I have been working out for 4 months now and I wanted to get pants-which the color does not fade away. This type of material is perfect, no matter how many times you wash it, the color stays the same. Also if you sweat, it is not noticeable which is great because us women tend to be self-conscious about that at the gym. The material is quality,  and they do fit loose. I've had a pair of these before so I am writing the review based on those. I recently just purchased a size medium and I was 130 pounds.  They were big on me and every time I tried to run they will start falling off a little bit so they were not comfortable (not because of the pants, but because I got the the wrong size). I gave them to my friend and she LOVES THEM!!! Anyway, I wish these pants were a little cheaper, but overall if you have the money invest on it because they are worth it.
