I got these as an extra layer for a recent December trip to the US North East and the UK and they were wonderful. They are thin enough to not feel bulky under jeans and added enough warmth that my legs were plenty warm enough even in my thin cotton trousers. Same goes for wearing them with knee-high boots and a dress (sometimes a gal wants to wear a dress in the cold winter and NOT freeze haha!)

They were very comfortable, didn't stretch out or get baggy. The waist band was comfortable (I kept it folded down so it would sit below my jeans waist band)

Highly recommended! They worked out great for me, I'm extremely glad I got them! (The weather was in the 30's F most of the time, with wind and rain.)
