I have bought quite a few gym tights, last I bought a Reebok and all are made with a tight bathing suit type shiny fabric I dislike as it makes you feel trapped within polyester with this lacey things on the legs that itch. This Danskin legging, yoga capri or whatever it may be called is soft to the skin but still holds up great, non shiny non plasticky feeling, and it comes to your ankle so you can move freely. Will be buying this brand from now on.
