I have bought at least 4 pairs of these leggings. I love them for walking the dog, lounging, and going to the grocery store, but I do not love these for the gym. Bottom line: they are a great bang for your buck if you aren't planning on doing anything high impact.Pros:+ They are stretchy and extremely comfortable. There is a lot of give in these,.+ They are not really see through (unless they are very stretched out, at which point you should go up a size).+ The leg length and waist height (it's very high waisted) is pretty much perfect for me (a 5'8" person)+ They are super comfortable and breathable; they are very cool (do not buy these if you want warm leggings)+ They are "slick" fabric, so the pilling is minimal where my thighs rub together.+ Super minimal branding and extremely classic style. I love that these are basically just black leggings!+ The pockets are so handy! I can fit my phone and even my keys (though it looks lumpy).+ The price is absolutely right; these are the highest quality leggings I have been able to find in this price point.Cons:- I wish these had a draw-string at the waist. I am pear shaped; these fall down if I run or exercise heavily in them because the waist is a little too big. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO WORK OUT IN THESE. I understand that the draw-string would interrupt the smooth line, but I'll be damned if I want to be pulling up my pants every 90 seconds while I'm on the elliptical.- You will have a visible panty line if you don't wear underwear that is "smoothing/athletic/no-show".- These are see through after a certain number of washes/wears as the fabric gets thinner. This is typical of leggings in general.- Not really a pro, but if you are looking for compression - look else where. Given that these are stretchy, there is extremely limited compression in these.
