Imagine slipping into yoga pants that not only promise comfort but also feature a dedicated pocket for your firearm. In a surprising twist, the marketing team at Alexo Athletica has introduced the $99 Signature Pant and the $84 Carry Crop, designed with pockets for carrying essentials like keys, cards, and—yes—a gun. It seems they thought a practical solution was needed for those who wish to exercise while armed.
While it’s quite reasonable to desire a pocket for your phone or a few snacks, the inclusion of a firearm raises eyebrows. As a person who has never felt the need to carry a weapon in workout gear, I can’t help but question the rationale behind this design choice.
Marketing Campaign Concerns
Take a look at Alexo’s “Carry with Confidence” campaign, where a model dramatically pulls out what appears to be a water gun from her leggings, raising serious concerns about the message being conveyed. Yes, it would be convenient to have a few subtle pockets for everyday items, but do we really need to accommodate firearms in our yoga attire?
While there are certainly moments in a yoga class that can be distracting, the answer to that annoyance is not to arm oneself. Especially in light of recent tragic events and ongoing discussions about gun control, the need for a gun in yoga pants feels misguided. Experts in firearm safety consistently advise against carrying a gun in such a manner, as it poses significant risks.
Social Media Reactions
Adding to the controversy, conservative commentator and influencer Jenna Lynn took to social media to showcase these pants while brandishing a firearm, captioning her post with, “Live. Speak. Stand. Run.” To which one might retort: Holster! Holster! Holster!
Moreover, the practicality of doing yoga poses, such as downward dog, is questionable when carrying a firearm in your legwear. Even gun enthusiasts have expressed skepticism, as it’s crucial to prioritize safety and proper handling over fashion trends.
Staying Stylish and Safe
If you’re curious about how to stay stylish and safe, check out Alexo’s Instagram for more bewildering examples of their gun leggings, including women at shooting ranges, where safety protocols should always be a priority.
In a surprising twist, these leggings have already sold out in smaller sizes. If you need more information about home insemination options, visit our blog here.

In summary, while yoga pants are a staple for many, the addition of a firearm pocket may be a step too far, reflecting a trend that raises more questions than it answers.
