I had high hopes for these leggings; alas, they are built for women with saddlebag hips and thighs.  I am just not built that way.  I have skinny legs and thighs.  So, if you don't need the extra room in the thigh and behind area, do not buy these.  If you do, they will probably work very well.  But, they also run a little short in my opinion.
