For the price, these are gold. I get so many compliments on these. I've had them for several months and they haven't pilled. They remind me a lot of lu la roe leggings, but cheaper. In fact, these out-lasted a pair of my lu la roe leggings, haha. I do wash them with care though, which could be a good reason why they are lasting so long. Wash then inside out and on a regular cycle and dry them in medium heat. I have about 3 pairs and one of them did have a few loose threads after a while but no rips or tears yet.
