In this video I’m doing an honest, unsponsored try-on and review of Balance Athletica’s Ascend Snow Leopard set from The Kingdom Collection. This drop was super anticipated and it literally sold out right away, so I’m sharing my experience getting it through pre-order and what you can realistically expect if you’re curvy and shopping one of these “hype” launches. I go over how it fits on my body, what the fabric and feel are like, and the overall vibe of the Snow Leopard print in real life (because photos online don’t always tell the truth). I also talk about the reality of availability—right now it’s not available on the website, so if you’re still hunting for it, you’ll probably be looking at resale sites like Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop. I include my measurements (5’7”, 32” waist, 43” hips) to help you compare sizing and decide if a set like this might work for you. If you’re into curvy-friendly activewear reviews with no fluff, this is exactly the kind of “here’s the real fit” breakdown I always try to give.
