Promising review: "Very soft. Warm and cozy. Wore in N. Cali cool night temperature and was warm. Inside and hood lined with fuzzy fur, but sleeves lined with a woven knit fabric so that they are not bulky, but are still warm. So far no pilling up on outer surface and washed well on gentle cycle for the first pre-wear wash. Seems that it will definitely last a while." —BABYnurse

Promising review: "Love love these! Perfect for running, general exercise, yoga, hiking or lounging. So comfortable and helped prevent/heal chafing I had from an 8-mile hike. I run and exercise every day. I have two pairs of these and I’m in love with them. Definitely my favorite workout pants. The pocket is great for my iPhone 6 and the waistband is very comfortable with some support for my tum. The material is thicker than other leggings but not hot. Not see-through." —Jen P

Promising review: "This is is such a cute and nice hoodie. It is fitted but not tight which makes it really cute to wear. The material is unique and lighter so its been perfect for the in-between weather. Tie dye is printed so it won't run onto other clothes in the wash and it won't fade. I will probably buy a couple more of these in different colors." —WilliB8121

Promising review: "I'm a stylist and have been trying on many, many Amazon leggings for fit. These are the best for my curvy hips and a smaller waist. I am about a size 12, and these are not too thick but have compression. The feel is GREAT. They seem very high quality. They are so completely comfortable I am wearing them without something covering my butt, for the first time in about a year. (These show off my curves!) I'm wearing a size L and am now shopping for several other pairs!!." —Auretha, Image & Brand Stylist

Promising review: "I’ve been buying MeUndies underwear for years now and have always wanted more micromodal in my wardrobe.

So extremely comfortable and lightweight enough to wear year round." —April

Promising review: "Wow! I was extremely skeptical of these leggings considering they’re a 'one size fits all' type of deal. I am 5'5" and curvier. I was worried they were going to be too tight or see-through. However, that’s not the case! They are not see-through even after three washes so far. They are extremely soft and comfortable. The only thing I noticed is they are more of a muted black compared to some of my other leggings but it’s barely noticeable. I liked them so much I ordered a second pair. Def would recommend!" —nichole campton

Nice, cheap and functional. Can't go wrong with this item." —Hussain Kachwalla
