These are wonderful and very warm. I do much better with high-rise fits due to my body shape, and I am so tired of all the poorly-fitting low-cut long johns I've had to buy for years because someone thought that women liked exposing their bellies during cold weather. These come up to my waist, fit really well, and are very warm and soft. I'll buy more pairs next time they go on sale. Thank you for FINALLY serving the needs of us with mature women's bodies.
I have a large range of merino base layers and it’s difficult to find the heavier weight ones. These are silky a wonderful on…that said they are cut strangely tight in the calves and large in the hips and butt. Also, the inseam is shorter than I expected (closer to the video than the model pictures) I have a size small and my hips are ~40 inches. Once these warm up there is at least an extra inch in the bit and thighs, and as the calves are tight (my calves are just shy of 15 inches) the legging pulls down throughout the day even though the waistband fits as per the size chart. The upside is they remain comfortable and this isn’t an issue when worn as a base layer. However, the crotch-sagging IMO would make them impossible to wear as leggings on their own. (Plus people with regular to small hips would likely be unable to keep them up).
Comfortable, warm and soft! These leggings are the highest quality I have found yet. I look forward to many winter days outside staying warm and protected from the cold!!!
