[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was on the hunt for a replacement for my favorite Columbia Women’s Uphill Edge Leggings (seriously 5-star leggings in my closet!), and since they’ve been discontinued, I decided to give the Boundless Trek leggings a try. Overall, they’re solid. The fabric is thicker than the Uphill Edge, which makes me question how breathable they’ll be in hot, sweaty summer months—but they’re definitely not see-through, which is a win. The fit is very similar, but the Trek leggings are a bit snugger in the thighs and looser in the waistband. As someone with curvier thighs, I find myself tugging them up more often than I’d like. Still, they’re comfortable, flattering, and a pretty good alternative if you loved the Uphill Edge like I did. Just not quite as awesome—hence the 4 stars. Please bring back the Uphill Edge leggings, Columbia!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a large and a XL. The material is not extra stretchy and the XL was baggy. I am 5'7", 190 pounds and normally wear a size 16 in this brand's pants. Keeping the large pair. The pants are cute and I like the pockets. Haven't worn for extended periods yet to determine if the fabric stays firm or stretches out.
I bought a month ago. Did not realize they had a bit of a shine to them. Not major. Other than that these are really nice attractive leggings. I guess it depends on the person. I don't see any sheerness. Nice buttery material. I am 5'7.5 and 143lbs, size med. I would try them if we're you.
The quality is good but I am highly disappointed with the sizing guide. I am usually an XL but following the sizing guide, it was suggested to get the XXL. Even after washing and drying, these pants are way to big. They are loose around the waist and lower legs
I went up a size on this and the fit is perfect and not see through like another reviewer complained. These are very lightweight but perfect for the summer weather that is hopefully right around the corner.
I was looking for a legging for some travel this fall and from the description, these looked like they would work. However, they are very thin and I can see through them. Just a tad too thin even in black.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable, form fitting with no restrictions in movement. They are great for heading to the store or running around chasing the grandkids.
I’ve purchased theses in the past and they are very well made and long lasting. True fit too.
