so many cute things in their online store, and I’m in need of something for winter running and biking!
