I got the yellow and you can definitely see the color of my underwear! I thought the price point and woman owned would have avoided that but hopefully I can return for a darker pair. I can see how they’d be a good base layer when skiing so looking to return for a different color!
These leggings are amazing! I ordered them to try as a base layer for skiing, but also just to have another pair of leggings for ski trips (travelling, apres, etc.). I prefer a lighter, merino base layer - these were a bit thick to ski in for my liking BUT! I absolutely love them for a post-ski lounge/apres sesh or for traveling. They are compressive yet perfectly giving and the high waist sucks you right in. I also love where they hit - I normally wear a 25" inseam and these fit right on my ankle bone. Not see through at all, and they wash really nicely (I hang dry). I only wish I was able to order these in the espresso color from last year!
Purchased the set as an under layer for snowboarding. Wore only one day and washed on delicate (air dried) once & already looks the legging & long-sleeve have been worn for months. Especially for the price, I would expect better quality.
I wanted to love these so bad! They are incredibly soft, stretchy and comfortable. Unfortunately, the pair I received had a hole in it. I returned them bc I don't trust a new pair won't tear again. Disappointing :(
These leggings were better than expected! I wore them during a 26 mile backpacking weekend and they were exactly what I’d want in a pair of leggings—they didn’t ride down, sat comfortably above my hips, were really breathable and had a good stretch (without stretching out) that made it so I could easily crawl under or over things. On top of that, they didn’t tear or peel, despite having my dog’s leash around my waist and having my pack. I’m excited to see how they hold up over more time, but as of now they’ll be my go to. They are honestly just really comfortable and I can see them working well for many uses. They wash well—I hang dried them just to be safe. I ordered a size small and I am 126lbs, 5’4”, waist 26” and hips 36”.
Big fan of these! They are great for skiing, touring, snowshoeing, and winter running. The length is perfect so the bottom of the pants doesn't bunch up when I put my ski socks on, and the high-waisted fit is very flattering/comfy. They are super soft, moisture-wicking, and just all-around kick-ass. Size: Small Height: 5'5' Weight: 130lb Hips: 37/38 in Waist: 26/27in
Compressive yet comfortable, I have been wearing this since I got them around the house (not getting to the mountain anytime soon unfortunately). But they are amazing, hold you in without digging or rolling down. I love the color and the flattering ribbing design. 10/10
If you love a legging that sucks you in, this is it! I’m obsessed with this material, it is on the thicker side and has the perfect amount of compression where you can still move around, but you also feel snatched!
These leggings are great. I am usually a size 14 in women's and got an XL and they for perfect. They are very warm too, would make a great base layer in the winter.
super flattering, high quality fabric! Perfect for all things active and can't wait to wear under my ski fits.
