Let me start by saying these leggings are a GAME-CHANGER for my workouts. The buttery-soft fabric feels like a second skin, and the high-waist design? Absolute magic for tummy control without feeling like a sausage casing.

The 4-way stretch is perfection—I can squat, lunge, and even attempt (emphasis on *attempt*) yoga inversions without worrying about sheerness. No accidental flashing here, folks! The thickness is just right—not too thin to be see-through, not too thick to feel like a sauna suit.

Now let’s talk POCKETS. As someone who hates arm bands for phones, the side pockets are life-saving. My iPhone XR fits snugly during runs, and I’ve even stuffed keys in there without that annoying jingle-jangle. The gusseted crotch is a subtle hero—no awkward seams chafing during spin class.

The mesh cut-outs? Genius. I wore these during a 90°F Florida hike and actually felt airflow (a miracle for leggings!). They dry crazy fast too—I spilled water on them mid-workout and they were dry before my next set.

Size note: I’m 5’5", 145lbs (muscular thighs crew!) and the Medium fits like it was tailored for me. They’ve stayed put through burpees AND grocery runs—no constant yanking up required.

After 3 months of abuse (weekly washes, CrossFit sessions, and yes, even gardening), they look brand new except for minor mesh fraying where I snagged them on a fence. Color hasn’t faded either—my black pair still looks crisp against lighter tops.

The ONLY con? No belt loops (but honestly, who needs belts with this level of waistband security?). These have replaced all my pricier athletic leggings—I now own three colors and planning more. If they made these in Capri length? Take all my money, RAYPOSE!
