Obsessed with these!

22 days ago
So, I’m super picky with leggings, I’ve tried them ALL! I’m a size 14 so not small, and I just find even if they claim not too, they do several things: 1. They roll over the stomach whenever you bend down or do anything other than stand perfectly straight. 2. They loosen off as the day goes on and I end up having to constantly pull them up and get annoyed when for some reason the knee area goes kinda baggy until I wash them again. And 3. Because I’m such a hot running person they get too hot and start to bug me. These somehow solve for ALL of that!! (And I had the previous version of these leggings and they didn’t solve for these things either) but wow! SO impressed by these! The 14 fits true to size. No rolling over on the belly. I don’t have to pull up constantly as the day goes on and they stay fitted all day! AND to top it off, the side panels are sort of a super fine mesh- you can’t tell to look at but it’s there- and is incredible for keeping me cool! I now want all the colours.

Great for Hiking and Active Days!

3 months ago
I’ve been using these tights for a while now on hikes and for other sports, and I really like them. They fit snugly, but the fabric is stretchy enough to move comfortably with you during any activity. One of the best features is the number of useful pockets — perfect for stashing snacks, keys, or a phone. I also love the mesh paneling from the back of the knees down — it really helps with ventilation and keeps you feeling cool, even during intense movement.

Frequently falling down

5 months ago
I own two pairs of the Essent shorts and love them. I can run for hours in them without having to adjust them. I was hopeful the tights would be similar. I bought the same size I wear in the shorts but unfortunately they fall down continuously and I am constantly having to pull them up. I like the fabric and the pockets, but the fit is poor. The shorts seem to have a higher waist band the tights are lacking.

Constant slide down

6 months ago
These do not work for running at all, they slide down every couple of meters. I would not recommend these for any type of active movement. I have found the same while climbing and also just everyday wear. Also the material is super shiny, at first I thought I'd get over it since the material seemed more durable, but its not super flattering. Fit and fabric need revision.

Comfortable but not durable

9 months ago
5'5" and typically wear 24-25 or 00-0 bottoms. I purchased a size 0 and it fits great. I've worn it both indoors and outdoors climbing and the rise is perfect for wearing a harness over it. Unfortunately tore a tiny hole after my third gym session wearing these so I'm not sure that the leggings are very durable, but the hole hasn't expanded since and I'm overall satisfied with the purchase.

Great leggings

9 months ago
Purchased the blue color, now moving on to my second pair (phantasm color). Both hues are true to the images. For your information, I am 5’5, 118lbs. I typically wear xs in Arcteryx and this fits as expected. The length is more of a 7/8, which I personally prefer. The material is highly durable and does not pill. It is slightly scratchy though and not much stretch to them. I personally do not utilize the pockets, but they could certainly be useful if necessary. I deducted one star due to the steep price. I highly recommend this product.

Essent High-Rise Utility Legging 26" Women's

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.
