I normally spend $80 on m'Leggins from CAbi and they wear out in one season. These are super comfy from the second you put them on, have a ton of give (which is nice because I've gained weight), they're warmer (which will be helpful for my Ireland trip) and they're soft and I love how black they are. I will TOTALLY be buying more of these. Love that the skirt is longer than my CAbi ones but still shorter and several inches above the knee so you still look cute and stylish. Love these! Update: the first time I washed these the seams on the skirt TOTALLY unravelled and have huge gaping holes around the entire skirt seam that is supposed to attach to actual leggings. I loved these so much but after one wash and them doing that I will not be purchasing more like I thought I would. The thread wrapped itself around my other laundry and it was a complete nightmare getting everything untangled. Also, I have a washer that does NOT have an agitator so it washes with delicacy. These are definitely comfy and even more comfortable than my workout pants but one wash shouldn't make a product unwearable.
