These leggings have more pockets than any other I've ever had! Located on sides, hips, and back. Also comes with a detachable little pack that could be used for chalk. I am new to climbing and I wore these babies and absolutely loved these for that purpose! They are very stretchy and are contouring, and dont move around. The waistband hugs my hips perfectly without creating a double layer on my skin. The color really pops! My only complaint is the seam below the center back pocket is not very flattering to my body type - and possibly to any. It basically makes the behind look smaller & somewhat squiched. But even this is a very minor compromise to the overall esthetic and performance of these leggings!
These would have been the most helpful, stylish, and comfy hiking (or running around errands) pants if they would have fit me. I typically run in between size XS and S, but the sizing for these definitely run small for me. I'm 5'2", 120 lbs. Even a S may have been too constricting. Either way I took them for a 5 mile walk/jog and proved quite helpful with all the pockets it has in places I didn't even think of having them and different types of them. I typically stay away from pants with pockets because they're too bulky and/or not practical, but these pants were not this. The material is soft and with the right about thickness that made me feel secure; not flimsy at all. I also appreciated the seamless front area, with a horizontal area to contain my lower belly. The side seams are quite sturdy and remove any worries I sometimes have with gross movement. Absolutely cute pants and color! How I wish they would have fit better.
I loved the idea of these leggings. They’re bright, fun, with great pockets & a little hip bag for carrying phone, keys, wallet, etc. The material feels durable & somewhat weather-resistant while still being cool/not too warm, which would make them great for running or hiking in the warmer months. The material compresses without feeling too snug, but unfortunately for me that’s where the positive features end. I really wanted to love these leggings, but the material is see through & quite thin - meaning everything shows through. They’re not squat proof & I would not feel comfortable wearing them out in public. I’m disappointed they didn’t work for me - maybe they would if they were a darker color or a slightly thicker material.
I was so excited to try this product because I run long and like to carry a lot of snacks with me. These have so many wonderful pockets, plus an adorable mini-backpack for larger snacks, a battery charger, a small phone, etc. Unfortunately, however, I did not get the chance to use them this way because they were completely see-through. I would not have been comfortable wearing them out of the house. I did try them for a few indoor workouts so I could offer some feedback and they were comfy and offered good compression. I might have sized up one because the compression was actually higher than I prefer. I love the fun color and all the pockets! But, unfortunately, since they’re see-through and I’m primarily an outdoor runner I won’t be able to use them. I hope the company revisits this concept with a different fabric blend.
These are the only leggings that I have found at REI that are not see through when I squat down, so I bought two pairs-Large and XL. The large is for normal wear and the XL to fit over my base layer. Cons: both pairs constantly pull down, so I'm always having to yank them back up, even with the draw string. All of the pockets and zippers HURT when you pull them back up after going to the bathroom. The seams are already coming undone on both pairs and I've worn them under 10 times. Pros: they're not see-through, the material doesn't pill in the inner-thigh area, they don't seem to snag easily. Overall, I wouldn't recommend these unless you have a slim athletic build.
Love these leggings. I don’t understand the negative reviews—I found them true to size. I am a weightlifter, 120 lb with very muscular lower body and wear a size small comfortably. The waistband is not tight. I prefer high compression for lifting and running. These are not at the top range of compression, but they have just enough to be incredibly flattering and make me look hella snatched lol! I love them for hiking, walking, errands, etc. I’ve lifted in them and found the green squat-proof and sweat-proof. The pockets are perfect for dog walking and training!
I’m 5’3” 114lbs and usually wear a size xs or small. I ordered small here in conifer. These do look cute but are very compressive around the hips. I struggled to get them on and off because the waistband is unforgiving. I’m sad because the little backpack is so cute but they’re uncomfortable and are going back. I recommend sizing up.
Absolutely love the design of these. Great for carrying necessities like keys, credit card, phone, while out for hikes, dog walks, or city runs. However I went through 2 pairs of these and both ripped in different places from light wear. Really wish they'd have invested in better quality construction, especially given the price!
Love these leggings for trail running! The fit is great AND the pockets hold EVERYTHING. I’ve finally got a pair of pants that aren’t constantly falling down with just my phone in my pocket. I was able run with my key, phone, bear spray and small speaker in my pockets and had no issues! I will agree with comment about the underside of the back pocket sitting kind of tight on the top of my butt. That being said, it is just a minor inconvenience.
Huge fan of these leggings - they're soft, they compress in the right ways, stay up when running, and the pockets! So many functional pockets! I love the little pouch for when I'm running. I can keep my headphone case, chapstick, car key in there. Plus, if I don't want it, it just comes right off. They do run a hair on the small side for a medium, but nothing that would stop me from buying them again. I probably will buy another pair, because they've definitely become my favorite active leggings.
