I thought these looked a bit silly, but hey, since I planned to wear them under jeans, no one's going to see them, right? I am so glad I bought two pair. They fit closely, without binding. They aren't heavy, and yet they are warm, and I wear them under jeans riding horses. The wind and cold do not leak through. VERY comfortable, unlike anything I've tried before. They wash well. I also like the slight knee support the black material gives. Just enough, but nothing that interferes.
