Bring back the old design!
Terrible new version. The waist has heavy layered pockets with drawstring which do not stretch much, fabric feels tough, seams on inner legs are rough and scratchy, too many seams on the back of the leg and inner leg. I have the older version, which was nice except the fabric stretches out and they fall down, so are only good for lounging and travel if you like pulling them up every few minutes.
Great for Hiking and Active Days!
I’ve been using these tights for a while now on hikes and for other sports, and I really like them. They fit snugly, but the fabric is stretchy enough to move comfortably with you during any activity. One of the best features is the number of useful pockets — perfect for stashing snacks, keys, or a phone. I also love the mesh paneling from the back of the knees down — it really helps with ventilation and keeps you feeling cool, even during intense movement.
Bad…. Really bad unfortunately
I wish I would love them. But no… They are coming down while I’m running!! They do not stay in place even though I bought the right size. they are really low at the back. Bad really bad for a legging unfortunately.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the leggings did not perform as expected and did not stay in place during your run. Your experience is important to us, and we will pass your comments along to our team.
Great leggings
Purchased the blue color, now moving on to my second pair (phantasm color). Both hues are true to the images. For your information, I am 5’5, 118lbs. I typically wear xs in Arcteryx and this fits as expected. The length is more of a 7/8, which I personally prefer. The material is highly durable and does not pill. It is slightly scratchy though and not much stretch to them. I personally do not utilize the pockets, but they could certainly be useful if necessary. I deducted one star due to the steep price. I highly recommend this product.
Comfortable and Durable
I wear these leggings almost daily for rock climbing and have been extremely impressed by their durability over time. Most leggings don't hold up well to climbing and abrasion on the rock but these do. They are super comfortable to climb in as they move and stretch well with you as you move. The high waist makes them fit nicely under a harness and your waist doesn't get exposed to cold air when moving and twisting with your arms up during a climb. I also like the side pocket for putting a phone in on the approach!
I can live in these.
There are a lot of improvements from essent leggings in years past. The compression feels a bit more robust, they are really soft and are pill/tear resistant. The nylon/elastic combination gives a cool two-tone appearance and feel. They are comfortable, flattering and functional. Couldn't recommend more highly. I did go up a size, I normally wear a 0 in Arc'teryx pants and 2 in leggings, the waist on these has more structure and is a bit tighter. I felt more comfortable in a 4.
Frequently falling down
I own two pairs of the Essent shorts and love them. I can run for hours in them without having to adjust them. I was hopeful the tights would be similar. I bought the same size I wear in the shorts but unfortunately they fall down continuously and I am constantly having to pull them up. I like the fabric and the pockets, but the fit is poor. The shorts seem to have a higher waist band the tights are lacking.
Hi Lauren. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Essent High-Rise Utility Legging 26". We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the fit and that they fall down. We appreciate your comments and we will make sure to pass them to our team.
Comfortable but not durable
5'5" and typically wear 24-25 or 00-0 bottoms. I purchased a size 0 and it fits great. I've worn it both indoors and outdoors climbing and the rise is perfect for wearing a harness over it. Unfortunately tore a tiny hole after my third gym session wearing these so I'm not sure that the leggings are very durable, but the hole hasn't expanded since and I'm overall satisfied with the purchase.
Wonderful if they fit your body shape
I love these leggings. The fabric is the perfect balance of tough but stretchy. The side pockets easily hold keys wallet tissues etc. They wick well and dry pretty fast. After a year of being my go-to cool-weather trail running leggings they look brand new. They have endured thorns, rocks, and a few off-trail bushwacks - I am very impressed with the quality and am getting another pair.
Best legging ever !
It became my new favorite legging. It’s so comfortable yet looks very durable. The fabric olds itself and doesn’t look fragile. AND most important this legging is so comfortable and have a lot of pockets. I use it for yoga, running, day to day and so on. I would wear it everyday!! I’m thinking of buying another color. I own the shorts that I already loved so no surprise !
