Best legging ever !

7 months ago
It became my new favorite legging. It’s so comfortable yet looks very durable. The fabric olds itself and doesn’t look fragile. AND most important this legging is so comfortable and have a lot of pockets. I use it for yoga, running, day to day and so on. I would wear it everyday!! I’m thinking of buying another color. I own the shorts that I already loved so no surprise !

Incredible Pockets

7 months ago
Enough pockets for pretty much everything, and nothing jostles or bounces when I run! I wore a pair of these for three straight days in the Tetons and adore them. Good support and compression, and perfect pockets on both thighs and waist. Plus, the waist pockets don't contribute extra bulk when not in use.

Waist keeps rolling down

11 months ago
I bought this two months ago for yoga purposes. I liked the fit but every move and poses I do the waistline is rolling down. I have to roll it up every time. It's kind of distracting. It does the same thing with size 2 and size 4 to me, so I believe it's not the size.

Comfortable and Durable

11 months ago
I wear these leggings almost daily for rock climbing and have been extremely impressed by their durability over time. Most leggings don't hold up well to climbing and abrasion on the rock but these do. They are super comfortable to climb in as they move and stretch well with you as you move. The high waist makes them fit nicely under a harness and your waist doesn't get exposed to cold air when moving and twisting with your arms up during a climb. I also like the side pocket for putting a phone in on the approach!

I can live in these.

11 months ago
There are a lot of improvements from essent leggings in years past. The compression feels a bit more robust, they are really soft and are pill/tear resistant. The nylon/elastic combination gives a cool two-tone appearance and feel. They are comfortable, flattering and functional. Couldn't recommend more highly. I did go up a size, I normally wear a 0 in Arc'teryx pants and 2 in leggings, the waist on these has more structure and is a bit tighter. I felt more comfortable in a 4.

Not great

11 months ago
I wanted to like these. While standing still they’re nice, but once you start moving they do not hold up. I tried both a small and medium, they do not stay up when hiking or walking.

Great pants for running/workouts!

a year ago
Big improvement from the first version! Unlike my previous pair, this version has a drawstring and stays put without the waistband rolling down. Love the mesh panelling on the legs. I'm 5"4, these are full length on me but if you're tall would be more like 3/4. Fits true to size.

Scratchy fabric

a year ago
The fit is great, but I found the fabric to be uncomfortable. It was scratchy and not soft on the skin. I find myself wearing the warm version of these leggings way more. This pair just sits in my closet.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great for runs, hikes, and high-speed adventures, these are everything you want your all-mountain leggings to be. Plus, pockets. The Chira material is abrasion resistant, breathable, and has excellent stretch. Secure and bounce-free, the 360° stretch-mesh waistband pocketing holds gels and smaller essentials. A zippered security pocket and easy-access thigh pockets add more storage. Mesh panels at the lower leg ventilate, a wicking finish manages moisture, and seam placement maximizes comfort.
