The quality of the Danskin CoolMax Supplex leggings has really gone down since they moved their factory and they are simply not the same product. The fabric on the new leggings is much thinner, the crotch panel is smaller and not cotton, the overall feel of the leggings is 'chintzy' and most of all they are poorly constructed - in the first wearing the stitching around the crotch panel started to give way and a hole formed. This happened on not one, but TWO pairs. I have a third pair, but am not going to 'test' it - two is enough to prove the quality. And no, I'm not trying to stuff myself into leggings that are too small - I bought size large because I like them to be a bit longer in the waist and leg, but am actually more of a medium (size 6).

I have been wearing Danskin leggings Style 1562 for at least 15 years and had at least 7 to 10 pairs over that time - some of which I still own and are in good shape (no crotch holes!) despite years and years of wear/wash and too many times of accidentally hitting the dryer. I would have given THOSE leggings 5 stars and a rave review (and have on other sites), but these new leggings (they say FIRY 814 where you'd see Style 1562 previously) are 1 star leggings at best - when two pairs fail in the first wearing it's a bad thing.

I waited for 6 MONTHS to get my leggings while Danskin moved it's factory and would have been totally happy with that wait if in the end I had received the leggings I know and love, sadly I did not. On the upside while Danskin was 'closed' I did find another brand that is almost as good and will probably switch over.
