I bought two pairs of these and am wearing them throughout Norway this week, and I'm loving them! I'm 5'9" and 135 lbs and xs is the size that fits me. Tried the smalls, but they slipped down annoyingly quickly. No slippage with the xs! The side pockets are great for my phone around town and while hiking- very secure and I feel that it is safe from pickpockets in crowded tourist areas of but cities, and it was secure on the 13+ mile Trolltunga hike in the Norwegian mountains. I was also able to stash light gloves or my sunglasses in the other side pocket on three go while hiking. The zipper pocket in back is perfect for holding a couple cards and a hair binder. With a backpack on, the pocket is high enough that the backpack covers it, and I also felt it was secure and safe from pickpockets. They're thicker leggings, so not for hot days on the trail, but great for the 40-60° I was hiking in today! Love them and eagerly await an excuse to purchase a third pair.
I do love these pants. My major problem is this. I ordered three pairs of pants at the same time. I wore the first two and kept these blue ones in their package. A week or two after delivery I opened it. I knew it would fit because the other ones did. When I went to put them on the very first time, the labeling on the side of the leg was already peeling off. Because I took the tag off before putting them on and wore them, I don't know if I can return them and I'm bummed. B but I also really don't want to wear a pair of pants where the labelings already coming off.
I’m ~5,9, size 6/8 curvy, usually a true Medium Pros: Comfortable material, fun design, Cons: Fit feels off- bit loose at the waist, side pockets at hips not stretching with the tights I really wanted to like these- the design and material are great. They just don’t seem to fit my curves. Sizing up may fix this, but the side pockets not stretching makes them very uncomfortable at the hips- however I’d be hesitant sizing up because the waist was already a bit loose. I feel the fit of the Mari & Cerro Cotapaxi tights in size medium were much more comfortable and curvy-friendly. Would definitely order those tights again!
I love these leggings so much that I have 3 pairs of them in different colors. They have 5 total pockets, including the two deep side ones and hidden back zipper pocket. They’re super soft, and seem to get more soft as you wash them. I wear these for everything from hiking to travel to working at home. I love these for travel because they really don’t retain a smell nearly as much as other leggings often do. These do stretch out a little after wear, so keep that in mind, but they are otherwise true to size. On the downside, once they stretch out these can get saggy and you find yourself pulling them up a lot, and with the stripes on the butt, they end up making your backside look kind of saggy also if they’re not pulled all the way up, so the back stripes aren’t really the most attractive. I wish they’d make these in a couple solid colors. I would also not consider these to be warm weather tights, you can wear them in cold weather but they aren’t lined or anything like you’d expect for winter.
The fabric feels so luxurious with great stretch. The color blocking on the black tights with rust and plum colors gets so many compliments every time I wear them. Ladies always ask where the store is in town, so appear serious about purchasing, so good job design team! Please make lots of color options. There are 5 pockets! One zip pocket at the waist in back, two small internal pockets at the waist band, and two larger external pockets along the side of the thigh. They wash beautifully. I now no longer pick my Athleta or other tights to wear first- these are my new favorites and so flattering!
I love these leggings! I love the multicolor, it has pockets, it fits great! The pockets are a bit smaller than pockets on my other leggings, but it still fits my iPhone 15. Most of my clothes are small, but I swear leggings run smaller than average. Quite a few of my leggings are medium so it’s hard to say if they are true to size. I’m 5’1” and 125lbs.
Absolutely in love with these tights! Besides the great colors with flattering color blocking (this is my second pair!) they are super comfortable, keep me warm as an under layer or while trail running, slight compression, and seams don't bother my very sensitive skin. Pockets are great, length is long enough (I'm 5'8" with long legs, short torso) and waist stays up and hugs nicely. LOVE them and love that Cotopaxi is such an ethical company--my new obsession...and happy to buy and wear their well-made products! THANK YOU for awesome designs, colors and caring about people and our planet!
These pants are thick enough to go out in the freezing cold. I love their design. It makes you look very slim from the side. The colors are all beautiful so I have bought all 4 pairs. You cannot buy a better pair of pants. Best to spend a little extra dollar them to end up with a cheaper useless pair.
I purchased these leggings in the blue/red colorway, and they are beautiful! I am usually an 8 in other brands and ordered a medium in these. They fit perfectly. As it is still in the upper 90's where I live, I have only worn these around the house, but they seem to be extremely well made. The description says they have added warmth, but they don't seem overly hot to me. Honestly, they are very comfortable, stay in place, and seem to be of higher quality than the last Cotopaxi tights I bought years ago. These are definite keepers!
I work out a fair amount and I’m a snob when it comes to my leggings. They have to be comfortable (no wedgies or scratchy weird seams while running), and they have to be high quality as I don’t want to bust a seam while doing a squat. These are hands down my absolute favorite tights to wear. They’re very well made and I love the color combination. Having two pockets are a huge plus. The best part is they reach my ankles- I’m tall so I appreciate the consideration! Thank you Cotopaxi team!
